  1. test cyp IM with insulin syringe

    Just did my first injection with insulin syringe in shoulder. Really nice. I even noticed that I wasn't as nervous and tense while injecting. I think I might have pushed a little too fast because there was a small speck of oil left at injection site. Will push a little slower next time. Not...

  2. test cyp IM with insulin syringe

    Just got my insulin syringes in and they are in U-100 measurements. If I want to inject .5 cc, would that be 50 units on the U-100 syringe?

  3. Thyroid questions

    I think TGAB is thyroid antibodies. What is TPO? I'm going to have thyroid checked on June 8. Doc said something about Free T3/T4, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies. Would like to know if there is anything else that needs to be checked. Will get results from 24hr saliva test on next visit...

  4. test cyp IM with insulin syringe

    I'll be glad when my 28g syringes come in. Just injected 1/2cc with 25g 1" into glute and a little blood came out when I withdrew the needle. Hopefully didn't lose too much oil.

  5. The Official Hypothyroidism Thread

    My doc put me on .75mg synthroid (synthetic t4) after TSH came back at 10.69 and before testing free t3/t4. He now wants to test for free t3/t4, reverse t3 and thryoid antibodies after being on synthroid for 2 months. I asked him if I needed to lay off before these tests to get a more accurate...

  6. test cyp IM with insulin syringe

    Much appreciated DragonRider.

  7. test cyp IM with insulin syringe

    Just ordered some 28gx1/2" easytouch insulin syringes for $17 with s/h. Figured since DR uses 27g and Matrix uses 29g, 28g would be alright. The 27gx5/8" were about $50 for a box of 100 everywhere I looked; they were also called "IV" syringes. Does that describe the syringes you use DR?

  8. test cyp IM with insulin syringe

    Thanks DragonRider. Who wants to be injecting with a large needle 2x a week for the rest of our lives. I sure as hell don't.

  9. test cyp IM with insulin syringe

    Matrix said he uses 29g .5" needles. Is this what you use DR? Also, do you push a whole syringe full of air into vial before drawing?

  10. test cyp IM with insulin syringe

    Any info from guys injecting .5mL test cyp IM with insulin syringes. Drawing, injection site, needle size, etc; any info would be appreciated DragonRider and Matrix.

  11. test cyp glute injection

    I am injecting air at the same amount that I draw oil. Push in 1cc of air with bottle sitting on counter and then turn upside down to draw 1cc of oil.

  12. TSH levels and free T3/T4

    Yeah, I read somewhere that synthroid stays in system for 8 days. Just didn't know if thyroid would have recovered by then. If new bloodwork shows that something is wrong, I am going to ask doc about a t3/t4 approach instead of just t4. Maybe desicated thyroid or armour.

  13. TSH levels and free T3/T4

    Decided to lay off synthroid for 1 month before bloodwork. Will my t3/t4 levels be back to where they would have been before being on synthroid for 1 month?

  14. test cyp glute injection

    I'm not sure if a 29g insulin syringe will draw this test cyp. It takes a while to draw with 23g, lots of back pressure pulling on the plunger. Do you guys that inject IM with an insulin syringe warm the bottle of oil before drawing/injecting?

  15. test cyp glute injection

    When I draw with the 23g, it takes a while for the oil to fill the syringe up to 1mL. Test cyp is 100mg/ml from Sandoz. Injecting with the 25g was nice, just took a minute. Didn't want to push too hard on the plunger. Just received 23g 1.5" thin wall BD needles in the mail along with 20g for...

  16. test cyp glute injection

    I used the 25g x1" for 1cc of 100mg/ml in thigh on my last injection. My doc has told me to inject 1cc/week, but I am thinking of going to .5cc every 3 days like you gator. Was using 23g to draw, but soon will get some 20g. Also will be getting 23gx1.5" for glute injections.

  17. TSH levels and free T3/T4

    Thanks for the quick response Matrix. I have been on synthroid for one month. My next appointment for bloodwork is on June 8. I'm probably going to keep taking the synthroid at least until I go back for more tests to see if my TSH levels come down. If TSH comes down, I will know that there...

  18. TSH levels and free T3/T4

    My doc put me on synthroid after seeing that my TSH was high before looking at free T3/T4. He plans on testing free T3/T4 along with thyroid antibodies and reverse T3 in one month. I will have been on synthroid .75 mg for 2 months by the time the other tests will be done. I am wondering how...

  19. test cyp glute injection

    Thanks for the reply Dragonrider; kinda makes me feel better. The info that I had read about subq was that most people inject smaller amounts more frequently, this was 1cc. I am pretty confident that it got into the muscle, a little bit of soreness afterwards. Soreness feels like it is in the...

  20. test cyp glute injection

    Just started test cyp injections on Monday (5/2/11) and used a 1" 25g to inject into glute. It took a couple minutes for all of the oil to go in and I am pretty sure that the oil got into the muscle. I now know that I should be using a 1.5" 23g for glutes. Will use the 1" for thighs and delts...
