Increasing your injection frequency clips the peak--->trough let alone keeps blood levels more stable throughout the week.
TE/TC are basically interchangeable and the half-life of TC is not 8 days.
TE: 7-carbon aliphatic ester side-chain
TC: 8-carbon aliphatic ester side-chain
You can easily get away with injecting TE once weekly.
Would be more concerned with the dose of T you are injecting as you would need to make sure you are still achieving a high enough trough FT come weeks end.
Need to get lab work done to truly see where said protocol (dose T/injection frequency) has your trough TT, FT, and estradiol.
Good Morning, When I started I read various things about the half-lives of TCyp and TEnan. 7 days. 10 days. One has a 1 day longer half life because of the longer ester. I am aware that half-lives of all medications vary depending upon the patient. But a good estimate has clinical value for...

I would not fret over whether one uses enanthate vs cypionate as they are basically interchangeable.
Regardless of the minor differences in the esters between the two, there are many other factors that affect the rate at which testosterone is released from the oily depot at the injection site.
Sub-q vs IM, the volume of injection, injection depth, site of injection, lymphatic flow, and the concentration of BOH (benzyl alcohol) is other possible factors that can affect absorption rates of the esterified hormone.
As far as testosterone esters 100 mg of enanthate= 72 mg active testosterone and 100 mg cypionate= 70 mg active testosterone.
If anything I would be far more concerned with your protocol (dose T/injection frequency)/SHBG level and where such has your trough FT levels!
Top it all off that you should be using/relying upon the most accurate assays TT (LC/MS-MS) and FT using the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration (next best).
Am I confused about Enanthate being a faster acting ester than Cyp? Like in the middle between Prop and Cyp which I had a bad experience with (My daily Testosterone Propionate diary) Seems like I have it stuck in my head with Test-E being more about ~48hrs but I can't seem to find that info...
