My BP came down to mostly normal around week 3. My estrogen was 8 before I started. I wouldn't worry too much about yours being spiked. I doubt that is causing your issues.

That's true man. I am paranoid about feeling the way I did in the past but it's very possible I'm just coming down with something as well. My blood draw is on 10/20 and my discussion is on 10/25. I have a suspicion my test is going to be too high but we will see.

Hey Guys, Just finished up six weeks and so far a lot of my issues have improved. HR is still a bit over what it was but hangs out around 75 which is fine to me. BP is back to normal. Pinning no longer causes lingering soreness. All of that is good. On the negative side I'm not feeling...

Yes this is somewhat frustrating but I really like the things that are improving. It's like being a new person. I really suspect my estrogen is going to come back as too high. If that ends up being the case have you guys found certain medications that work better than others to control the...

Thanks guys. I was pretty sure it sounded like E2 as well. It may be hitting me harder since I had like an E of 8 before starting so my body probably doesn't know what's going on.

Hey guys, Just finished my fifth week and I'm having the symptoms listed in the title. Some nights I am waking up a little sweaty. Not drenched but sweaty mainly on my chest and neck. Also, morning wood seems to have disappeared. Also my nipples seem to stay a bit hard and sore/sensitive...

So I assume that has never caused you any issues. I wonder if their need for a large number of spots comes from injecting large volumes of many compounds frequently. I've so far done glute, stomach, legs, shoulders.

Was doing some reading and came across some guys saying that you should have at a minimum 4 locations that you rotate for injections. However, I think these guys were doing full blown steroid cycles and not TRT. It did make me curious though how many spots you guys go through in a rotation...

Hey man I know exactly what you are going through. I also have GAD and manage it with lexapro and Xanax. I'm the type to always check my pulse and BP and freak out about it. People like us will be extra sensitive to any new sensation or feeling in our bodies which ends up exacerbating...

Just as an update for you guys. After reading more I believe my pain issues were mainly that every time I injected I was using a new location. It seems pretty common that the first one or two injections in a new location causes some lingering pain because the tissue isn't used to the extra...

Update from my shot yesterday. I tried very hard to keep the needle still and also injected even more slowly than usual. After the shot I also took the time to do some vigorous massaging. Today the shot is basically painless. On my last shot someone bumped the stool I was sitting on and my...

Also I don't know if it matters but the pain is not constant. I really only notice it during flexation of the muscle like when working out or stretching.

Thanks for the follow up! I have never had allergy issues to anything but that doesn't mean this couldn't be a first. I just did my injection today so I won't be doing another till Tuesday. I tried very hard today to keep the needle still and also to inject slowly. One video I watched...

CW, I am doing 100mg twice a week as a .5ml injection each time. My bottle is 200mg/ml so I do .5 ml on Tuesday and Friday. The answer to your question is definitely. I'm sore constantly from the gym anyway and as I said this just feels like a bruise from sparring or something of that...

One last question. Could it possibly help to inject less oil but more frequently? I am due for an injection today and I was debating trying a smaller amount just to see if it made any difference. Current dose is .5ml of 200mg/ml

Thank you! It's cotton seed oil. I have been counting to 10 so it is roughly 10 seconds for the .5ml. It is possible that my hand is shaking some and wiggling the needle a bit so that could be an issue. I've used 3 different brands. One was Sun, one was Watson, and the most recent is...

First of all I have read the sticky here on injection sites and watched Mr Vergel's video on shoulder injection as well as Dr. Crisler's video on subq stomach injections. Everything goes smoothly in every site I have used so far during the injection. I'm using easy touch 28g .5" insulin...

Thanks James. I hope I didn't come off as flippant or nonchalant in my post. I try to be light hearted because it helps me deal with my fear and concerns with the whole process. I absolutely hate taking medicine even down to Advil so this process is causing me a lot of stress as I come to...

That's interesting... It's strange to me that exogenous testosterone would have so many odd quirks. Unless of course men who naturally have high testosterone have internal wiring that makes it function smoother than those of us who weren't so lucky. If my numbers are out of range when I do...

Thanks for the info. I actually feel more normal even though the BP is higher. When my BP was very low I felt cold and sluggish and as I said my body temp was pretty low at 95-96 degrees. It's too early to be caused by any Hematocrit issues I assume? I want to make sure I'm still good to...

Well I've got anxiety issues so it can swing pretty wild. For example before TRT when I was home it would be around 115/65 on average. At the doctor it could go to 150/100 just from pure adrenalin dump from the anxiety.

I know this has been discussed somewhat but I wanted to get some suggestions on what if anything I should do in this situation. I just finished my first month of TRT. I have my first post TRT blood work coming up on 10/14 so I don't know my values yet to give you here. What I have seen is...

I agree but the infuriating thing was I didn't drink or smoke and I didn't feel particularly stressed except for the stress caused by the palpitations. However, when they started of course the more I focused on them the worse they would get. Maybe it is just the things are running smoother...

Thank you Nelson! It really is like night and day with my mood. Instead of being more aggressive and having "roid rage" I feel calmer and more mellow and I don't have the instant anger that would just make me fly off the handle at nothing. However, in the gym I definitely feel more...

Hi Bruin, When you mentioning rotating sites do you mean between legs or like shoulders, stomach, and legs?

Guys thanks for all the info! I may look into that defy HCG. I haven't heard anything negative about their services from anyone. For the time being I think I will just go with just the test cyp and see where I am after a few months. I'm very OCD and the less variables I have to consider...

Thank Vince but he's not going to do it. He made that pretty clear. If I end up switching to someone else I may be able to try it.

Ok well just did my first thigh injection and it was far far easier for me than the subq stomach injection at .5ml. I don't have much body fat around my midsection and I could always feel that knot of oil for a while until it started to break down. The oil in the thigh went in easier and I...

He started me at that dose because I tried the pellet implant years ago. It had me around 1100 TT over the course of the three months with a decline of course over the last month. He asked me how I felt at that level and I told him I felt great. I guess his reasoning was to try to get...

That's great that you both had the same result! I'm sure you both know what a mental strain it is to have your heart fluttering and skipping. Mine did both sensations. I wore the Holter and had ekgs and and sonogram scan etc. I would do TRT if all it did was stop those because they...

Thanks! So I know you should aspirate with the longer needles. Do you guys still do it with the smaller .5" ones?
