[QUOTE="Jerajera, post: 241614, member: 40995"] Here's my report on my current 10mg/day AM subQ Test Prop protocol. About 3 weeks in now. [B]Lab results[/B]: 5 hours post injection, TT = 1000 ng/dL, FT = 17.5 ng/dL, E2 (sensitive) = 29 pg/mL. 24 hours post injections, TT = 600 ng/dL, FT = 9 ng/dL, E2 (sensitive) = 32 pg/mL. The drop in TT is about 40% and the drop in FT almost 50%, well beyond natural variation even in a healthy 20yo male. I'm also surprised E2 is that high with such low Free T, I don't like that ratio of T:E. I do remember that on 15mg/day IM Test Prop, my E2 climbed to 60pg/mL at trough despite reaching only 20ng/dL FT. Subjectively, my experience reflects that of [USER=39921]@bixt[/USER] for the most part. Libido is significantly higher than on Cyp but not as high as on 15mg/day IM Prop. I'm not sure whether it's due to dosage or/and administration route difference (IM vs subQ). Erection quality through the roof, teenage levels. Very strong morning wood and even through the night, painfully hard and sustained erections during sex. Sleep is horrible. I don't think I ever really reach deep sleep, at least I definitely don't feel that way. I do feel a crash in the afternoon that almost makes me want to take a nap. Mentally I feel a lot clearer than on Cypionate or the cream. I didn't include that above but my DHEA-S levels came back at 150 mcg/dL (range 60-440), up from a consistent drop to 80mcg/dL after I started TRT. That's a pretty big difference so it could indicate that Prop leads to less of a shutdown of neurosteroid production for me. Definitely more energy/drive than on Cypionate, I'm not completely anhedonic and lethargic. I even have moments where some of my pre-TRT ambition and desire to do things comes back. Much less water retention than on Cyp and the scrotal cream, but my FT levels are so much lower than on those other protocols it's hard to tell whether it's from that or the Prop's half-life. I'm significantly weaker in the gym, which is not surprising seeing how low my FT levels are, but I also have more energy and aggression. Overall it's a less intense version of my 15mg/day IM Prop experience in terms of mood, libido, aggression and gym performance, but I feel less wired for sure and more clear-minded. Of note, I have been having a slight headache on a daily basis. Nothing crazy but it's noticeable because I've never suffered from them in my life. Not sure whether it's a temporary thing or perhaps some mechanism of constant vasoconstriction/dilation because of the quick and significant changes in hormone levels. [/QUOTE]
