The Benefits of Weekly vs. Bi-Weekly Injections | The Edge at Pinnacle Point

[@Dlindo8892]

Majority of urologists and endocrinologists have no clue about how to prescribe testosterone replacement therapy. And the thing that sucks is that they don’t want to learn either.

[@Slickone-wk9mc]

Exactly thats what i found with mine. But its my only outlet for TRT

[@13Ambro]

For me - taking multiple injections per week was actually worse for hematocrit and estradiol. It’s not good, in my opinion, to have your hormones pegged all the time with no fluctuation as what happened with multiple injections. I like having a big spike and having a taper down - just feel better this way.

[@Deividas30234]

Hello, should I divide the days correctly, for example, I inject 0.25 ml on Monday and then on Thursday, then on Monday?

[@jordixboy]

0.25 ml is not a concentration, its a volume. How much mg of testosterone is in 0.25?

[@nickelliott9943]

​@jordixboy huh? He's taking a quarter mil twice a week. Pretty low dose though.

[@CJL36]

Something that is very misunderstood is that due to the 8 day half life of test-c, your highs are actually the same whether you inject once a week or split twice a week. However, the the valley remains much higher when injecting twice a week. Twice a week is far superior.

[@Lip_Gallagher]

Valley is higher and that is superior?

[@CJL36]

@@Lip_Gallagher Yes. The goal is to keep your peaks and valleys as close as your can.

[@69elchupacabra69]

you're as stupid as the guy on the video.

[@williamblankenship6501]

Personally, I take 200mg once per week. I get the psychological effects of the single dose, while the volume keeps me from experiencing "fade" before my next injection. My numbers on the nadir or trough is 1000

[@aizenor3063]

Ey I gotta question what is this fade? cause I take 200mg every other week, but I feel slow and depressed about like maybe four days after

[@williamblankenship6501]

@aizenor3063 you my friend are experiencing fade! The initial boost you feel is fading. That blows mind that a lot of doctors still prescribe one injection every two weeks! My doctor was doing the same thing to me, and he wouldn't increase my dose or frequency of injections, so I went to another doctor who actually understands and I take 200mg every seven days. Before I started testosterone, my number was only 300, and at 200mg every two weeks, it only went to 434. I begged that doctor and told him I still felt terrible, but he wouldn't increase my dose, so I told him to get lost and found a doctor that was up to date when it comes to understanding how to properly dose testosterone.

[@bmanscire]

Dude you have to get a new doctor. I don’t ever give advice on here cause it’s so personal but unless there is some medical condition you have, I don’t see any reason to do that. Have your levels checked at the end of the 4th week I bet you are drained You need to take it at least once per week. Some people inject everyday

[@trackboyjstyles]

I just started XYOSTED 100mg every 2 weeks. I've been on IM 200mg every 2 weeks for a year. Is XYOSTED better than cypionate?

[@rockroll7649]

I went from 300mg every 3 weeks to 200mg every 2 weeks to an increased dose of 150mg weekly. The weekly regimen is much better. I no longer have dips in energy, mood, or gym recovery when on the weekly dose.

[@EJ-ge4st]

So like .8ml of test cypionate weekly? What is your total test on the weekly?

[@jamie.777]

I am on 120mg cyponite weekly.....one shot in, we.shall see?

[@D.Driller]

There’s an individual factor that’s at play as well. I do 200/week with 1x im injection every Monday morning. I never had a problem with it, but also tried the 2x/week, and the daily with no noticeable difference in feeling or in lab results. So I went back to 1x a week. My little brother did 1x a week at 150mg but noticed distinct changes in behavior/feeling well, and energy waning the closer to the end of the week it got. For him 3x a week provides noticeable stability. He also has more negative reaction on his labs than I do even at the lower dose.

[@javierbautista9385]

I got super tired and moody one once a week. I felt deflated. I switched to split and i felt a lot better. Dont know why i get depressed on injection days

[@360cormier]

Been doing 1 injection per week and besides the peaks/valleys that i didnt mind I developed bad achne on my back/shoudlers/arms. Switching to a twice a week system in hopes that the achne side effect subsides.

[@houstonpromotion]

I have the same issue I’m thinking of doing it bi weekly to see if it helps with the acne

[@RichHandsome]

So..how’d go with twice a week?

[@360cormier]

@@RichHandsome it may be too early to tell but I haven't had any more outbreaks it's just the Acne that's present has not subsided yet either. I'm assuming it's just going to take a few weeks for the hormones to level out.

[@JesseBlum]

You know I'm on 200 mg a week and the fact that any doctor would say take one shot every 2 weeks is absurd and sadly people who just listen to their normal doctor apparently haven't done enough research. When I switched from doing an injection two times a week. I do a shot on Monday of 100 mg and then another hundred milligrams on Thursday and this really helps me from having highs and lows

[@MARSHALL740]

Are you a Dr?

​@MARSHALL740 are doctors always right?

[@jamessullivan167]

[@JesseBlum]

@MARSHALL740 you don't need to be a Dr yo understand a drugs half like lmao dumb azz haha. After 8 days half of the testosterone is out of you system. There for by the time you wait 14 days your right back to where you started. So therefore out of 30 days you getting maybe 14 days of benefit. That's way to much up and down for your body. But I am a nurse and I've been on it for 16 years now. So ya I know what I'm talking about.

[@arnoldjent5552]

You're right. Most test clinics are just cash grabs anyhow. The markup they put on that stuff is RIDICULOUS. If you like your 200 a week , then you would love sus 250 @ .57 every day. At 400 a week, most people (probably yourself included) don't have to worry about estrogen until it's time for pct. If you like the way you feel at 200 A week, you could just do .10 Subcu and reap the benefits of different peaking esters.

[@RedOakCrow]

I'm thinking about going back on TRT after two year absence and I'm still confused as hell about dosing frequency tbh. I went from semi-weekly Sustanon to daily and it nuked my libido, I'm wondering would it be different on Test Cyp though?

[@dwayne5864]

Very different. Sustanon has multiple esters that each last in your system for different lengths of time. It's not ideal for keeping your levels constant. Switch to a test with one ester then dial your shot frequency based around the half life of that ester. Test C is preferred, it has a half life of around 5 to 7 days. So a once a week shot will be fine for most people keeping their levels fairly constant. Increasing to two shots a week at half the dose is even better for maintaining constant levels. The more constant your levels are the better you will feel and the less chance of side effects. More frequent shots at a lower dose is always better. Good luck.

I'm 48, My total test level was 205 the first time and 240 the second. I have been prescribed test but I'm afraid to take it because I don't want to have a panic attack. Today I got it ready to take it but was to freaked out to go thru with it. I actually want to try it but I'm spooked that I'll have a bad reaction like some of the folks in the comments. I have had issues with panic in the past and was on clonazapam which I had a hard time getting off of. I had to ween off but that has been about 6 years since I come off that. I have learned to deal with anxiety for the most part but I still have it. Again I'd like to try it just to see how I feel. Would anyone recommend taking a very smalee dose ata first? I don't care if it doesn't so anything or if I don't feel it. In fact I'd rather not feel it. then I can at least know I won't be having a bad reaction. I really don't want to have to go to the hospital. Anyone have any suggestions and what would be the lowest dose you would recommend to try for the very first time just to see how I feel?

[@adrianmistaje]

You wont feel anything, in fact, testosterone takes 3 weeks to feel anything or 4 to 6 weeks to see full potential effects, therefore even with the full dosage of 100mg to 200mg a week you will still need to sit tight for 3 weeks until you feel some effects

Me myself. After going to trt. First two docs put on 250 mg T enathate per week.. and then a 2 weeks off. For me would make no sence. But after that since I chanced my to another doc. My dose to feel OK.. works for me. Is 0.3 ml of 75 mg every 3 days.... like Monday.. then Thursday.. and son on... We tried the same with 0.5 every 3 days. But I personally have a lot of androgen receptors.. that makes me more sensitive.. so wer on 0.3 ml every 3 days. Over time.. After a year.. instead of pushing the dose. I was put on pregnenolone 2 times a day and morning 20 mg dhea. And just feelt amazing After 2 weeks... and so on. Just keep your labs in. Check .. at Keats 2 to 3 times a years. Make sure you evaluation of all the thyroid markers . Etc.. and make sure you don't start with a high dose.. specially if you're not active enough.. and you above 12% body fat. I was very active.. and I my body fat is always inbetween 9% to 11%. Labs in Check and what you feel over time is important. And if your going to take the path .. make sure to get a doc you can speak freely.. and make sure he understands you.. and he tries to help you...and he runs another tests just to make sure your ok. All the best... for everyone.

[@CaneFu]

100mg every 2 weeks is w-a-a-a-a-y too low; at the end of that 2 weeks your testosterone levels are probably lower than before you started TRT. The minimum dose should be 100mg per week and higher if you want to gain some muscle. Honestly, your doctor has no idea what he is doing and I would recommend going to a hormone replacement specialist. My TRT clinic currently has me taking a 200mg infection once per week and I feel great on that. FYI, I'm 68 years old and still workout hard.

[@CaneFu]

@@Robert-wb8ok Your dose is NOT TRT, but it is a steroid cycle that you are self administering and you are putting yourself in danger of serious health problems such as blood clots. You need medical supervision which includes regular blood work. No legitimate doctor is prescribing 400mg of test per week to you which means you are buying that crap on the black market and have no idea what you are even injecting into your body.
