    I started on a prescription AI but I am an over responder. Doc suggested DIM. Been on it almost 9 months and all blood work looking great. I stared on .5 ml per week and no AI and my E2 levels claimed to around 40.

    At .5ml a week, how important is an AI?

    What over the counter works? I picked up a product from GNC called DIM-plus (Diindolymethane) by Nature's Way. I can't find much on reviews except from women using it to control their monthly visitor or acne.

    Under my insurance it has been free for the scrip.

    search for 'testosterone cypionate ' in your desired dosage and quantity and your zip code

    It's not bad at all. Syringes and whatnot are cheap
    Wow! Not nearly as expensive as I'd imagined.

    yep, figured my math was off. 100mg is .5ml. So that is only .25ml per week. I am going to see what it makes my numbers next week and ask him if we can bump it up.

    I do .5 ml every 5 days and I don't need an AI. E2 sensitive stays about 30-40. Prepare for some skin problems when you start. The huge change in hormones is like going thru puberty again. Tanning bed once or twice in two weeks and alcohol rub down about every three days took care of mine. Don't have to do any of it anymore. Just keep it steady after that.

    Like others have said, do at least 1x per week with 2x per week being better. I do every other day.

    Depends on concentration. Mine is 200mg per ml so .5ml is 100mg.

    50mg a week would be right at .5ml a week also, right?

    Yea, that two week schedule is for the birds. That's a good way to feel like crap weekly. 100mg in two weeks is likely to do squat.

    As soon as he said every two weeks, I thought to myself, nope divide that shit up and do it once a week.

    I am picking it up in the morning and learn how to pop myself...or let my wife do it.
