So am I crazy for doing this, or do you agree with my logic? This question is a bit of a repost, but #1, I'm doing that in efforts to make the subject easier to follow & because #2, it fell on deaf ears in its first iteration. Later, I will link to the reference thread which includes pre-HRT blood & blood 9 troughs in.
I just went on HRT 11 weeks ago, and my Doc started me out at:
I posted up here, and everyone told me the AI was a very high dose & that I should strongly consider injecting my T 2x weekly instead of 1x as that will stabilize my peaks & troughs which will hopefully lower overall aromatization, as well; in turn, lowering my AI requirements. Although no one suggested lowering my HCG dose, I have read around here that we (men) can, both, down regulate to HCG therapy & that 500iu 2x weekly is at the top of the recommended dosage window. As I just started at almost 38 years-old, I'm thinking maxing out my dosages seems imprudent.
Point being, I have now received my second prescription (11th-20th weeks), and have personally lowered my consumption to the following schedule:
My question remains, as I asked in this long thread, do you think this is a poor decision on my part? LUCIUS, of whom reviewed my blood work, mentions there that he felt my Doc got pretty close on his first protocol. Do you all, LUCIUS included, feel I should just revert back to my Doc's originally prescribed protocol, or should I stick with this lower dosage schedule I have instituted & check blood in a month for the black & white?

- 200mg Test (cyp/enan) 1x weekly......... = 200mg weekly
- 500 iu HCG 2x weekly.......................... = 1000 iu weekly
- 1mg rimidex 2x weekly........................ = 2mg weekly
