I always thought of a small stable injection base (once to twice a week) + cream for daily T pulse. This could eventually provide the necessary fluctuations without going too low as soon as the gel alone effect goes south.
But I can´t find a doctor working with injections, let alone the cream. In this country all I hear is bioidentical T gel.
I just switched to once weekly shots from E3D in order to stir up some levels so they are always so stable.
Please let us know how it works out for you!
Whats interesting is that i’ve been 50mg test every 3 days.
Monday i took my 100mg shot, and tuesday and today feeling a little frisky.
I know it’s just the change up, but it’s nice. Wish it would last…
Keep alternating…
Yeah man. There might very well be a large group of guys that do well injecting once a week so their levels aren’t so stable. One of the facts of life is there are no highs without lows.
You mean like 100mg once per week, then the following week, do 50mg E3D… then next week 100mg once again… and so on and so on?
I actually thought about this…
@highpull any thoughts on this sorta protocol? Once a week, then following week two shots, then next week back to one and so on etc…
None, but I would be very interested in hearing about how it turns out.
Yeah thats what I mean
You could even go 2 weeks. same for 2 weeks then change either dosage or frequency. So every 2 weeks change.
Am inclined keep frequency same and just change dosage. Or else hard to manage.
Ive been on this board for a while (even before what my profile says( I know most of your experiences.
Keep on man…
We used to have a member on here advocate changing up.
I’m gonna run with the 100mg/week and just see if viagra works better, because right now, it’s not.
For a long time, viagra was working with my 50mg test every 3 days protocol, but now, i need like 200mg of viagra to even get some help.
I’ll see if 100mg once a week makes it work better. If not, i may try that bizarre protocol because I’m really thinking i need instability to feel something.
This is not an experienced advice (as you probably already know, haha), but very small deviations every time you take T could probably create the needed fluctuations for better “overall” results. These temporary little swings could mimic natural T production better.
No fixed pattern. A random pattern would probably be even better.
As of now, you probably already know what´s the minimum and maximum that “work” for you.
Hows the once weekly dosing going?
I’m only on my second week. But its strange… almost immedately changing protocol from E3D to weekly, my shoulder joints are unusually achy. I’ll see if it goes away, but may need to increase dose.
What about libido and over all feeling.
Glimpses of libido, but still not sure yet.
I have my squaw coming over tonight. Will report back to see if theres an uptick in how will the viagra works.
Let us know how you get on. Dailys solid for 2 years has had no impact for me. Recently started to add 75mg once a week as a “TRT boost”. Early days but there has been glimpses of libido that have not been there previously. I am starting to think there is something in this not being too stable.
I think stable is good for musculature and for mood. Not so much for libido.
I’d rather be a moody asshole and have sex drive than be a calm dude without.
In the past anytime I tried too high of a frequency things just mellowed out. Any time I went back to lower frequency and got that huge bolus in my system I can definitely “feel it” including libido and erections.
I just now learned I need to control my E2 as i seem to be sensitive to it, and I mean literally getting in the 30s already affects me negatively. So I would use an AI regardless the frequency to make my TRT work.
Sounds like you are describing Tren
So, so far, after switching to Once weekly shot from every three days, I feel sporadic libido and way better morning wood.
Will keep you posted.
