Guys, As some of you know, I recently changed protocols from weekly injections to every 3.5 days. That change was a pretty drastic decision on my part but I almost immediately felt the benefits of it and stayed the course for seven weeks before drawing blood the day before next injection...

LMAO!

good read. Thanks!

Do you think there is any difference between compounded testosterone and pharmaceutical grade testosterone you would get from your local pharmacy other than the oils used? I've always been curious as to the quality and accuracy of the medication from a compound pharmacy.

Yeah, I should know better.

Ah, i see what you mean now. I'm just wondering at this point if 30 mg EOD is on the higher side. I feel pretty amped up and i'm only on my third shot. Is this normal or should i go down to 25mg? My numbers were pretty good on 50 mg every 3.5 days but now I'm second guessing myself if I made the...

wow! 5mg drops your levels by half? that's crazy. maybe that's why at at 30 mg i'm feeling pretty amped up. I tend to feel better in the middle of the road. I'm only on my 3rd shot but i definitely feel it. maybe i should back it down to 25mg.

you beat me too it Mark. LOL!

IM is IM, shallow, deep, its still inside the muscle. I thought it was going to be impossible to draw but it wasn't. It takes a little longer obviously but it flows. Right now I'm using a compound pharmacy which uses grape seed oil. I'm switching back to my regular pharmacy which uses...

Yes, it's definitely IM with the 1/2" in the delt, and based upon the sexy pic you posted here it would be IM in the thigh too. LOL! just kidding about the sexy part. The thigh is super easy. no twisting around hoping you get the right spot. best way to gauge where to inject in the thigh is if...

I went through the whole list of syringe sizes. prior to switching on MarkM's recommendation. I was drawing with a 18 gauge and injecting with a 1" 25 gauge. I normally alternate thigh injections and they would get sore for a couple of days but it was tolerable. However, these easy touch...

what kind of total testosterone levels could i expect injecting 30mg EOD? i was in the low 600 injecting 50mg every 3.5 days. just curious if the more frequent shots will raise my total T.

@MarkM, I just used the syringe you recommended. What a difference man. Totally painless. Thanks again.

why not just inject in the thigh or delt? MarkM recommended these to me and it was quite painless. Easy Touch® Insulin Syringes 28 Gauge &nbsp|&nbsp 1/2 in 1 cc Syringe

give this a try first. it works for me. for those that suffer from occasional prostatitis.

Thanks for the link.

Oh, one more question. what syringe and gauge are you guys using for these small doses? i currently use a 1ml easy touch luer lock syringe but i have to use a 18 gauge to draw then switch to a 25 gauge to inject. I can never get the test out of the vial with the 25 gauge.

Ok then, I'm going to give EOD a go at 30mg. Thanks for the input guys.

Thanks guys. I used discountedlabs which uses the estradiol sensitive test. Any downside to the EOD protocol like high Hematocrict issues or anything like that?

Thanks for the input guys!

What is LC/MS/MS test?

I wanted to start another thread so not to get off topic with another thread I started. About 8 weeks ago I switched to 50mg of test every 3.5 days and feel pretty good on that protocol but feel there is room for Improvement. On this protocol I have not needed any AI’s which is one of the main...

Thanks MarkM! Getting better but boy what a ride.

How long does HCG stay in the body? This stuff makes me feel like crap. Good grief!

I stopped everything and started with 50mg of test every 3.5 days for about 7 weeks and then got my labs which are on the 1st post of this thread. I then introduced 250iu of HCG 2x a week at the same time as test injection about 2 weeks ago and that's when things went down hill with terrible...

I definitely feel pretty good on every 3.5 days. Just curious on the EOD protocols since My SHBG is pretty low. I'm going to stick with every 3.5 days for a while but i think i will eventually try EOD in the future to see if i feel even better. I like to take things slow. going from 200mg per...

30mg seems like a lot for EOD factoring in the half life of testosterone. would that put you at the higher end of tetosterone levels? I'm currently in the low 600's and feel pretty good there. what do you think?

out of curiosity, If I'm at 50mg of test cyp every 3.5 days what would the dosage be for someone on EOD protocol?

I thought about it due to my low SHBG. At every 3.5 days I'm feeling pretty darn good and I don't have to inject so frequently but it's something I may try in the future.

Absolutely! Introducing one thing at a time and every 3.5 day protocol was the best advise I've ever gotten. Now I know for SURE that HCG is not for me. I really love the site and all the knowledge I've gained from it. Thank you all!

I was able to stay away from anastrozole with the new protocol of every 3.5 days but once i incorporated HCG a few weeks ago i definitely feel its up. I'm just going to stick with the above protocol as my levels were pretty dialed in. My goal was to get away from anastrozole so no more HCG for me.
