Getting started, finally...

Hey guys. After waiting six months for my doctor to be satisfied with my estrogen/estradiol numbers, I'm finally getting started. He tried me on a compounded topical that didn't seem to do much of anything except make things worse. So yesterday he wrote me a script for 12 ml of 100mg/ml, .5 twice a week. Turns out no pharmacy in my area carries 100, so the pharmacist gave me 6-1ml vials of 200mg and wrote the instructions for .25ml twice a week. That should be fine, right?

Also, the syringes they gave me have the needles on them. There are no "extraction needles" like I'm seeing in the videos. Will I be able to use the same needle to extract and inject?

Thanks!
John
 
Yes you can use the same syringe, for vial and injecting. I use easy touch 27gauge 1/2". 50mg of testosterone twice a week should be an okay starting dose.

Thanks! They gave me 25g and they were fine, I honestly didn't feel anything at all. Not even a little.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
