Anyone ever heard of this? I have recently ran across several articles that state this as a fact. Google has several articles backing this up. Thoughts??

Thanks for the replies

I'm 4 weeks into therapy and my doctor said I could increase my testosterone dosage from 120mg to 150mg a week. I can choose how I want to inject. I'm trying to decide between 2 or 3 injections a week. If I did three I would inject MWF mornings 50mg a shot. If I did two it would be Sunday...

Does anyone know why oral DHEA and pregnenolone are considered safe, but oral testosterone is not. It seems that if oral testosterone is unsafe, then oral dhea/preg would be unsafe for the same reasons.

I'm going on a trip in a few weeks and would like to preload a few syringes. If I backfill them and lay them on their side, will any oil ooze out over time? Any issues with leakage? Thanks

Thanks Nelson

Thanks guys!

I'm going to be splitting my dose from 2x to 3x a week. If I'm drawing with a 27G needle, will this mess up the stopper? Thanks

Sorry, I was speaking to Johndoesmith

I don't have any SHBG readings. I'm getting one in 3 weeks. Yes, that was a trough reading. I remember that I've been told before starting trt that I have really low estrogen.

I remember when I was on before it was at a Low T Center. The guy commented that I had extremely low estrogen on the initial labs before starting. I've been back on for 3 weeks. I have labs 3 weeks from now. Can you explain your thinking about low E2 and slow aromatization?

I was on 140mg one time per week for six weeks a year ago. On my trough day, 7 days after injection, my total testosterone was 1066ng/dl. What do you guys think my total testosterone will be at the six week labs on my current protocol of 60mg twice per week at the 3.5 day trough? I would guess...

CoastWatcher, I was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor 2 years ago. It's been a long journey to figure out what to do about it. My endo says I don't need surgery as it is a 5mm micro adenoma and doesn't appear to be causing excess hormones. Everything is normal with me except for 2 common things...

Has anyone experimented with 3 times per week injections? Did you feel any better than 2? Also, does anyone on the forum feel better on just one time per week? Thanks, I've been on 2 times per week and am not feeling that great yet. I tried trt a year ago and seemed to feel more positive results...

I'd like to know what everyone is currently doing to dispose of used needles/syringes. What's the easiest and best way to do this?

Thanks Vince. I'm hoping it will pass.

I started injecting in shoulders Thursday of last week. The first day I injected 100mg in each shoulder for a total of 200mg with a 27G 1/2 in. My protocol going forward is going to be 50mg every 3.5 days in shoulders. I started that yesterday afternoon when I injected 50mg in my right shoulder...

Sorry, I did mean 2ml vials. Anyone thanks for the replies. Anyone else taking Perrigo from Walgreens?

I recently started trt. I went to pick up prescription from Wallgreens and was surprised to get 6 small 200ml vials of Perrigo test cyp. Each vial is supposed to last me 2 weeks as I will be injecting 50ml's twice weekly. I will be drawing from the vial 4 times. Is this ok? I think these are...

I've read where some guys on trt say that they feel better while taking it. It's supposed to help your body get rid of the bad forms of estrogen while keeping the beneficial forms. I've read that it contains substances that are found in cruciferous veggies such as broccoli and cauliflower.

Does anyone warm their testosterone vial before drawing to speed the process up? I recently ran hot water into a cup and then dipped the vial into the water for a few seconds. This made the drawing and injecting process a lot faster since I'm using 27G 1/2". Can this damage the testosterone? Is...

I'll be interested to see the results of your test Nelson!

Who has checked your pregnenolone levels? Did supplementing with preg help bring levels up? If so what form and dose? Also, has anyone had low pregnenolone and then added HCG to your protocol? Did the added HCG bring Preg levels up? Thanks

No, just a little sore at injection site. The itching feeling on the skin on shoulders and biceps is weird though.

Started protocol yesterday where I inject shallow IM with 27G 1/2 in into shoulders. Today, my shoulders, biceps, and arms are itching. Is this normal? I injected 50mg into each outer part of shoulder at a 90 degree angle.

Thanks for the info ERO

I just injected with the 27g 0.5" for the first time. Disregard, the question from earlier. That was easy and simple. Thanks anyway.

I have some 27 and 29 gauge 1/2in syringes that I am going to be starting trt with. I am going to start using Nelson's shoulder technique. I would like to be able to inject in the glute as well using a 1 inch needle. I just don't know what supplies I need. I need someone in the know to tell me...

Thanks for the info!

This is a stupid question I'm sure to the more experienced guys on the forum. I was prescribed a 10ml vial of testosterone in a concentration of 200mg of test per ml. The doctor prescribed me .25ml twice per week which I think is 50mg for each injection. I have 1cc syringes. How much do I draw...

For those in the know, or who have measured both their peak and trough while on test cypionate, what is the general variation between the peak and trough blood levels on an every 3.5 day injection protocol? I gather that the peak and trough difference will be more evened or smoothed out on an...
