just did first injection!

[akka]

hey guys, so i just did my first injection. 200 test e. so it was 0.8 ml cos its dosed at 250mg/ml. im pinning twice per week. i think all went well. i was shaking like an absolute leaf though but i didn't feel anything at all really. it was fairly easy to push the oil in, didn't take too much pressure really. did it over about 15 seconds. the only thing i thought was a bit different to how i imagined was aspirating. i had to pull with quite a bit of pressure, i thought you just had to pretty much tap it? anyway finally i got a couple of bubbles so i went ahead with the injection.
does anyone have any tips on what i should do now? should i keep the leg horizontal for a bit or should i be a bit active? does it matter if i take a shower right now?

im sure none of this matters and im thinking about it too much... im just real excited and nervous right now!

haha congrats!

as for aspirating, really all you need to do is tap it. you'll see blood come in if you're in a vein. the blood will want to push itself up into the needle if you're sticking directly into it. just apply some pulling pressure for a second, don't worry about seeing air bubbles just keep your eye on the base of the needle and see if any red comes streaking in. a lot of people think you have to pull way back it isn't necessary.

as for the leg, some people recommend working it out some to get the muscles moving and blood pumping to help with later stiffness. i like to do this, and having done both i prefer doing some light work on the muscle group.

also i wouldn't recommend keeping your leg bent for extended periods of time over the next couple of days. so i mean if you're sitting try to straighten your leg out at least some, or at least sometimes. this helps with me.

i noticed the pain would get worse after driving and at home i spend all day in front of my computer so i started stretching my legs out more while i sit and that seems to help quite a bit with the stiffness.

Congrats dude...It's easy after you knock out your first one.

Just get a nice 23 or 25G needle...20's aren't fun

nice one buddy ! ,

any reason ur doin 0.8ml .. instead of 1ml ?

i think u'd be better to go for 1ml 2xpw personally .

sounds good to me. make sure you use alcohol wipes to prepare the injection site and to clean after. and u can go about everything as normal. also did u use the same in to draw with if so.get drawing pins.

15 seconds to inject??? What gauge needle are you using to pin? The reason I ask is because that seems rather quick and you might get some unwanted pain a few days after which could be easily solved by injecting a little slower. I use a 25g and it takes me about 45 seconds to 1 minute to inject at a good slow steady pace and I hardly ever get after injection pain. Just a thought.

You might wunna be a little careful with the shaking too bro. I know you were nervous and can't really control it, but just make sure that needle is not moving around. I've made that mistake before and it hurts like a motherfucker!! Also don't forget that the first time you hit a muscle group it hurts the worst, so if you're in some pain the next few days don't worry its not gonna be as bad everytime. I guess you're running 400mg/week?

first one out of the way the next will be better.
i bet you cant wait fo rthe next one.

Congrats dude!

If you pin in the quad and are feeling pain the next few days to the point it's a bitch to put on a pair of socks which has been happening to me lately!

So after I pin and the next day I've been stretching my quads like crazy, hurts like hell but I find it makes the pain last a hell of a lot shorter!

Take a shower before you pin.

i just wanted to be a bit cautious with my first cycle, and im not really big or anything anyway so i'm just gonna go 200mg twice per week.

nah i used 21g to draw and then 23g to pin.

yeah i did go slowly, i only had 0.8ml to inject so it wasn't much. and its the morning after now and i don't have any pain what so ever!

yep, 400mg / week. and i was expecting to feel some pain the next morning, but i haven't got any pain!

yeah about 10 mins after the injection i rubbed my quad gently. and then i did a bit of stretching before going to bed.

thanks guys!

just did second injection... have a question. this one didn't go as smoothly as the first i think. nothing went wrong i dont think, but the first time i put the pin in, i went in about an inch and then it sort of started to hurt. do u reckon that was just normal pain for an injection or do u think i was approaching a nerve? anyway i took it out and tried a different spot. this time i got it in all the way without hurting.
also, when i aspirated, i put quite a bit of pressure on the syringe but no bubbles or anything came out. i figured seeing as no blood was there i was safe, even if i didnt see any bubbles.
i have a feeling that this one is gonna hurt bad tmrw. its a little bit tender to touch already. really not like the first one i did.
