EOD Injection Dose Advice Needed

[Jimstigator]

Hey fellas,

If you were instructed to take 100mg a week, utilizing EOD injection schedule, how would you do it? For what its worth, I am still dialing things in, so its not like I know that 100mg is the absolute dose I must hit every 7 days or I will dip under some number of total T. Just want to work within the Drs guidelines so the appropriate adjustments can be made down the road.

Over the course of 2 weeks, its actually only 7 shots when doing EOD. I have seen some guys will just do 25mg EOD, and in reality they are only getting 175mg per two weeks. Others do 28mg EOD which puts them right under 200 over the course of two weeks.

I could also do something like 25mg M/W/F/Su and just have a back to back sho Sunday and Monday.

Thoughts?

Thanks!
Jim

In bold, ... I wouldn't see that as a problem! But I am not on TRT.

Why EOD? Why not E3.5 days. I think twice a week is a pretty happy medium. I haven't noticed any drop or spike during the week with E3.5 days.

ya every 3.5 days is plenty. it might look better on paper to pin eod but in the long run it wont make a difference and you gotta remember that you're doing this FOREVER lol. that's a lot of pinning to do for the rest of your life. also makes it harder if you go away for a few days or something you gotta bring it with you and it just becomes a hassle.

I hear ya!! Just doing what I'm told for now. Not trying to name drop but my Dr is no hack, well known around the forums and respected. I spent the last month playing with everything and felt like an idiot on my last call when I couldent really explain why I didn't just follow the protocol. Need to stick to the Dr prescribed protocol for now until I get a baseline.

I don't mind pinning. And to the it's my entire life comment... Yeah. Haha. I get it and will adjust the frequency later in the treatment. Just too early to go off on my own when I spend so much to see this Dr.

Thanks for all the input! I am going to just run with 28mg EOD and test blood in a few weeks.

If anything, I am curious to get some bloods with this method, then some later with two a week pins.

Makes sense. I for one would be interested in what your whole protocol is if you're inclined to share it.

Protocol started at 140mg test cyp per week, spread over multiple shots. 250iu HCG, twice a week. AI as needed. Was on .25mg adex five days a week before starting TRT. Long story short, low dose Nolvadex alone got my T to over 900 for years, but it wouldn't stick when I got off, and play funny games with my estrogen levels. Oddly enough, the second I stopped the Nolva, that 1.25mg adex a week I had been taking for three years instantly crashed my E.

The above protocol brought my total t to over 1500 in under 2 weeks.. . I felt like dirt on it and for the sake of getting dialed in a little better, test was dropped to 100mg a week. Dropped the HCG for now as it was too hard to adjust for both.

Dr says, in his experience, for men who convert a lot of T to E, the lower dose, more frequent shots are key. I am not one to argue at this point, and don't mind pinning everything subq.
