[QUOTE="eyeheartny, post: 158892, member: 18882"] Interesting. I would have expected more differences in cyp vs prop just knowing how differently the esters behave and clearance time, etc. What motivated you to move to creams? Are you doing scrotal ones or arms/back? I started my TRT experience many years ago with Androgel. It failed to raise my levels much but helped with some subjective quality of life stuff. My doc at the time pulled me off of it and put me on cyp which I've been on ever since. Part of me wishes I'd stayed with it as I think chasing numbers is kind of a losing game. I may lower my dose for a bit and see how I do. I have had blood levels in the past that were considered optimal for both TT, FT, and E and I didn't feel great. Honestly I've never felt fantastic on injections, but testosterone helped return my libido and erection quality and that has been worth it. At the same time, I've gained a steady 20lbs and have looked "soft" the whole time, whether my E2 has been normal, normal-borderline-high, low, and crashed through the floor. I suspect it's something about the T itself and likely the ester as other guys have reported similar kinds of things. I went through a few years before getting on TRT where I had no nocturnal erections, low libido, and difficulty maintaining erections. I'm 38 now and don't want my sex life to decline or have roadblocks, so I'd have to see what the creams would mean for my wife and I. What cream are you going on? What's the application frequency and location? Any other thoughts on what I've mentioned? [/QUOTE]
