HRT Test E: can I get away with weekly shots instead of e3d?

[Charlie6]

Title pretty much asks it: if i'm on hrt doing 125mg/wk test e , can i shoot it weekly instead of e3d? Will this result in huge, noticeable fluctuations?

thanks

Weekly would be fine for HRT.

it's an individual thing. you might be fine on weekly shots. the best thing to do is start off on weekly and go from there. no sense in shooting more often if you don't have to.

I think most guys go with weekly. I only feel a drop if i go 2 weeks.

I know a lot of guys that are supposed to inject every 14 days with test CYP which is very similar. I think once a week is fine for HRT. If your on a cycle, then every 3.5 days will keep your blood levels more stable. Im on cycle right now, but Ill be dropping down to my HRT dose very soon, and Ill start injecting once a week when I do it.

Some go once every 10 days ( for HRT).. or 14 as stated above ..

Cool, thanks for the replies.

Also, if I change my dose slightly, how long should I wait to get new bloodwork done? I know its the enanthate ester, but should I want longer than two weeks?

Also, is it sufficient to only get free/total test & estriadiol tests done? I'm in college and tryin' to keep the expenses down

thanks again

the half-life of TC or TE is 5-8 days so weekly shots should work well for you.

i'm 42 so i have more issues with T:E conversion so i split my shots (monday morning/thursday evening) and that works well for me.

Free T is more important than Total T but you can check both. E2 is vital and SHBG should be included.

I split during the week, normally 4 days between shots. Sometimes more sometimes less. The weekly shots I felt a drop by then end of the week, this way I can adjust a hair here and there to suit me.
