Results after changing from injecting every 3.5 days to every other day with bloodwork

TRT story

I posted 76 days ago asking about switching from injecting every 3.5 days to every other day staying at 180mg test cyp per week.

My main issue was back acne that wouldn’t (still won’t) go away. I also noticed anything cardio related became more difficult and I feel as if I lost the ability to push endurance/CrossFit workouts without feeling like I can’t catch my breath.

My levels at 180mg (measured at trough) split every 3.5 days were as follows. Total T 834ng/dL; Free T 23.6ng/dL; E2 46.1pg/mL; Hematocrit 42.5%; RBC 4.88M/uL

My updated levels at 180mg (measured at trough) injecting every other day are as follows. Total T 1069.4ng/dL; Free T 30.24ng/dL; E2 37.0pg/mL; Hematocrit 50.2%; RBC 5.56 x10E6/uL.

My Total T and Free T both increased while my E2 decreased. I may lower to 160mg per week still split every other day to see if I can get my total down to 900-1000 range to see if that helps with acne/shortness of breath issues while doing cardiovascular work.
