[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 149090, member: 38109"] I'm increasingly pessimistic about the possibility of achieving anything approaching a normal diurnal variation in serum testosterone with the esters we have available. Even daily propionate probably ends up yielding [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/my-daily-testosterone-propionate-diary.11035/post-148972']pretty flat levels[/URL]. [Edit: My own subsequent use of testosterone propionate contradicts this. I found that excessive diurnal variation was possible, and that mixing with a longer ester allows for tuning the size of daily variation in serum testosterone.] One alternative is topical testosterone. But absorption can be quite variable and you can get higher DHT and estradiol relative to injections. Another alternative is straight testosterone, either in oil or as a suspension in water. But this also has issues: greater PIP, difficult to obtain legally in the U.S., possibly too short of a half-life, and may also result in higher aromatization when injected subcutaneously. [/QUOTE]
