switching to injectables

[clb1]

I am currently on androgel 10 grams daily for about ten months. It has worked well raising my test from about 112 upto 785. But i dont like the mess and my skin breaking out all the time. I just wondered which test is better for injectables cyph ar enthanate and what dose and frequency should I suggest to my dr. He is not an authority on hrt but he is always willing to listen to suggestions. thx alot

well, you are getting approx. 70 grams every week with your daily 10 gr doses of androgel so if you were to take .35 cc of a 200 mg/ml dosed injectible you would get the same give or take how you are absorbing the gel vs. the injects but it will be close and on paper cyp or entanthate show very little difference in any way and in all my reads on this board ppl's opinion on the two either say the same...no difference or 50-50 one being better. I have only used cyp and have had good results with no sides thus far (7 months TRT).

with androgel you find your skin breaks out? Are there other sides to androgel that you have noticed clb1?

i'm just took my second shot of 200mg of cyp per week....dose yourself on how you feel between 150 and 200mg a week...nothing else to it..fountain youth....period.

You forgot the ester bound to the test takes up room

100mg test enanthate=70mg test without ester

100mg test cypionate= 69mg test without ester

cyp also has a slightly longer half life

I tried gel for a month - messy. You have to be very careful about not having contact with women or children. If you have a woman in your life, this isn't convenient. In the summer, I was always concerned about sweating off the gel when active. Personally, I like an injection over the daily regiment of gel.

if your doc listens then I would suggest doing cyp for awhile then after approx6 months switch to enth-- not much different but the change sometimes helps and will let you know which one you like best
also mentally helps knowing that you changes sometimes helps with workouts ect
