Hello, new to here, I have a simple question which is hard to find an answer for. I’m on 250mg of test cyp every 7 days, and I want to switch to 125mg every 3.5 days to have more stable levels. How do I go about switching to that? Do I start on the 7th day and pin 125mg? Or do I pin 3.5 days after my last 250mg pin? Thank you.
It really doesn’t make a lot of difference.
If you do the first 125 mg injection three days after your last 250 mg shot, your testosterone levels will spike higher for a few days, before dropping down over the next couple of doses.
If you leave it for a week after the last 250 mg shot, your testosterone will start off lower and build up to a stable level after a few injections.
You could plot the values using a tool like Steroidcalc if you’re feeling really OCD.
It doesn’t make a difference. Honestly 250mg a week you won’t be able to really feel a difference. Bump it up to 500mg a week. Then you will feel better mentally and physically. Just tell your old lady to hide because you’ll get raging boners and will want to hump like a rabbit. Lol.
Thanks guys, I appreciate it.
start after 3-4 days
