Is splitting your dose always going to be better?

[synonymous]

I had new labs (No answers in the thread yet) so I thought I would ask a broader question:

Rather than doing 250mg a week I was going to do 125mg X2 a week. Now with HCT a problem, and my high TT, I'm doing 125mg a week. Would it be more beneficial if that was split into 2 shots? Or is the 125mg a low enough dose that once is enough? Does splitting your dose always make you feel 'better'? Or are there those who feel better with a once a week shot?

Splitting youre dose into two shots per weeks spaced evenly apart will always be better. You achieve much more stable blood levels that way.

Yes, it is always best as Schredder states to get stable blood levels.

In regards to feeling better. Try starting off by using the best protocol, for example, do twice a week injections. Then once you have been on a protocol that looks good on paper for 4-6 weeks. asses how you feel, get labs done. Then if you are still not feeling good have your doctor asses what changes you need to make to the protocol as indicated by labs or your feedback.

Try not to switch things around too often!

how long were you on 250 mg/week for when you got those labs done in the other thread ?

Yes agreed, it was certainly the case for me as well as most blokes (250mg E7D with 1.5mg Adex ED had my e2 through the roof with nipple sensitivity and aggravated too tiny lumps to pea sized but 125mg E3.5D with .5mg adex MWF has my e2 in the sweet spot) . Although it may seem odd, the staff at IMT have said some people respond better when they have slight fluctuations in both Test and E2 levels throughout the week, of course only minor ones.

I would go for a maxiumum of E5D freqeuncy if using enanthate/cypionate estered test.

On 250mg per week for 5 years. 5000iu a week for 5 years.

Was told to add hcg. They give them out in 5000iu amps. I ended up splitting the does into 2. Hcg felt good for a while, now not so much. High E2. Getting that in check just now.

 

[STAUNCHED427]

Too much hCG.

What country you in bro?

Can we say "asses" on this forum?

What are you telling me man?
You were running 5000 i.u./a week of HCG for 5 years ?
5000 i.u. AMP would mean 5000 i.u. per ML
All you needed to do was get a half cc insulin syringe and take .10 CC (500 i.u.) for a low dose of HCG while on TRT....
U didn't have to empty the whole vial into your body.
U should have had a sterile multi dose vial to put the HCG in after you reconstituted so you can draw from it little by little.
It would have lasted 60 days in the fridge.

I'm in Japan. Not a lot as far as HRT happening here.

Yes, 5000iu a week. It wasn't until learning more on my own that I split the dose into 2...and wasn't until I found this forum that I figured 500iu x2 a week is enough. I'm going by what my doctors have said in the past. My first experience on hcg was me going into the hospital, waiting anywhere from 1 hour to 2 hours, in to see the doctor, a small conversation, then another 30 minutes before I got my injection. That was 5000iu per week and it was a pain to go get it. Switched doctors, his protocols were different. He had me on the same amount of hcg but added 125mg test 2x A MONTH. That had me up and down.

My current doctor is far more willing to go along with what I have to say. He's a urologist but treats some patients who have had testicular cancer. He was the first doctor to let me take home my injections. After about 6 months of him not noticing that insurance wasn't paying him for my take-home injections he asked me to come in for them or pay out of pocket if it's more convenient. It's been a tough ride trying to figure everything out and in a language that is not my native tongue.
