How many hours post injection was your blood draw? Curious if it was more/less than 24hrs.
Less than 24 hours. Here are the collection times.

I always do injections between 8:45-9:00am unless I'm traveling for work. Like madman said it is a fast ester but wow, it is really, really fast for me. I do feel pretty good, but I would like to get FT and DHT back up.
I have read that too. I didn't feel as though I had a lot of water retention on Cypionate, but my wedding ring is just a little more loose now. And I'm by no means muscular, but my arms look slightly more defined. So maybe there is some truth to that. Since the faster ester gets it in you quickly and then it's gone, maybe there is less time for aromatization and/or 5-ar. Whereas daily Cypionate keeps you at max levels up until you stop. So the testosterone is the same of course but the rate of delivery is quite different.
I have Total+Free T, E2, and DHT between daily Cypionate, daily Propionate, and bi-weekly Cypionate. It's not a direct compare because my Anastrozole dose was changed but will hopefully still be helpful.
Thanks, I suspected you may want a dose bump upward, I had read somewhere that mg/mg Cyp and Prop were very close in strength but you only changed by 2mg. Might want to try upwards of 25mg/Daily.
in 1-2 weeks at my next refill Ill be switching to Propionate @ 26mg/D, change from Cyp 28mg/D
Going through Empower, what is the price of Prop? I noticed a mention of a 100mg/10ml vial. So is the price comparable to Cyp or does it come out more expensive? I guess I'm trying to find out the ml to ml price comparison, basically. I know 2 - 200mg/5ml vials from Empower run for $75, so just trying to see if there's a difference in price.
You bring up a good point. It is less than what the T Cyp costs per vial, but since it's half the concentration you go through it twice as fast assuming the same dose. I don't have the receipt here but I want to say that a 10ml of Prop cost like 80% of what 2 5ml vials of T Cyp was. It was less expensive but definitely not half.
I was on T Cyp 20mg daily so that was 0.1ml per day because it is 200mg/ml and 10ml would last a little over 90 days. A 10ml of Prop is going to last half as long at 20mg daily because it's 0.2ml at a time. So the Prop does end up costing more.
i remember from old days when I used prop I could really feel when it peaked and overall felt more that im using testosterone.. the only downside was it was really hard to continue with that many shots per week.. i mean one thing is to poke yourself everyday for few months but to do it for whole life it's not that easy.. but definitely there is something special about short esters.
I'm looking forward to reading your updates.update on my Prop: placed my order and due to Empower not shipping to Missouri, I'll have to use Hallandale (again) but the bad part is hallandale only prepares their Prop @ 50mg/mL strength meaning I'm go to have to shoot .5mL of oil every day. And it costs more than Cyp.
I'm going to run 11 weeks on it and see how it goes, it could be the miracle cure, or I go back to Cyp.
