Questioning TRT protocol

[Youthful55guy]

I am not new to this community, but when I started getting testosterone from my urologist, I was mildly surprised when he started me off at 200 mg/EOW of Testosterone Cyp. I am used to running my own gear at 200mg twice a week.

The first ten days I feel fine, but the next four days up to my injection, I feel like absolute shit. Would it help with keeping my estradiol levels lower and my test levels more even if I switched up to two shots of 50mg per week, despite against the doc's orders?

Yes on both accounts; lower E2 and more stable T. Your doctor doesn't know $%!&. Every 2 weeks is a barbaric antiquated practice. Don't do it.

Another benefit is that with 0.25 mL dosing (assuming 200 mg/mL), you can drop down to a 28G insulin syringe (25G at most).

You might need to switch back to the doc's protocol a 2-3 weeks ahead of any scheduled testing so he/she the expected numbers. If you draw labs on your protocol, the numbers might be higher than expected and he might cut you back.

Probably just skip a weeks worth of shots (2) and pull BW on a Monday morning.
