Switching pinning from 2x to once a week?

Hey guys.

Been on 140mg of test E / week for 3 years now

1 pin Monday 1 pin Thursday 70/70

I’m starting to get really sick of pinning and would like to switch to doing it once a week if at all possible. Originally my doc told me to do once a week anyway but I told him I was more comfortable with twice because I felt it would give me less spike/dip

Anyone have experience with switching from a twice a week protocol to once a week?

Will it have adverse effects?

Thanks
 
Hard to say if youll notice much difference. Its prob fine. But how difficult is it *really* to pin twice vs 1x per week?
 
Will he switch you to test sust? That’s a better compound for less stabbing.

you could get away with once a week buts it’s not optimal imo
 
Try an get a longer ester if possible. Some people can get away with once a week pins on e or c. But as you stated the dips will be more pronounced as will any sides. I know for a fact I personally could not do one weekly pin with e or c and feel good.

You'll just need to give it a try and pay close attention to how you feel along with how your bloodwork looks.

When I first began TRT and for a total of about 7 years I did once per week injections and always felt totally good with it, though I now choose to do twice per week (Mon/Thur like you).

If you're on 140 a week you could switch to 100mg every 5 days. This is still 20 mg a day and your doing every 5 days instead of 3 and a half.

In my experience with test e or c 5 days is the sweet spot and window for least injections while also feeling consistent. You can do the whole 140 once per week and the difference is negligible.
 
I have pinned once a week for years C&E no problems.

My first test cycle I did 300mg test e once per wk. It was always good for about 5 days, it was the last couple you could really feel the trough. Just to corroborate this, I bet e5d would still feel pretty good.
 
I’m with you with injections getting old real quick, I’m doing 200mg Cyp in 1 shot a week, I feel good throughout the week and don’t feel a dip. I think you’re good up to 200mg in 1 shot, more than that you should probably do more shots. Try it, worst thing that could happen is that you have to go back to 2 shots.
 
I doesn't bother me much at all.. I sometimes get a little melancholy at about day 10.
2 weeks would be fine on sust. for me.
 
Used to pin twice per week for years. Tired of being a pin cushion. See no difference on 200. When I blast I go twice
