So i just got my rx from the doc, 200 mg every two weeks, but i'll be doing 100mg weekly cause i heard it's better.

anyways I have my needle, 21g right now.

so I clean injection site with alcohol pad, pull the needle back to fill with air, then push into bottle and pull out same ammount of T.

So then how do i inject, i'm gonna try an do it into my glute, i kinda remember where they did it to me before, upper left buttock.

do i push the needle ALL the way in? i'm a skinny guy it won't hit bone? i'm 125 lb with no ass.

Do i need to pull back on the needle and see if blood comes out or something?

then i just push it in slowly and thats it?

Thanks.
 
Do not inject with a 21g needle. That is a harpoon. Use a 25g or 23g needle. Go to your pharmacy and get some.

Easiest way to learn how to inject is by watching YouTube or have a nurse show you. Let me look for a video for you.

We were ALL scared the first time. And second time. It is normal.
 
I was you yesterday. My prescription is for 200mg every 2 weeks. I did 100mg last night for my first injection ever. I was very nervous, looking forward to next week's shot now. Megatron is right, youtube has many videos and use a 25g or 23g to inject, barely felt anything (with 25g, drew Test with a 22g - took 45 seconds or so). I pinned in my glute though, awkward as I was shaking as well. I'm going to do quad next time.

Sweet awesome quick advice, i think i may just do it in my quad tonight. i'm having my girl pick up some 25g needles and alcohol swabs, gonna grab the muscle, push in about an inch, and then check for blood, then inject.

sounds simple, i'll let ya know how it goes, thanks guys.
 
If you are using test cypionate, a 23ga needle will flow easier. For some reason the 25ga needle hurt me more even though It's smaller. Takes a lot of pressure to push that oil through the higher gauge needles. I wouldn't go any longer than 1 inch for injecting. Get some 18 gauge tips for drawing the test from the vile too.
 
quad freaks me out, sometimes it's hard to walk for a few days.
Don't know why you wouldn't just do it in your glute, virtually impossible to hit a vein. OR have your girl just shove it in your ass :).
You should split that 100mgs into 2 50mgs per week, this will keep your T levels stable and lower your estrogen.. I use insulin needles in my delts, itty bitty un intimidating needles. Works great, less scarring.

I don't think I am flexible to twist around and pin my glute with one hand. That's why. And my wife doesn't want to pin me when she knows I can do it myself.
 
Sub Q Injections of testosterone (or any oil-based compound) is perfectly fine provided you keep the total volume injected fairly small. Now, small can vary from person to person. .5cc should be safe for most. I've gone as far as .7cc without any problems. This kind of volume is more than adequate for TRT purposes.

Having said that if you do switch to Sub Q injections there is a very good chance you will have to go through the whole dial in process all over again due to the different absorption rates of the compound when administering Sub Q.

I only started TRT a few months ago, so I may not know much. But I started injecting test cyp SubQ about twice a week after IM injections the first month and SubQ seems to be working well for me. It is easy, almost painless, and I have had no problems at all. My injections have never exceeded 0.5 ml.

My total test was 1244 ng/dL from injections averaging about 120mg/week for several weeks prior.

Not sure why 3J has this opinion.....but I searched the forums after this and see many users opting for this method including some well respected guys. Seems as long as the volume is kept at a reasonable level, it's not a problem. And as I said, several docs in the field also recommending and using this method.
