    Where can I buy 27 Gauge 1 cc syringes?

    Here's what I do to combat this problem. - Draw to desired mark on syringe - Remove syringe from the vial - With syringe inverted (needle up), draw a little air until it's right at the beginning of the "nose" or dead zone (I am to get it to the zero mark) - Now flip it over (needle down) and...

    Post injection: red, itchy, bumpy - what to do??

    I also inject test cyp in quads, sub-q. 1 in 10 injections I get a wierd bump or itchy spot. Do you massage the area after injection? I take my alcohol pad and rub the area with my thumb or fingers applying pretty good pressure for 10-20 seconds. Usually when I get the bump, I've gotten lazy and...

    Jk78 case - from before the starting line

    Jk78 case - from before the starting line

    Yes, I am being treated by Dr. Berger. I've gone to him for a couple other small issues outside of TRT as well, with equally good results. I do use insurance when it makes the most sense, and this is where his staff has been better than any doctor I have ever been to. With my insurance, some...

    Jk78 case - from before the starting line

    Things are going well. I did see Dr. Berger in August and started TRT right away. I added hcg in October and tweaked my protocol in January. My next appointment is in April. Dr. Berger and all of his staff really work WITH me. As far as my response to TRT, it's been very positive. A lot more...

    Body odor after starting testosterone

    I really only notice it when I'm done working out. Only way I can describe it is organic. First time I noticed it, it resembled broccoli, but I hadn't eaten any. Not a big deal, because again, I don't sweat more, or more often.

    Body odor after starting testosterone

    I noticed, almost immediately, when I started my trt in August that when I sweat it has a different odor to it than previously. I don't sweat more or more often, but when I do it smells different than pre-trt. I have never seen this mentioned anywhere else before. Anyone else experience this...

    What size syringe/needle is best?

    This isn't adding up to me. Was the (1ml) a typo? What strength vial are you using?

    Managing Low SHBG and E2, High Free T

    Why are the ranges all over the place for these test sometimes? I understand there are different units of measurement, but this top end range is 836, I've seen some over 1,200. In other words, if he got tested at a different lab with a top end of 1,100 would he still be at 949 and his doctor...

    HCG vs. Non-HCG

    This is exactly why I wanted, and have, added it to my protocol. Don't care about fertility (had a vasectomy earlier this year), and the testicular shrinkage was a secondary concern. It's too early to report effects as I am in week 1 though.

    When to pin again?

    My thought process is just not letting it bottom out all the way before getting on a more consistent schedule. Things are going to level out either way, but why sink to the bottom before you start to swim again. Giving it over a week should be a good starting point. Others (much more...

    Dr.'s visit went well

    I'm very happy about this part. I was nervous because I had my own blood drawn prior to going. I wasn't sure if he would be ok or think I was trying to be the doctor. We had very good conversation and it seems like he appreciates the time I've put in to researching this. I figured he'd have...

    When to pin again?

    If your new schedule is going to be Mon-Thurs, I would start the new protocol Thursday the 15th, no later than Monday the 19th. I would want to level things off before I bottomed out again.
