you're allergic to the oil it's in lol. if you're on testosterone cypionate, you'll likely be switched to testosterone enanthate. idk abt e

no thankfully it hasn't happened to me, but i'm a big planner when i'm nervous, and i was nervous as hell before starting t, so it came up in the reddit posts i came across.idk abt the rate of its commonness, but it happens regularly enough for multiple people to talk abt it. my dr didn't warn me abt it before i started t either,so it wasn't just you. maybe they assume that people generally understand that's an allergic reaction and willbring it up? a flawed assumption but understandable

they from what i can tell in the US if you're doing shots p much always start you on cypionate and switch to enanthate if you have a reaction.

yeah i do know that this is the case because cypionate is objectively better in most cases than enanthate (cypionate has thinner oils so injection is easier and it has a longer half life) but fuck ig im allergic to the seed oil. i’m assuming it’s cottonseed because im not allergic to grapes or sesame, or really anything else for that matter except the androgel i used to be on. thank you for telling me this though 😭🙏
