Am I in the clear? Inject/Infect

Pinned 100mg of test prop about 10 hours ago. There is very mild soreness. Can barely feel it. Main thing I am worried about is cleanliness of the gear because it was bought as part of a kit from a friend who told me this morning he homebrewed it.

If after 10 hours there is no redness or swelling does that mean the gear is clean? From what I read on this board if the site is fine after 12 hours it is good. Still I don't think the info I read was from a vet or mod so I want to double check.

Got my next injection scheduled for tomorrow night but, just want to make sure it is clean. In the future I will stick to Z and Naps already got some incoming, but for this cycle I am concerned.
 
Your "friend" is a dick if he lied to you, but how could you not tell it was homebrew? Please tell me he did not put it in a used empty vial with a label.

I remember you asking about this cycle a few days ago looks like you went for it. I remember you asking if you left anything out. Identification of legit gear is a big one. I remember you said you read the stickies in article but, you should have looked at the pictures too.

As for your question I think your good to go but, seeing as how I have never had an infection I think one of the more experienced members may be better able to assist you.

I've never had an infection but I would think by now you'd be noticing some syptoms if it were dirty gear. I have friends who homebrew all the time and I've used their stuff so because it's homebrew doesn't necessarily mean it's dirty. I think you'll be fine dude.
 
homebrew is great shit, if its made right. chances of getting a infection from dirty are slim, although it does happen.

did you run the prop with the b-12? or did you shoot the prop alone?
 
you're probably fine but an infection could take a few days to show up. Doubt you'll know much 12 hours after inject.
 
Prop hurts me so bad I can't use it. Even when I mix it woth other gear or just straight oil it still hurts. I think that by me adding additional oil or gear that just makes the prop spread even more and thus it hurts me more.

You could be like me and be real sensitive to prop. If you're ok after today you should be fine. Just keep your injections clean and rotate sites.
 
Prop sometimes makes me sore for a day or two, usually goes away after that. Seems to me you got worried a little too quickly.
 
I once got an abcess in my glute becaues it was deep you could,t see any redness just a baseball size lump that almost fit in my hand very sore to put pressure on needed antibiotics to clear it up and that took two or three days to show up. i think that was to do with the actual pinning (not swabing the site) rather than the gear you should be o.k your blood is quite good at fending off bacteria if you start to get a dull aching pain and a bumped out site in nxt 24 hr go see a quack good look bro (home brew no thanks):wackit:
 
If I remember correctly you said your Prop was 200mg/ml right? Making that strength requires a higher then normal BB% or EO to keep from crashing. I know from experience that prop is hard to keep stable after 150mg. Chances are your friend knows what he is doing. That being the case he probably filtered with a whatman .22u which removes any bacteria and fungi. It also hints at his comprehension of using BA as a anti-microbial in the gear. If your still worried order a whatman filter and pass your gear through it. Alternately or in addition to that you can put your bottle in the oven at 250 for about 45 min. The oven won't kill everything though. A whatman takes it all out. Hope this helps.

Also still wondering how you did not know it was homebrew?
If he put it in an old reused bottle that smells like a scam and your probably just injecting grapeseed or cottonseed.
It has been a bit do you feel it working?

LOL at this. the pain from prop goes away after a day or two when you inject? you're supposed to inject ED or EOD..so essentially that pain should never go away. there should be no day or two or three between inject.

??? What are you talking about? That only happens if you don't rotate sites. Also your body gets accustomed to it and as a result it stops hurting as much due to a decrease in esterase as your body learns to react to esters efficiently.
 
I was running Ultra Test 250 from a legit pharmacy (TRT) and the small amount of Prop in it killed me. If I injected my quad, I wouldn't be able to bend my leg for 4-5 days... And there would be a huge lump and felt hot to me.

So my point being, (if this is your first time running Prop) your gear may be OK but your body just doesn't like Prop if you have similar results.

Yes, I am cutting it with human grade B-12.

Seems the thread derailed after this

I think you may have misread my post. The prop was not all that bad just very mild soreness. No idea where you got the idea from. At any rate to those of you who posted after that message. No I have no pain or redness, but thank you for your insights all the same.

My original question was regarding how long after an injection, would an infection set in if the prop was dirty.

If I remember correctly you said your Prop was 200mg/ml right? Making that strength requires a higher then normal BB% or EO to keep from crashing.

Thank you for that post Mr. Humdiddly. When I read how complex brewing can be to make 200mg I felt a little more confident.

To answer your question no he did not put it in an old used bottle. Actually the bottle had no label. It was my wife who asked me about the lack of label and I was like um... I dunno. Which any of you married gents know started a whole other story.

At any rate asked my friend the next day about it and he said he had made it at home.

I am not experiencing much pain and I think I owe that to you Det Oak. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and my wife says thanks too (she says I am a pain in the ass already, without having pain in my ass.)

At any rate thank the rest of you for your well wishes and all the help sorry this got derailed by that Dominator guy. Happy training all!
 
Ive read, read, and read some more on here.I plan to continue, but one quest. What is home brew?
If you feel the need to flame me, go ahead, but at least answer my question. Thanks,
 
no problem newbs, yea a lot of guys say cutting it with oil helps null the pain alot. i wouldnt worry about infection, if you get one as long as you jump on it quickly, it can be resolved pretty easily. like i said before, you would be suprised how NOT often people get infections from their gear, and actually get it from dirty inject technique.

let us know when it kicks in, should have strong wood by 5th inject.
