Switching from Cypionate to Propionate - Experience?

Hey guys -

Considering the switch from cypionate to propionate. I've been on cypionate for 6+ years and have had a good experience so far but notice more and more guys "raving" about their experience on prop. I'm already doing daily micro injections and have been for over a year. One consistent positive I hear on prop is less water retention. Looking for anyone who has switched over and what the experience is.

P.S. Save the "test is test" argument. I've tried several types of test and have different results with them all. I'm looking for actual experiences.
 
I have never seen anyone raving about prop for trt except one guy on youtube who just injected 50mg.

I actually don’t know of anyone on here who actually tried the switch and liked it.

I agree to a point that my memory fails me but I too can't think of one guy we have that raves about Prop. It totally makes sense from the half-life stand point when you're on daily shots.
I had a miserable time with it and do not recommend it. Or Enanthate, either.

Thank you Blackhawk for the link. After going through the responses, I see there are more guys who've had a negative experience than a positive, so I'm going skip out on the propionate.
 
I went from C to P. P gave me pip and lumps at injection site. Was doing P daily. Started getting headaches. Probably did 3 -4 weeks. Went back to C and now on E. Didn't notice a difference from C to E. Same schedule.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
