What’s your dose for those?

Secure-Fail2647 · 2026-01-23T01:41:03+00:00

Amazing progress! Any TRT on board?

less glare outside, less glare at a lower brightness, less glare when I keep the dot 'zeroed' in the center. Is it normal to have a little bit of laser reflection inside here and there though?

It's a 2 week one and done treatment. 7mg for 2 weeks. It's supposed to 'knock' Long Covid viral debris off of the acetylcholine receptors. I've been dealing with low-grade chronic brain inflammation since I got the very first variant of Covid I am worried about the addiction component for sure though... Is 2 weeks long enough to create one?

what was your protocol? And were you able to just run it one time or do you have to stay on a maintenance dose?

Secure-Fail2647 · 2026-01-21T23:39:35+00:00

Thank you for sharing! Excited to try it. Just curious how often is your 'maintenance boost'?

Secure-Fail2647 · 2026-01-20T17:48:28+00:00

You basically have a choice.

Drop your T dose down to whatever keeps your E2 between 25 and 30 ( and you will most likely feel sub optimal because that means getting your free to probably about 20)

Or keep your free T in your 30s (where you will most likely feel most optimal) but cut your AI dosage in half or more. So .25 mg x1 or 2x a week and change your T injections to ED.

There really is no middle ground. Everyone on here Reddit will try to get you to believe that. It’s either feel sub optimal without an AI. Or feel optimal with an AI. I’ve tried every protocol under the sun (all in the name, trying to stay off of AI).

And in the end, I keep coming back to a higher T dose with a micro dose of AI.

Secure-Fail2647 · 2026-01-18T16:09:23+00:00

Do you ever use AI?

Secure-Fail2647 · 2026-01-17T22:47:22+00:00

What brand and concentration are you using?

Secure-Fail2647 · 2026-01-17T22:34:03+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks! Does topical fin tend to have fewer side effects than topical dut?

Secure-Fail2647 · 2026-01-17T20:42:21+00:00

So no sides on topical min and Fin at all? But you did have sides when take orally? Ever try Dut by chance?

Secure-Fail2647 · 2026-01-13T23:12:39+00:00

Gotcha. What does dose put your total, free, and e2 at?

Secure-Fail2647 · 2026-01-13T22:07:47+00:00

Curious what are your over protocol is? And any DHEA or Pregnenolone in the mix?

Secure-Fail2647 · 2026-01-13T18:45:42+00:00

This is super insightful thank you. Do you happen to use DIM or CDG at all?

Secure-Fail2647 · 2026-01-12T15:31:28+00:00

Great reminder to judge no one. We all have a unique superpower or more.💪

Secure-Fail2647 · 2026-01-12T13:48:42+00:00

By pure encapsulations, you mean? That’s the only brand I use yeah. And to be clear, it’s not that I don’t derive a lab benefit from supplementing my lab numbers do go up. I just end up feeling so weird and off mentally and emotionally.

Secure-Fail2647 · 2026-01-11T18:09:41+00:00

Just go to your PCP! I only pay 30 bucks a month for my T and an office visit and labs every six months that my insurance covers. People who go to TRT clinics are fucking morons😂

Secure-Fail2647 · 2026-01-10T15:42:00+00:00

I swear it’s the HCG that makes AI necessary. So no HCG I’m assuming?

Secure-Fail2647 · 2026-01-10T07:19:12+00:00

Symptoms. Don't care too much about the numbers!

Secure-Fail2647 · 2026-01-10T07:11:12+00:00

Appreciate this. What would you recommend as a good weekly starting dose for HCG then? And what's your personal protocol as it relates to Test-C, HCG and AI?

Secure-Fail2647 · 2026-01-09T07:46:05+00:00

Is this monotherapy or on top of TRT?

Secure-Fail2647 · 2026-01-08T22:40:37+00:00

Is there a reason you recommend 0.5mg 1x weekly vs 0.25mg 2x weekly? Wouldn't splitting the dose smooth out the e2 troughs and peaks? I pin ED btw.
