[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 177033, member: 38109"] There are individual reactions to the various esters, carrier oils and preservatives, so it's not feasible to pin it down without further experimentation. Early on I convinced myself I was having trouble—itchy welts—caused by cypionate in cottonseed oil. Switching to enanthate is sesame oil seemed to solve the problem. But with more experience I'm less convinced about the apparent causality, as I still occasionally go through periods with similar injection site reactions. Now I know if I wait long enough the problem goes away. Not saying it necessarily will in your case, but it may be worth waiting if there's not a clearly dangerous reaction, e.g. anaphylactic. The dose is not wasted. It will be absorbed in time. Some theorize that the absorption is delayed, increasing the effective half-life. But I view this as speculative. Propionate is interesting because it can create a diurnal rhythm in serum testosterone, not because of higher testosterone content. The supposed advantage of higher testosterone content is typically negated—and then some—by the lower concentrations used when adding this ester to carrier oils. I've found that daily propionate provides greater serum testosterone variation than what's seen in normal men, which isn't necessarily a good thing. If you switch to daily cypionate then you'll be going to the opposite extreme: virtually unchanging testosterone. [/QUOTE]
