    Can 5/16 needle be used for shallow IM (deltoid)?

    My outer thigh muscle, the rectus femoras, are very lean and that's where I inject my T cyp, using a 29g 5/16". I know it's shallow IM but it's definitely hitting muscle. I alternate sides and area each injection, which is 40mg Monday and Thursday. Warming the vial under hot water helps it...

    Anyone tracking sleep cycles/Devices/Apple Watch Ultra?

    I really like the Withings Sleep mat. It's a pad that goes under your mattress and tracks your Delta, REM, and light phases of sleep, as well as sleeping heart rate and any breathing disturbances. It syncs with your smartphone which allows you to keep track of each night. I paid around $100...

    The TRT benefits are always overhyped by clinics and the TRT community

    I absolutely disagree with your fallacious premise. Numerous studies demonstrate the benefits of restoring T levels. I'm not talking supraphysiologic levels either. I've been on TRT for 4 years and I can say, unequivocally, the benefits of it have been fantastic, both subjectively and...

    Why HCG causes anxiety?

    Not sure about effect on thyroid but when I added hCG, I, too, experienced some mild anxiety. I'm using 150iu daily Monday-Friday (750weekly total). I lowered my T cyp dose from 50mg 2X/week to 40mg 2X/week and that did the trick. In secondary hypogonadism, hCG will allow your testicles to...

    Has anyone had any really bad sides with PT-141?

    Not pathetic at all...it's called approaching with caution and is a very wise way to try a new substance. Anytime I use something new, I always inject a very small amount to see if it elicits a negative reaction. What if I'm allergic to it? If no adverse reaction, then I titrate up...rinse...

    Has anyone had any really bad sides with PT-141?

    Good thing you started low. The sides usually pass after the first few injections.

    Has anyone had any really bad sides with PT-141?

    When I get 10mg vials of a substance, I use 2.5mL bacteriostatic water to reconstitute. Then .25mL (one quarter of a milliliter) equals 1 milligram of product. Each unit on the syringe equals 40 micrograms. So, say, 5 units equals 200 micrograms. I've found dosing things like PT141 or...

    Considering "micro dosing" AI?

    I take 2 one mg anastrazole tablets and crush them into a fine powder. I then put that in a dropper bottle and add 10 milliliters each of food grade polypropylene glycol and 10 milliliters of pharmacy compounding liquid (helps cover the taste of the p. glycol). Shake well. The dosage is 1...

    Natural T vs. Test Cyp.

    Thank you for the detailed replies. Once again, this site overwhelms me with the generous knowledge shared here.

    Natural T vs. Test Cyp.

    I'm sure this has been answered here before but I searched and can't find the answer. The question I have is: Normal males produce around 4-7 milligrams of natural testosterone per day, so that works out to 28-49mgs per week. Why do we tend to use so much more, say testosterone cypionate...

    Does HCG stop working due to desensitization?

    I use Pregnyl (and have for years) and, like the link I posted states, easily stays potent for 60+ days.

    Interesting Experience with Pygeum

    I use the NOW brand of Pygeum, which has saw palmetto in it. I swear when I started using it, I had the same results as OP did. Better orgasms, more precum, etc. Pygeum, along with Lethicen (sunflower), hCG, and l-arginine allows me to shoot like I did when I was in my 30s (I'm 52 now)...

    Does HCG stop working due to desensitization?

    Actually, what I posted is accurate.

    Dumb question regarding ejaculation

    I've found that hCG, sunflower lecithin, pygeum, and l-arginine allows me to shoot like I did when I was in my 30s (I'm 52 now). Edging also adds to volume as well. I also do Kegels daily and believe that';s very important to keep those muscles well trained.

    Does HCG stop working due to desensitization?

    I use Pregnyl and it stays good for a long time. Also, You shouldn't freeze reconstituted hCG. The lyophilized powder is fine to keep in the freezer but not once it's mixed with BAC water.
