From time to time people seem to be interested about Nebido, how fast you can feel the effects etc. I now have had two injections and since I have some blood work available I thought I would share them to you who are interested. I was able to find some studies of undecanoate and based on them it should reach its peak around 10 days after the injection. Based on my experience it does.
18 days after the first injection:
- TT 30 nmol/l (10-38)
- FreeT 589 pmol/l (200-500)
- SHBG 17 (10-57)
- E2 0,16 nmol/l (<0,15) on Anastrozole 0,25mg e3d
Loading injection six weeks after the first one, blood work 11 days after:
- TT 47 nmol/l (10-38)
- FreeT 937 pmol/l (200-500)
- SHBG 16 (10-15)
- E2 0,19 nmol/l (<0,15) on Anastrozole 0,25mg eod (+ zinc 40mg / day, been on it for a month)
I think in my case the loading shot came too fast, even though it is a standard protocol. Next one is scheduled in eight weeks and the bloods will be drawn just before it. The final injection frequency will be decided based on those values. Though I might delay the injection a week or two, because it might be too early again. Splitting the coming injections in four is also under my consideration. I guess this all in all would be easier if I just would learn to inject myself. It could help to control the whole thing better and saves a few bucks too.
As you can see, I'm converting much E2 and I can tell you it's frustrating to adjust. Now I'm standing at two days after the last blood work and balancing around 0,5mg eod / 0,5mg ed. I also noticed that a quick front load results good if you're high already. Upped the dose once with a 1mg and then continued with a 0,5mg. E2 recheck in a week. Costs a bit, but helps to get on track.
So, I've now found myself to be in a situation what I've been reading about - E2 is tricky to control. I've reached the sweet spots occasionally, but these peaks seem to surprise me. When I'm in the sweet spot, it's all good. When I'm not, nothing is good. It makes the biggest difference of how I feel.
Recognising being high or low is also a pain in the ass. I guess I should crash it once to understand better :rolleyes:
