Wanting to get on test

[Mogger1000]

I’m interested in learning more about testosterone, but I’m pretty confused about the different types. I’ve heard people mention “M-test” and regular testosterone, but I don’t really understand the difference. I also don’t know what the proper medical process is for getting testosterone, what someone would need to be tested for beforehand, or what the risks are. Where would be the safest place to start if I wanted to learn about this properly?

For a first cycle I'd do 500mg of test e for 8-12 weeks make sure to have proper pct on hand and get your blood work done there are plenty of good threads on here that explain it all in detail

I also don’t know what the proper medical process is for getting testosterone

No prescription needed (just like almost every other drug people use on this forum), it's usually prescribed for clinically low testosterone to get those males to a more healthy level.

but I’m pretty confused about the different types.

main types are: enanthate, cypionate, propionate, undecanoate
these are just esters which are chains of molecules attached to the testosterone controlling how long it takes to reach your bloodstream

the main difference in these esters is their half life, you should know what this is already
enanthate is around 4-5 days
cypionate is around 8 days
propionate is around 20 hours which we can round up to a day
undecanoate is absolute garbage so I'm not sure why you'd use this, it's usually in oral form and the half life is usually around 3 weeks.

Ideally you'd use an ester with a shorter half life to mimic your natural testosterone production which has peaks and troughs throughout the day. Propionate is most ideal but you need to be pinning every day.
Hope this helped
