  1. Self injection site preferences?

    I wouldn't worry yet. I think the guy who communicated with me was only talking about his own site's products -- not generally. Plus, while he made it sound like their needles couldn't be changed, it is possible that he was just trying to discourage the practice of changing the needles, if...

  2. Self injection site preferences?

    First injection is history. Quad site worked great for me - easy and no discomfort at all.

  3. Self injection site preferences?

    That is way I'm going, for now at least. I ordered a good supply of 23 gauge online this morning, and finally found a handful of 23 gauge syringes locally, so I will have something to use until the internet order arrives. Had to go to four different places before anybody had some.

  4. Self injection site preferences?

    OK, feeling stupid now. Tried to get a couple of syringes at my local pharmacy today, but turns out that they gave me the wrong stuff, so I have to start over. Also, looked into getting supplies online today, but the place I found told me 1) their syringes only fit their needles, and 2) even...

  5. Self injection site preferences?

    I'm definitely considering the lower, more frequent dosing, once the doc is finished with the blood testing/dose adjustment phase.

  6. Self injection site preferences?

    Although I'm still waiting for the syringes, a 90 day supply of test ethanate arrived today. From what I read, this may be a little thicker than test cypionate and maybe a little more difficult to inject with a smaller gauge. Would this change anyone's view 're: gauge? (If it makes any...

  7. Self injection site preferences?

    Thanks for the tips everyone. I need to be careful with legality, but a quick internet look makes me think that Maryland allows purchase without a prescription and probably only considers it illegal drug paraphernalia if it was intended for use with non-prescribed icontrolled substances. In...

  8. Self injection site preferences?

    I may need to look into this more, but mine were definitely dispensed per a script. I think I read that laws vary from place to place about whether it is legal to possess without a script so it might be possible to sell online, without being legal to receive, depending on where you live. If I...

  9. Self injection site preferences?

    I understood that legally you need a prescription to get/posses them. In my line of work, illegal would not be an option.

  10. Self injection site preferences?

    Well, I guess I'll find out soon enough what I think of the 23 gauge. I have no doubt a 25 would be more user friendly, but it has been a LONG time coming to get this far, so I'm not inclined to whine about needle gauges unless I find it pretty damn bad.

  11. Self injection site preferences?

    Glad to hear that has worked for you, as it looks like I will be working with the same equipment. I just received a shipment of 23 gauge 1 inch pins. Still waiting for the syringes and the test, but I confirmed that they plan for me to use the #23 for both the draw and the injection.

  12. Self injection site preferences?

    dixonk - I'll be curious to see what replies you get. My doc's email didn't say anything about two different needles, so I might find myself in the same boat. I have seen internet sites that claim to legally offer needles and syringes without a prescription, but that doesn't seem like it...

  13. Self injection site preferences?

    David Dunn, maybe this is something they will teach me in the doctor's office, but I'm curious about the warming you mentioned. It seems reasonable to me that injection would be easier/more comfortable if the oils were somewhat warmed. Although I thought I read that the test should be stored...

  14. Self injection site preferences?

    Bam Bam0319. That is interesting to hear. Based on what my doc said so far, I think he will likely start with a low dose that could be compatible with .5 mL. If that doesn't't do the trick, I don't know whether he will increase the injection frequency or increase the amount per injection...

  15. Self injection site preferences?

    Napalm - that was my thought, klutz that I can be. I am willing to give the glutes thing a try, but if I suck at it, it is good to know that some folks are happy enough with other locations.

  16. Self injection site preferences?

    Thanks. Maybe once I get instruction and actually try it, it will be easier than I'm imagining. (I'm picturing myself as Inspector Clouseau with a sterile syringe. What could go wrong, right?)

  17. Self injection site preferences?

    After several years using Androgel, I reached the point where my total T numbers were below the normal range even at 4 squirts/day. My endo's response was to gradually up the dose, but my insurance plan refuses to cover the increased dose. As a result, as soon as my remaining supply of...

  18. TRT BLOODWORK updated!

    I would not be surprised if you feel it in the gym for a few days. You may not, but I did even when the donation just dropped from a very high number to one that was still elevated. That said, to keep it in perspective: 1) a couple of days of slightly less intense workouts is a small price to...

  19. TRT BLOODWORK updated!

    My advice would be to donate soon. Otherwise, you may find yourself in a situation where you will need to do a double red donation to keep things in check. Nothing wrong with that, but I think you will feel a bigger impact on cardio from a double red than you will from periodic single...

  20. What do you think my blood work could indicate?

    I'm older than dirt -- 62. Feeling good is definitely a good thing. However, different docs have different views of risk and risk tolerance. There are a lot of practitioners who want to aim for the lowest level that resolves libido/ED. My guy, for example, once made a remark that suggested he...
