Thanks, all. So, I assume it’s safe to drop from 200mg to 100mg? My last shot was 100mg and I feel the same since Thursday. I also started taking
enclomiphene for teste shrinkage…will see how that does.
Again as others have stated forget the
enclomiphene as your hpta will still be shut down.
If you are concerned with maintaining fertility and minimizing/preventing testicular atrophy which is a given when using exogenous T then you will want to look into hCG.
Even then as I stated previously you are far better off starting on a T-only protocol before throwing in the hCG as we want to see how your body is going to react to testosterone let alone where said protocol (dose T/injection frequency) will have your trough TT/FT levels.
You can eventually add in hCG if need be.
The bottom line here is do what you feel is best for you.
If you want to stay on your current protocol then go nuts.
Not a smart move starting out on an absurd dose of T.
Again always best to start low and go slow.
Much easier to titrate up slowly over time if need be.
If you decide to drop your weekly dose then you would be far better off injecting 100-120 mg T/week split into twice-weekly injections (50-60 mg every 3.5 days).
You will be clipping the extreme peak--->trough one would get when injecting once weekly and your blood levels will be more stable throughout the week.
Although some men will do well injecting once weekly the downfall for many is the big difference in peak--->trough as blood levels will not be as stable throughout the week which can have a negative impact on energy, mood, libido, erectile function, and recovery.
Rollercoaster type effect.
Again keep in mind when first starting therapy or tweaking a protocol (dose of T/injection frequency) hormones will be in FLUX during the weeks leading up until blood levels have stabilized (4-6 weeks TC/TE) and it is common for many to experience ups/downs during the transition as the body is trying to adjust.
Even then once blood levels have stabilized it will still take time (a few months) for the body to adapt to the new set-point and this is the critical time period when one needs to truly gauge how they feel overall regarding relief/improvement of low symptoms.
Every protocol needs to be given a fighting chance (12 weeks) to claim whether it was truly a success or failure.
Otherwise, you will be left in a constant state of confusion chasing your tail endlessly.
