What does your TRT protocol look like and how long have you been on that current protocol? I assume you’ve tried different doses / ancillaries over the years without success?
I don’t know if I understand the point of supercharging your hormones for libido only to control them with an AI. E2 has a strong correlation with libido. Everybody aromatizes differently so there is not a one size fits all answer. For me personally, I start to have issues around 500mg. I’ve not had issues running 300mg/wk and don’t see many that do.
It was pretty strong on that dose. IMO, it was almost too much. YMMV though.
What is the highest dose you have done per week? I am not sure based on your post listing out things you have tried.
I would recommend you to start a bit lower if this is going to be long term. Maybe start at 200 mg/wk if you haven’t tried that. If no libido, up it a bit and repeat.
I have been debating a bit lower, like 125mg twice per week (250mg total per week). Then again, i guess theres not much difference between 250mg and 300mg per week.
Have you ever gone on a trip and injected more to make up days that you won’t be pinning? When I do that, I get crazy libido. Maybe I should switch to less frequent injections.
To me it seems like 200-250 once a week would be a great starting point. Not sure. It is an experiment. 300 mg a week would make me a bit nervous.
I tend to think once per week isn’t frequent enough, but my own anecdotal evidence tells me that I feel pretty good at least for that week.
Tough to tell what is going to be best. You mentioned above that 300 mg every other week was the best for libido. I am thinking you need some variation (big spikes) in test levels to have good libido. I think you should at least start with a bit lower than 300 mg a week. If it is me, I would look to 200-250 mg either once or twice a week, but I would probably start with once, based on your 300 mg every other week data.
Shit I’d take 300+ at once and see what happens if libido is that much of an issue and it’s the only thing that’s worked before. That is assuming there’s no obvious reason that’s a bad idea for you. Anxiety, etc.
I agree that based on previous protocols, that once a week makes sense. However, I would try the lower dose first to see if I felt good. It isn’t like 200-250 mg a week is a small TRT dose.
