Thanks again oh Master Alchemist
so your saying that if one does a high dosage frontload that it will kick in a lot quicker? so instead of 8 weeks to kick in it would more likely be 2 weeks? which sounds logical of course.
you mentioned a dosage of 306mg dosed 4 times in the first week then each week after that only 320mg, 331mg, 338mg and so on.. am i right?
I'm assuming this is in the perfect world? as i cant even come close to measuring that accurate with a 3cc syringe? only in increments of 30mg
but you also say you like 600 to 800mg a week? I think ive got myself confused.. 600 to 800mg a week is a big difference to 320mg, 331mg, 338mg and so on..
am i right or have i just made a twat of myself??
Ok, the example I used was taking 400mg of EQ a week. the numbers your quoting is the amount that would be released from the depot for that week. I didn't bother taking in the ester wieght or anything else just the ramp up and ramp down of the build up in your body.
______Total _____actual ______%of dosage
______depot ____dosage _____released
Wks. _in body ___weekly ______from depot
1 ____400 ______102 ________25.48%
2 ____686 ______175 ________43.68%
3 ____890 ______227 ________56.69%
4 ___1036 ______264 ________65.99%
5 ___1140 ______291 ________72.63%
6 ___1215 ______310 ________77.38%
7 ___1268 ______323 ________80.77%
8 ___1306 ______333 ________83.19%
in the above if you take 400mg the first week then by the end of the first week you will have actually used 102 mg with 298mg still locked up in the depot. this is one of the reasons it takes EQ so long to start working. it isn't unitl week 6 that your actually getting a good dose of the stuff. That is because you have to have 1215mg in the depot to have enough of it decay to give 310mg of the hormone released to the body for use in a week. That is also why Ubiquitous is tell you to run it for 16 weeks, the first 6 nothing much is going on.
So if you want to frontload EQ you have two options, take 3 times your normal dosage the first week or double the dosage for the first two weeks. both would get your depot level up enough to allow 70-80% of your intended dosage to be released in a week.
all that info is approximate though, in the real world as you put it there is a 10 to 20% varance on a bunch of differnt factors. The method I used is not that accurate ether, doing it in logs would be better but its unnecessary give the margen of error.
So if you were going to do a run of EQ at 600mg and you wanted to frontload you would do something like this
1800mg EQ week one or
1200mg EQ weeks one and two
600mg EQ weeks one or two to week 12 to 16.
wait two weeks then start pct.
But that is only if your impatant, EQ is good for the long haul and there is nothing wrong with a nice long slow cycle IMO.
