Since I am easily triggered for insomnia, I inject in the morning, IM on that muscle above the buttocks/side of the hips.

That's interesting. So even though you should inject less with propionate to get an equal amount of testosterone (compared to enanthate or cypionate), maybe you should inject more to even out the anabolic potential? By the way, I am now back to enanthate. EOD injections, IM, 100mg weekly. I...

Thanks for your reply, that's interesting. What does "less anabolic" mean exactly in this context?

Thanks for your reply man. It's 77mg per week, maybe I didn't make that clear enough. I was trying to find a dosage about equal to 100mg of enanthate, 77mg of propionate should be it. I felt fine on propionate actually, no big differences there. It's always hard for me to judge the subjective...

Thanks man! I started in november last year, so about 3 months in total.

This was a very interesting experiment. After struggling with high hematocrit on enanthate—despite changing injection frequency, switching between subq and IM, and adjusting my dosage—I decided to test daily injections of testosterone propionate. My theory was that a shorter-acting ester would...

I'm also on prop and have more trouble sleeping than I had when I was on enanthate. I do inject in the morning though, and noticed you inject in the evening. Does this generally help with insomnia?

I have heard muscle loss isn't much of a problem when you're on TRT. Peptides like CJC1295 and Ipamorelin might help for this as well. I'm on Tirzepatide 2.5mg for a couple of weeks now, what an amazing compound. I have noticed only mild nausea, not even real nausea, just a feeling of being...

If you inject daily, wouldn't it be better to go on a short acting ester like propionate?

I think the type of ester plays an important role here as well, right? I do daily IM propionate injections now, and this - I feel - seems to come closest to a natural ebb and flow of testosterone. If you have a long ester that will remain in your system for a long time anyway, like cypionate or...

What coincidence, me and my wife did too. We started with 1mg each 5 days, this is to lose just a moderate amount of weight. Let's see how it goes!

Alright, I am going to switch from testosterone enanthate to propionate. I heard the dosing should be different for the 2 esters. If I took 100mg total of enanthate per week (E.O.D. injections), how would that equate to a propionate dosis?

I had another idea; would switching to propionate make sense for me? Because it has a shorter ester - maybe less time to raise my HTC?

It would be interesting to know if high hematocrit is mainly considered bad because it generally points to other health problems, like sleep apnea, copd or other non-TRT related issues. Of course very high, like I had at one point, is bad. But what if it's slightly elevated, your blood looks...
