Cipionate vs Natesto

[Smokin Joe]

I was wondering about switching to Natesto from Cipionate as I just found it was on the insurance formulary.
Looking for more out of trt.
Has anyone had better results from switching to Natesto?

Though not exactly what you're asking, @Willyt has a nice writeup on his experience with Natesto:

My pre-workout Natesto experiment - Embrace your natural trough!

What if you could enjoy the benefits of exogenous testosterone - even if on a limited basis - while minimizing many of the usual side effects? I was determined to find out through a very unscientific experiment with Natesto, a short-acting nasal testosterone gel discussed numerous times on...

@stx359 describes his experience, but he was on hCG at the time, which prevented HPTA activation:

Natesto Trial Complete - Back to Injections

I am just finishing my fourth month of Natesto therapy and am calling the experiment complete. I am going back to injections. My goal was to see if I could restart my HPTA which was a common occurrence in the extended clinical trials but my FSH and LH are still unreadable. I would give it...

@Fortunate has a good thread here:

Official Natesto Thread

Welcome to the Natesto thread. I have used Natesto on an off for several years, but it seems to be one of the less popular TRT options here. That said, I have seen a few readers mention it, and I thought it would be good to start a dedicated thread on Natesto where people can share their...

Thanks for the reply.
After reading their experiences I don't think I'll go down that road!

If anything I would think that you will find more men who have tried Natesto only and even then it would be far from common.

Most men on trt use injections or transdermal (gel/cream).

I would not put too much weight on a handful of experiences as some of these same individuals are not applying Natesto 2-3 times daily which would be needed when used as a monotherapy.

Even then the only way you will know is to give it a go!

It may very well turn out to be worth your time.

My overall experience has been positive. It’s inconvenient, but it’s less likely to cause problems than other forms of TRT. Anecdotally, I have heard of some people alleviating depression by using Natesto alone.
