    What days do you inject your test?

    I am switching from once a week to 2x a week. Just wondering what days people inject?

    Days don't really matter. Just spread it 3.5 days apart. For example, Monday morning and Thursday night.

    I inject Monday A.M. & Thursday P.M. It doesn't make a difference what days you inject, pick a day to start & inject again 3.5 days later.

    3.5 like the guys stated but in reality it does not have to be that specific. Every 3-4 days is just fine. It's ok to be a little early or late.

    I do Monday morning and Thursday morning - as said by Kelkel, it doesn't have to be exact to the hour, give it take, just try be as consistent as your routine allows.

    You're probably losing vascularity by not injecting exactly 3.5 days apart.

    I inject every 3 days. Works the best for me. (When I began I had lowish SHBG and it is recommended by some to do more frequent injections with low SHBG.)

    When I did 2x per week, the AM injection and then the PM was too hard to follow for some reason. Now I know at 8pm, and the alarm on my watch goes off, it is usually injection time. (1 day HCG , the next day Test E, the next nothing, repeat.)

    I usually follow a Monday and Thursday shot though I may have to add in a third weekly shot next cycle.

    Every damn morning I smear my damn topical all over my body.

    Your funny with this Austin~.

    Your body isn't that sensitive that it is going to make a difference between 3.5 and 4 days, or the time of each injection IE: 10 am to 10 am. This is with long esters, but the short esters need to be consistent to keep you blood level consistent or you will be all over the place.

    However, for me IMOP if running a healthy dose of Test E or C as your dominant running base then a small fluctuation in a day once in a while will not harm your over all effectiveness in the long run. I am using my prop as kicker. So I have plugged it in and out during a long cycle to get the benefits of the kick and renew/re-up my receptors as I might reach a small plateau. This is what I do. ...crazy mike

    Oh boy. Where do I begin?
    Let's see...

    I didn't try to get my thyroid treated before I went on TRT because I didn't know any better. I discovered this site months after I went on TRT. And, FYI, I have still have yet to have any medical professional tell me that treating one's thyroid can help one's hypogonadism. However, there are many on this site and other sites that believe that hypothyroidism can cause Low T. I am unsure who is correct. However, if I could go back to square one I would treat my thyroid first. If that didn't work I would then attempt a restart. If that didn't work I would go on TRT.

    Next...

    You stated that I am very firm in my opinion that a getting T3/T4 levels into a healthy range frees T.
    Well sir you are mistaken.
    What I was firm about was that T3/T4 do not bind to testosterone thus treating hypothyroidism will not cause muscle wasting.
    Please reread the thread in which our discussion took place.

    Also, just for fun, when when wants to abbreviate "I am" the correct spelling is "I'm" not "im".
    The only reason I bring it up is that you have attacked others for their spelling mistakes and I am just trying to point out to you that we all make mistakes. (Except Kel Kel of course. That dude is way too jacked to make mistakes.)

    didnt bother reading it bc i can tell from the first sentence your reply is mean spirited.
    seems you don't like when people disagree with you, like when i told you that you were wrong about hcg suppressing lh....not going to entertain your ignorance.

    You are confusing me with someone else. You and I have never discussed HCG suppressing LH.

    You are correct that we had that debate. I forgot about it.

    I still will stick to my statement that HCG suppresses LH. (That is why it is recommended to take HCG during a cycle but not during PCT.)
    The reason your LH wasn't suppressed is that you took your bloodwork after the HCG had cleared your system. If you took your bloodwork while using HCG you would have shown suppressed LH.

    Now that I have admitted that I was mistaken about having this HCG debate with you can you admit that you were mistaken saying that I claimed that thyroid meds would increase free T?

    idk im still confused on your stance. maybe you dont think it frees t, but are you saying it doesnt bind it up as well the woman on the forum claims her shbg rose sky high and now she has to get her total t to 900 to get free t to 5

    idk if i agree about the hcg though..i dont think 1.5 weeks ie=s enough for it all to clear and for the neg feedback loop to kick in..plus my lh went UP to 6.8....but i hope to use hcg in the future and get blood work while im using it.
    if hcg can keep my levels up and not suppress my lh, id rather use that than clomid...then again clomid is realllly cheap.
