Trying to separate three different claims about testosterone propionate: that it is the right molecule, that it is the right dose, and that it does something useful. Forum consensus and published consensus diverged here about five years ago and never reconverged.
Read methods.
Reconstitution arithmetic is only half the problem. The other half is what was in the vial.
Stupid question: how do you know whether what is in the vial matches the label at all? Acne was my main issue with testosterone propionate too.
Cold storage, light protection, date on the vial. Boring, removes half the variables. Six weeks in on testosterone propionate and it lines up.
Is a baseline blood test really necessary before starting something like this?
Where does the human data stop and the extrapolation begin? That is the whole thread.

Three questions kill most of the confidence in a thread like this: sample size, blinding, who paid. Currently on testosterone propionate myself.
Log dose, time and sleep. Ten seconds a day and it turns the anecdote into something you can look at. Six weeks in on testosterone propionate and it lines up.
How long before you can reasonably say something is or is not doing anything?
Same here.
How long before you can reasonably say something is or is not doing anything?
Loose evidence and no evidence are different, and people overcorrect in both directions.
Underdosing and tolerance are indistinguishable from the inside, and everyone picks the flattering explanation.
