[QUOTE="FunkOdyssey, post: 234146, member: 44064"] My first few injections were small SC injections of cypionate (10-15 mg) and I reacted badly to them with a crazy acne breakout and severe reflux symptoms. I blamed this on the SC shot because the symptoms improved when I switched to shallow IM, which I continued to use until now (I've been on TRT about 3 months). However, I think the side effects from those first few shots may have happened anyway so it may have been unfair to blame SC. I've been having good luck with SC injections using propionate. I had trouble tolerating propionate IM because of the intensity of the peak. I think injecting it SC smooths that out quite a bit -- at least it feels that way to me. I was going to try a twice weekly protocol, but after my first 50 mg injection of cypionate I had two awful days of severe reflux symptoms. I might have just spiked my levels too high because I didn't allow any time to pass between my previous daily injections and the first large dose. It was discouraging enough that I decided to work on a daily propionate protocol instead. Hopefully it won't be a problem for you, but there's a recent thread on here about reflux where I lay out my theories of how I think TRT can worsen reflux and what can be done about it: [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/acid-reflux-and-gerd-treatement.5768/']Acid Reflux and GERD Treatement[/URL] [/QUOTE]
