If I were to donate blood last week, proceed with regular protocol of TRT injections, and then get my labs done this week. Could that effect my blood serum numbers?

In my mind, I’m thinking I have less blood in my system and using same dosage which will result in more potency in my blood with regards to labs.

Ah ok right on. Just got a pretty good spike in my labs (350+ pts) after lowering my dosage so I was curious if that was the culprit. Have my consult with the practitioner next week but figured I’d ask here as well.

Would you mind posting your email and answering some questions for me? I’ve got some that you are most qualified to answer that I’d prefer to ask off the board.

What are your thoughts on microdosing TRT vs taking one big injection once per week?

Something like 10-12mg test per day subcutaneous. 50mg HCG per day subq

I was reading up on it and seemed to make sense as it’s similar to what the body would produce in a healthy male. Also less estrogen spike.

You make up the volume quickly, mostly water. The red blood cells take time to get back up.

Due to half life more than 2 shots a week is pretty much waste of time. Nothing wrong with it but not needed

So no benefit to injecting 10mg of test everyday subq instead of taking 1 shot (70mg) intramuscular once per week?

The way it was described to me, daily keeps the fluctuations to a minimum. But 77 says the half life makes that unnecessary.

Unless you're taking Test Propionate or Test. suspension, which is highly unlikely, there's no reason to inject testosterone every day. Long esters like Test Cypionate and Enanthate are the most commonly prescribed forms of testoserone and the half life is 7-8 days so one shot a week is all you need.

Your half life of test cyp is 8 days, so even 2x per week is putting you at less than 25% drop max

Don’t believe me, plot it out using the steroid plotter calculator
