I've tried pretty much every ester for trt. I've been on for 5 years. So far, test prop daily has felt the best with the least sides.
A bit of advice that's worked for me and my friends/family: when I started trt I was originally diagnosed by my pcp. I knew he had little experience with hormone therapy so I went to a clinic that was private. Very expensive but, they were knowledgeable and experienced.
We got everything dialed in at the private clinic with cyp. Then I went back to my pcp and he said he would be willing to administer the dialed in protocol. Now my doc visits and bloods are covered by insurance. The test cyp is not so I get it at Costco for $60 out of pocket.
To be honest though I've recently just been stockpiling the cyp and getting ugl prop bc daily prop feels so much better. Prop from a compounding pharmacy is a little out of my price range.
Long story short, daily prop has worked best for me so far. When I made the decision to go daily I just said to myself, if diabetics can inject multiple times day, in some cases, so can I.
I'd start with cyp though if that's what your doc recommends. Twice weekly at least to keep things stable. Then if you want, after you become more familiar with how your body responds, over a long period of time, try experimenting with other esters.
