This is for guys who’re using testosterone injections. If you haven’t used any steroids, I strongly recommend that you try the Proviron protocol before committing to TRT.
I’ve been on TRT for more than 2 years now. I’ve been using testosterone enanthate, but I’ve had a problem with stabilizing the condition. The condition would improve drastically now and then, and it would last for days or weeks before crashing hard - and this happened over and over again. My record was 3 weeks. I realized that it was a problem with estrogen dominance that caused this, so I began experimenting with more frequent I.M. injections to avoid heavy aromatization. It improved the condition somewhat, but it wasn’t until I changed the protocol to include testosterone propionate (ethyl oleate) S.C. injections that it really made a difference. I’ve been experimenting with low dose injections, once a day before bed - to mimic the natural rhythm as much as possible - and I can tell you it’s working. It’s not completely stable, but close.
My protocol
- Testosterone propionate (ethyl oleate), 10 mg once a day - injected subcutaneously in the thighs. Ethyl oleate, the oil, is almost as thin as water! The injection spot is gently massaged afterwards, to help with absorption. I’m injecting the thighs, because it seems as more blood is flowing down there. Injections on the stomach, would often leave painful lumps for a day or two. Testosterone oils are supposed to be injected intramuscular, but a Canadian study shows that low viscous oils may be injected subcutaneously as well.
- Andractim, it’s essential, and the protocol won’t work without it. I’ve been rubbing a small amount on my penis once a day, before bed - and it induces morning erections; the most important indicator of an optimal androgen/estrogen ratio. We’re dealing with estrogen dominance, and for some reason, the body isn’t converting enough testosterone to DHT. I don’t know why, but this study shows that estradiol (17beta-E) is a powerful 5AR Type 2 inhibitor, so it may be the explanation. There is no problem with the DHT = 3a-DIOL conversion! Clean the skin with an alcohol swab, and rub the gel until the skin is completely dry. It’s supposed to increase libido within a little while. If it feels like you’re impotent, you have overdosed. It’s very androgenic, so be careful with it around women!
- Cialis, I take one pill (2.5 mg) once a day. However, it may accumulate and cause side effects after a while. Pause the treatment for some days if that happens, and start over again. I usually need some days break every month. Brain fog and headache are side effects in my case. Cialis doesn’t work if your testosterone/estradiol ratio is bad, but it does increase the erection quality when it’s good - which suggest that we do have a problem with NO/cGMP deficiency.
- Dostinex. Prolactin increases along with the estradiol level. This increases the refraction period, and I’m using 0.25 mg to lower the prolactin level when my refraction period increases.
As you can see, the protocol works. I do have a problem with estrogen dominance. There isn’t a problem with the DHT = 3a-DIOL conversion.
