Good luck! I use test u now which has a half life of 4-6 weeks, give or take. Super stable when pinned 1x week. On 125mg test u, I still need 25mg aromasin ed.
On test cyp pinned 2x week, it was a Rollercoaster, the ai dose I need the day I pin is not the same as 3 days post pin, id go from high e to low e inbetween pins and probably needed to dose ai something like 25mg pin day, 12.5 next day, 6.25 day after. Never got it squared away.
I have pinned test cyp eod and had less ups and downs, so for me, ed pinning of test cyp would be required but I'd still need an ai. I dont really want to pin ed plus I go on vacation at least once a year and am self prescribed, so I can't exactly bring test with me on a plane. Thats why I switched to test u, that and I thought I'd be able to discontinue an ai. My fear is I'll lose my test u source as very few labs are brewing it and getting aveed prescribed by a dr and pinned 1x a week isn't going to happen.
Some of us are destined to be on an ai. In all honesty, I think I had estrogen issues before I ever used testosterone and heard of guys needing an ai who are natural.
in my experience conversion has to do with dose. while that is to some degree individual using a small amount will result in less. i am a lil puffier on 20 then 10. the thing is you need to do that small dose ed.
just load up a bunch of slin pins at once, that way you just take a pre loaded pin and jab. takes less then one minute to clean the area, jab and be done.
taking pre loads on a plane is no big deal either.
