Hi Guys,
My protocol is going pretty well. 75mg enanthate and 500iu HCG every 3.5 days . I do use an AI

My question is.... If I feel ok like this. Will raising my dose to 80mg improve how I feel?

Thank you

Geoff

More is not always better if you have good numbers, feel good, morning wood etc... I wouldn't mess with anything

It's completely understandable why you'd ask that, after feeling bad for so long and finally feeling good you think "if some is good, would more be better?". The answer is not always. You must learn that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

It's like a pimple, resist the urge to F with it.

How long have you been on this protocol.

What I have learned is that in order to figure out whether or not something will improve how you feel you have to try it

Geofftek · Oct 6, 2016

A bit over a year on the T dose. I changed from 150iu to 500iu hcg about 6 months ago. which helped.
I'm not suffering any issues other than my sense of well being at times. But not all the time.

I was actually hoping you would chime in Vince. I remember reading one of your posts ages ago, how you felt great on 75mg but fantastic on 80mg. I hope I haven't miss quoted

Vince · Oct 6, 2016

I'm on 100 mg of T and 500 iu of HCG twice a week now and I do feel great. I'm having labs on Monday.

Hey that great. Is exactly why I am wondering if I should bring it up with my doc. My levels are pretty good, about 840. Just feel like I could be better. E is also ok

Vince, if you don´t mind would you post your testo level after you have recieved your lab results. Didn't your dosage used to be 2 x 50mg per week reaching good testo levels? Just curious why you doubled the dosage.
I only use weekly 2 x 50mg and 2 x 500 iu and my testo is over 800.

I originally started at 70mg and 500 iu x 2 and my total T was over 800. I continued slowly increasing to 100mg and 500iu x 2, my present amount. I wanted to see if I could feel any difference. Even though the feeling is slight, I do enjoy the higher levels. I do plan on posting my new levels.

I would also like to add that I also feel better going from 2x a week to 3x a week injection protocol but I do have lower SHBG.

The same dose in two different guys will result in different levels. Also a different response. Everyone has different SHBG and individual estrogen and androgen receptor sensitivity.

Just because someone else raised their dose and had a better response doesn't mean you will.

Post your ACTUAL levels. Saying "e is also ok" doesn't tell anything. With a higher dose you will also be at a higher risk of side effects.

It depends on your blood work. But if you are feeling well, why change?

What is your hematocrit?

Geoff,

First off...post up your labs, so we can see your levels.

If you feel good, and everything else looks in line, then I'm a firm believer in: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Geofftek · Oct 8, 2016

Thank you for all the responses. I was lazy when I hadn't posted my labs

I'd leave things alone and enjoy the ride. You feel good, but don't have access to the appropriate blood test necessary to carefully balance estradiol. Leave things as they are.
