If you're not, it's just like being very realistic about what to expect.

And you know, there is a dyslipidemia, there is an increase in blood viscosity to some extent, there will be a suppression of SHBG if you're doing injections infrequently.

Um,

which will elevate your androgenic signaling beyond what is physiologic like most people are supra at least transiently without knowing it and by that I mean by supra I mean like more than you would have produced physiologically because it's not physiologic to have your hormones transiently shoot to like

I don't know, 1,200 or 1,500 total T with a disproportionately high free testosterone from administering once or twice a week.

Twice a week is quite a bit better, but once a week, for example.

And then it crashing back down before you shoot again.

Like that's not physiologic really at all.

So you need to be aware that's going to cause more elevations in these like problematic biomarkers than would be if you tried to maintain what is reflective of like daily normal production.

So like the ideal protocol would be literally replacing your daily testicular output, which is.

adherence problematic for a lot of people because not everyone wants to be using like a scrotal application of cream twice a day.

A lot of people don't want to be injecting daily subcutaneously with like a micro amount of testosterone.

They just want to be one and done one shot a week.

Even some of the problem too is like the pharmacist

pharma has set it up so you might be forced to take it infrequently and at a high dose because they have these auto injector pens that are pre-loaded so you like have to shoot it in one shot or you don't take it yeah so like zyastat is like the pre-loaded testosterone and anthate pharma gray that is often prescribed and it's like well you gotta you either do the one shot one kill and take the whole dose or you like don't take it

It kind of I mean, it depends on the person because it would be personal, subjective opinion for me to say, like why I wouldn't want to do it in general.

The reason most people don't want to do it is adherence lifelong.

Like this is something you're going to do forever, typically.

Somebody going to apply a cream to their scrotum twice a day.

It's not that fun.
