Test E release Time

[Artyi]

UPDATED:

Blood test results:
E2 - 147pmol/l
Test: 1500ng/dl

Inject every 7days on monday morning.

PROBLEM: I think my testo is too high for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), but the main problem is that in my country the only shots you can get are 250mg/1ml.

QUESTION: As you understand I can't minimize the shot, so I need to inject it less frequently. How long you would suggest to make a break between injections? 9-10 days? But I'm afraid of these ups and downs as it last for 7.5 days?

PS: I can get Aromatase inhibitor (AI), but is there any purpose if I can't lower my dosage? Or I should take it anyway? What would be the scheme?

250mg is not enough bro... have you done this before? How many weeks you been running it?

Test E is long ester so it can take 4/5/6 weeks to kick in depending on the person but the amount you are running is very low if only 250mg/wk you need to double that at least

 

[MrMitcheyBoy]

250 mg twice a week and your good to go bro, like andro said takes 4-6 weeks to kick in full strength

I think Andro's thinking about cycling T, not testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). 250mg/week is fine for most people. I do 0.5ml E3D because it's easier (in delts, with tiny needle, half the injection volume = zero discomfort ever). I'm doing 210 mg weekly and I'm off the charts high - 47.3 (8.0-38.0). And I like it that way.

 

[Artyi]

I'm on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) from the 1st of January. Taking 1ml/250mg of Test E every 7 days.
On my middle cycle (I mean 5th day±) I took blood test 3 months ago and it showed 25 (10-35).
As my doctor told me that this is kinda low/normal being on TRT.
I took another blood test last week. Results coming soon, so will know what is happening actually at the this time... I will update that.

To be honest I was thinking by taking more of it. Maybe every 5 days, as really my testo is kinda low being on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), what you think? Anyway I have to wait for the new results.

BUT, my question was about the weekly injection test E release into the blood. I mean after you injection it, let's say 7am on monday, when it reaches a peak condition, when it starts to fall down. What is the peak day of the week. Maybe there is a graph, where it could be shown hourly?

Thanks!

 

[mlitt12345]

I believe the peak would be around 24 hrs after injection and the half life would be around 5 days from what I have read.

 

[theguy9129]

Im on and from I am expericing it seems the affects are usually at about 48hours when i started to feel it but after 4-6 weeks of use you really shouldnt feel any difference if you maintain a stable shot regimine.

 

[Artyi]

To be honest, I don't feel any difference already for a long time.

Just received my test results, so here it is:

E2 - 147 pmol/l
Testosterone (TTE) - 52.1 nmol/l or 1500 ng/dl

I'm still on 250mg/1ml of Test E every 7 days (Every early monday morning).
What are your suggestions/ideas?

 

[Schweddy]

I'd cut your dose. 250 is high. Your E2 is high. Try maybe 100mg E7D and rachet up from there if need be. Judging from your E2 and 1500 level you may not need more than that.

Did your doc prescribe 250 mg/week?

 

[BigFella]

I suggest moving to twice-weekly shots, plus a small amount of an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) - 2 x 0.25 tab per week. Both things will reduce your E2. As Scweddy says you could lower your T dose as well - the Aromatase inhibitor (AI) will raise your T by minimising the amount being converted to E2, and you're high enough, maybe too high, for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) purposes.

[Artyi]

The problem is that in my country the only shot I can get is 250mg.
I can get Aromatase inhibitor (AI), but what would be the solution with 250mg and AI?

Maybe I should try shooting every 9-10 days, then? Without AI?

Artyi, can you get more sterile needles? If so, you can break up that 1ml dose into 2 or 3 needles, and just keep them clean and capped until you need them. Your E2 is only 40 in US units, which isn't terribly high, but maybe a little. I would bet that just cutting your T dose down to .6 or .7 ml once a week would get both your T and E2 in pretty good shape. Just my $0.02.

What you mean is to incorporate the serum into the syringe and then change needles? It could be the problem. Doesn't it affect keeping test E in the syringe not the ampoule?
I understand that lowering the dosage E7D would be the best solution... Maybe, any other possible resolutions?

 

[Artyi]

Anyone familiar with Tamoxifen drug, which is anti gyno medicine lowering E?

Artyi, I have to apologise for not directly answering your question earlier. Like you I get 250mg in one dose. It comes in a fat, short syringe, with an 18g needle. (Ouch!) I use the 18g needles to halve the T into two 1ml skinny syringes, 0.5 ml in each, after warming the T so I can draw it easily. I then use one to inject, with a 25g needle, and I store the other, with a capped, sterile 25g needle for five days and inject the second 0.5ml then. (I've just moved to E5D from E3D as my levels were around 1500.)

I don't believe that storing the T for five days in an issue. Certainly the syringe it comes in is plastic, and that seems fine!

 

[BigFella]

It doesn't lower E. It lessens its effect in some areas:

Although tamoxifen acts against the effects of estrogen in breast tissue, it acts like estrogen in other tissue. This means that women who take tamoxifen may derive many of the beneficial effects of menopausal estrogen replacement therapy, such as a decreased risk of osteoporosis.​

Why don't you just use an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) as recommended by everyone here? AIs minimise the conversion of T to E (aromatization, the action of the aromatase enzyme on testosterone)in the first place.

That is OK, no worries. Now I understand, why I didn't get your idea. And the reason is because I get mine in an ampoule, not a syringe. So for me it would be breaking ampoule and splitting it into two syringes, which will be not accurate... Well, I have to find a solution for that somehow.
Anyone tried Sustanon, instead of Test E or Cyp? These last two are better choices, but maybe I can get Sustanon in lower doses (here in europe), I need to double check that. Still don't know how I will react to it as it has 4 different tests...

Well, just read about Tamoxifen, already know that I don't need it. Of course Aromatase inhibitor (AI) would be the best choice, but I'm not yet prescribed for it and it's really expensive.
As I understand the best solution for me would be being on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) by this scenario:
Monday - 125mg Test E
Tuesday - 0.25mg AI
Friday - 125mg Test E
Saturday - 0.25mg AI

Am I right?
