    Good to switch test?

    I was wondering if switching to test e would be a wise thing to do? Does your body get use to one test and would going to another test have any benefit?

    My Dr switched me from test E to Test C because of the puffy face sides i had developed.
    My understanding from the educational threads on this side is the only difference is the esters which allow the body to absord the test at different rates...between 7 (Test P)and 14 days (Test C) if memory serves. But the test is test.
    And i would avail yourself to the educational threads ...i downloaded and printed and highlighted them 2+ years ago when i began HRT cause you damned sure will not get the info from you GP or endo.

    I switched to e from c and I like it a lot better. I have fewer sides on e for some reason. Bloat went down, not having to take as much adex, bp went down and rbc's don't seem as high. Maybe my body is just now really getting used to the extra t though.

    side effects go down from e to c to p. the bloating is a main difference. Asked about switching from c to p today. because p dose is twice-three times a week it costs that much more. I decided to stay on c.

    this cost estimate is from a compounding pharmacy, primary pharmacy results may differ.
