in all likelyhood overlapping the prop with the enanthate caused your problems, resulting in larger spikes in levels compared to when you were just running the prop. now that the sides are triggered it can take time for them to simmer down.
"kick-in" time is a bulletin board myth, has little to do wiith circulating blood levels, primariliy just time until people feel the surge in water weight or the cumulated anabolic effects become noticable to them. if kick-in time were real then how do you account for your rapid onset of sides?
Long esters like enanthate and cyp still produce large variations in blood levels, this is why injects of twice/wk or more, are recommended. For instance a user running 600/mg wk, injecting once per week, will have much larger variation in blood levels compared to injecting 300mg twice per week. Shorter esters like prop produce even greater variation in levels. So if you overlapped your initial enanthate injections with your prop shots during your transtiion, you created a much higher spike in levels than what you had prior to starting the enanthate. Because the long ester still surges a great deal of T into your system the first 24hrs after the shot. Think of it this way, if you had been running enanthate and then switched to prop, and for the first week, just added the prop on top of your enanthat injection, of course you would get a much larger spike in blood levels. What you did amounts to the same thing.
now I have never run the shorter esters but I have run HCG and experienced "surges" which in my experience result in greater sides. I have heard some say shorter esters will keep you dryer, some say they will not. however I can speculate that if they do keep you dryer it is probaby because there is some down time when ciculating levels fall low enough to have a drying out effect, whereas with the long esters there will be a longer duration which will not provide a drying out opportunity.
