I thought Teutonic did, at least I swear his sig said that. As I treat prop like the plague, I'll bow out of this thread with that said.
Get back in here...LOL... why avoid it like the plague.. Im interested to hear your theory.
He's on TRT and will be for life. Why would he want to pin EOD or ED for the rest of his life? 2x/wk gets old imagine 3-4x/wk?! Lol

Yes agree, For TRT... no way.. but for a cycle it is not so bad.
As i stated it would literally be a pain in the ass pinning it ED, or EOD....
Where is OP going with this thread????...LOL...

I like turtles.
What Dre said and I tend to get some nasty pip from prop. Any other ester and I'm fine, but that prop gets me for some reason.

Ahhhh yes the pip... Like you have been kicked in the butt by a horse
If only that was unavoidable with prop.... Im sure you understand how my quad is feeling This, and the fact that you have to pin EOD is the downfalls.
On the up side i like the high peaks, and the fact that it is in and out of your system quite quickly, which just contradicts my downfall of having to pin EOD.

Yeah, if it didn't cripple me - I'd definitely use it more often. I dig the acetate ester, which is supposed to hurt more - but oddly does nothing to me pip-wise. I'm sure that quad is going to be sore for a few days, that's for sure! Hitting those nerves is something you never forget! LOL

I use prop for a kickstart and a finisher. It gets me to pct a little quicker! I'm using TNE for a pwo and that shit hurts! Quads suck, I walk like I gotta shitty diaper . Lol
My clinic switched me from Cyp to Prop when it became apparent that I was having a reaction to the Cyp ester. Bloating decreased to nil very quickly after the switch.
Before making the switch, I read many statements like those mentioned here... how Propionate causes pain, frequent injections are harmful, etc. My experience with Test Prop has been great. I pin every day, 30 units in an insulin syringe with a 3/4" by 29 ga needle. I rotate quads and delts, and never experience any pain or soreness at the injection site.
I do not miss the harpoons I had to use with the Cypionate.
I'm also on Sermorelin with ghrp-2 and ghrp-6, HCG, and .05 Anastrozole 3X per week. Bloods every 6 weeks.
I've been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for just 4 months, and I feel like a million bucks... I'm 53, my waist has gone from 36" to 32", and while my weight has gone up about 10lbs, it's clearly a gain in lean muscle mass. I go to Crossfit 3-4 times a week, and set new PR's regularly. I was benching 287 lbs in my twenties, and at this rate I'll hit that again someday soon.
All in all, I'd say, ask your doc's advice. FWIW, all the doc's I've spoken to at my clinic who are also on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) use Propionate. What would you infer from that?

Sounds like you had unmanaged estradiol problems while on test cyp. What was your estradiol level at?

Why do yo beat me to everything? Man, I need to pay more attention.
29 after first 6 weeks, while running Anastrozole .5 once a week, while still on Cyp. Switched to Prop, reduced Anastrozole to .05 daily, most recent bloods showed Estradiol at 13.6. Docs would like to see Estradiol levels a little higher now, actually, so my Aromatase inhibitor (AI) has been reduced to .05 3X per week.
I feel like we're gradually dialing in to a sweet spot.
Back to topic, I'm still liking daily propionate.

14 is too low for E2. Most guys find that being between 20-40 works best.

20-40 pg/ml ?
That's what the docs said, they'd like to see me in the low 20's, and why they cut my Aromatase inhibitor (AI) from .05 ed to .05 3X per week. Test and adjust, right? I love the results.
Bloods are going to be my new hobby.
No hijack of your thread intended, APOLLON.

Longer esters are more suitable for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) treatment, Testosterone undecanoate/Trademark Nebido which is available mainly in Europe is the longest ester at the moment.
In the future, I would imagine some sort of pump that will mimic the circadian rhythm to be available. Personal speculation...
To stay on topic, testosterone propionate does work for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) however there is no benefit to using it as injection rate will be more frequent and cost.
Testosterone in the end is testosterone, the ester attached is cleaved off and the base hormone of testosterone is going to be the exact same regardless of the ester that is attached to it. The ester serves as a time-release function, that is all.
