Dilemma: Stay with Testosterone enanthate or switch to Nebido

[sanipialo]

It started with 300 ng/dl and am now on a protocol of 110mg every 6 days. My current level is just shy of 1100 ng/dl and my endo wants me to switch to Nebido. This is 1000 mg of testosterone undecanoate every 8 to 12 weeks. Based on my blood results.

Nebido has the benefit of one big injection of 1000mg every 8 to 12 weeks. I asked the doctor for every 8 weeks and the doctor has agreed on this, but has to follow protocol for the first 2 injections.

The disadvantage will be its price. Currently it is costing me $13 a month. Switching to Nebido will cost me $86 a month. Staying with Test.E will save me $876 a year.

I don’t mind injecting once every 6 days or week, but Nebido seems to be more stable based on research papers. And has the major advantage of not having to worry about travel and taking it with me when flying and staying outside the country for more than a week. Something I do 1x to 2x a year.

What should I do? Is it worth the extra money to switch to Nebido?

Is the extra money worth it to you? I prefer cyp/enanthate just because I can make changes on the fly, but I don't have obligations that might make it inconvenient. Bigben is on nebido and loves it.

I really think it comes down to how each fits your lifestyle and needs.

I was thinking of doing the same. Stay on my weekly doses and when going on a vacation just take 500mg nebido (good for 3 to 3 weeks) and put the other 500mg in a sterile vial.

It takes me about 10 minute max to prepare, inject etc every 6 days. That is a maximum of 43 minutes a month. The difference is $76 and I do not make $76 every 43 minutes after taxes. That would be $106 an hour after taxes.

Not worth the $876 extra a year. But definitely worth it to do it 1x or 2x a year before a vacation.

Honestly, if it's only a week, you can just take twice your dose before you leave - or just inject when you get back. I'm a cheap bastard, so that's what I do.

How much longer than a week are you gone? How many days in total?

In most cases between the 10 and 20 days. In case of 10 days I can just upp my dosage to 180 mg so it lasts me 10 days. The first 2 days will be a bit high and the last 2 days a bit low, but it is manageable. But I think I will just get the Nebido and in cases that it is 14 days or longer I will just use the Nebido.
