[QUOTE="madman, post: 212023, member: 13851"] [B][I]Yeah, I've already stocked up on syringes and needles: 1ml syringes, 18g needles for drawing, and 27g x 1.25" for injections. But I'm thinking about getting 30g x 1/2 inch needles for shallow im/subq.[/I][/B] Forget drawing with the 18G. You can easily draw/inject with the 27G. Even then depending on how much adipose is at the injection site you can inject shallow IM using a fixed LDS insulin syringe 27G x 1/2" (12.7MM). [B][I]I'm going to ask my doc to move to 100mg/wk, but starting next week I'm going to move to this on my own. I'd like to work with my doc in full transparency, as a team, but sadly the doc seems more dictatorial than a team player. My concern, as you've mentioned about getting the most out of trt, is that labs so far would have me believe I should be dosing 120 to 160/wk, to really benefit...along with hcg, maybe 500mg/wk.[/I][/B] The best piece of advice would be to start low and go slow. T only protocol at first as we want to see how your body reacts to testosterone. The use of hCG can be added later if need be. 100-120 mg T/week split into more frequent injections would be a sensible move. Much easier to go up than come down! You need to forget about getting caught up on TT numbers achieved on your doctor-prescribed piss-poor injecting T every 2 weeks protocol. Men with lowish/low SHBG can get away with running a lower TT <1000 ng/dL and still achieve a high FT level. Even then seeing as you have absurdly low SHBG you would most likely do much better injecting lower doses more frequently. If you are dead set on avoiding more frequent injections than if anything injecting twice weekly (every 3.5 days) would be more sensible than once weekly.
