Anyone experimented with short cycles?

[mrplunkey]

I do HRT (46 years old, physician supervised, ~ 200mg/week-10 days) but I notice that after a few months, it feels good to come off it for 2-3 weeks (sometimes longer). I'm definitely not 7 day a week / 52 week a year guy.

But that got me thinking. I enjoy the 3-4 week ramp - up when I start, and the 2-3 weeks when I'm completely off. Has anyone experimented with something like this:

Weeks 1-4: 250mg test @ 2 x week
Weeks 5-7: off

Rinse, repeat.

It flies in the face of the level hormone theory, but it does seem to give me more of what I like.

Thoughts?

you need to talk to nelson about this.. he is also HRT and is a big advocate of 'short cycles' as you say. he hasn't been on much lately so he might not chime in.

from what you are describing you are basically letting ur hormone levels tick down slowly during those 3 weeks which is giving your organs a break and letting the body catch up , so that might be why you are feeling better doing that
