Once Weekly Injections?

[jth0524]

I know this is going against the grain a bit, but I’m curious. Is there anyone out there who has tried both once weekly injections as well as multiple smaller injections per week and felt better on once weekly injections? If you have tried both and like once weekly better, can you explain why? Thanks

I tried once weekly injections and because my SHBG was mid range it just didn't work well for me. I would inject on Monday AM and felt real good Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. But as the injection wore off I felt worse and worse. Friday I felt just "okay" but Saturday and Sunday I felt like I did before starting TRT.

Once weekly injections work well in two situations. One, if you have high SHBG it is going to give you the best chance at success with TRT. Two, you just don't want to inject more than once a week and you are willing to live with feeling crappy a couple days of the week like I mentioned in the first paragraph.

I now inject E3.5D, Monday AM and Thursday PM. However, I am considering going to an ED protocol.

So for me, I did not feel better on once weekly injections.

I have gone from 3,5 to 1 x week because I don´t have time and dedication enough. So far I don´t feel anything different but haven´t done any labs yet. I will go on like this for some time and if my labs are ok I´ll consider staying on this protocol. My SHBG was in june 30,45 nmol/L

I know Vince has a friend that loves once weekly and is doing very well, he says. As Mark said SHBG dictates for every guy the injection frequency that should be good, for him. I was on weekly years ago when I started and I was "OK" for Tues and Wed but by Thurs I was on the downward trend and just trying to get thru Sat/Sun/Mon to get my next shot. It was a wild up/down through the week.

I actually have a friend that injects once every two weeks and feels good on that protocol. I bet though if he injected more often he would feel even better. But whatever works for you I would go with it.

My concern is that maybe my Hema etc,, will raise but that I´ll only know after next blood work and if that the case I´ll go back to 2xweek
