I do 100mg twice a week or 50ml. No HCG or AI yet. My doctor is 100% against HCG so if I decide to do that I will have to go another route.

I can't say this is 100% related but I don't seem to be the only one that has experienced this effect. Before TRT I had really unpleasant palpitations for years. I went to multiple doctors and a cardiologist and they all tested and said they were benign and try to ignore it. Well that's...

Quick question for you all about whether this is normal. After my first shot I felt like someone had jump started my life. Lots of energy and libido through the roof. However, I also had increased BP and HR. Nothing major but noticeable. I just finished my third week and BP and HR are...

Just curious if any of you have good luck with the 28g .5" or smaller needle in outer thigh. I like stomach subq and Nelson's shoulder method but I figure the more rotation the better. Also, is it ever necessary to aspirate with these smaller needles? I'm doing .5ml per injection. Thanks!

I've been doing .5ml in the stomach. Stings for a few hours.

Wow 30 or 31? I thought the 28 was extra small. I didn't really even have to really push for it to puncture the skin. The sensation is gone now. It was just sort of uncomfortable and tight feeling if I stretched and moved around. With that being said its a HELL of a lot better than that...

Next time I may try the delt like Nelson recommends.

Thanks! I wasn't sure because I didn't want to push the oil out or anything. The 28g took some doing to draw it and get the bubbles out but the injection was easily done in 10 or 15 seconds and there was no leaking. Just one tiny spec of blood

Well I Just did my first injection as a subq in the stomach. I used a 28g needle. I gotta say the first time really got my nerves fired up. I think it went well. I split my weekly dose in half so I will do another 3 or 4 days later. The injection spot is a bit tender and I can feel the...

Thanks guys. That's gives me some hope things will get better. I'm the type of person that hates to take anything so it took a lot to take this leap. I felt so bad it was starting to affect my marriage which is the only reason I decided to give this a shot. My TT was just over 300 and my...

Oh and the nurse jamming that 22g 1.5" needle in my ass and plunging like she is setting off dynamite has left me limping both times. I've decided to go ahead and do my own dosing and split it twice a week using the 27g needle. If they give me trouble I think I will just stop and look into...

So the first two months are sort of the rough period? So far it hasn't been too bad. The sensitive nips was one thing. The other thing is that before TRT my temperature was always right around 96 degrees. It has since come up to a normal 98.4 or so and I feel a bit flushed and hot...

Whew! Thanks for the response! I've been to the doc so much lately trying to get everything squared away it is like a second job. Good to know this is just a speedbump.

Hey guys. I've had my second shot of T cyp a few days ago. After the first shot I started feeling a lot bette and had a huge increase in spontaneous erections etc. After this shot I haven't noticed as much and there is some slight sensitivity in my nipples. Is it possible that E2 could...

Thank you! I haven't done an injection yet myself so I wanted to make sure I do it right. Currently "stuck" with the nurse jabbing my glutes with the knitting needle

My 27g .5" needles arrived today. My question is whether you need to aspirate when injecting with these needles in the deltoid. On the video that Nelson posted it didn't appear that he did but I wanted to make sure.

I think I will be moving my prescription then. It probably doesn't matter but I would just feel better.

My vials are 1ml but they look like mini versions of the 10ml. I've never opened one to see how it works or if you can draw half and leave the rest. I'm assuming if it has the rubber top it should be ok to not use it all at once.

Just as an additional update. I feel really good today. I felt like I could go forever in the gym. The pain is finally gone from the injection as well. One rather odd thing. I had noticed over the past year or so a slight decrease of power in my urine stream when I went to bathroom. I've...

Thanks guys! I will ask at my next appointment about doing my injections myself. The syringes will hopefully be here this week anyway. I didn't choose my dose at 200mg a week. I am trying to just relax and follow the process as he guides me and input from you all. If I start changing...

I'm not sure. Maybe based on my lifestyle and size. I had a huge questionnaire and also talked about past experience with TRT which for me was a pellet implant that I would never do again. However, based on the fact that I felt the best at 1000-1100 from the pellet maybe he was trying to hit...

Man. That's what I was thinking as well. Maybe I can get them to speed up the process of me doing it on my own. Do you think I will have major issues if I have to do the first month or so at their office with the 200mg? Also, I noticed that my test comes in 1ml ampules which is basically...

No problem! I got it Friday afternoon so about 2 days. I'm not terribly worried about the HCG at the moment. I'm done having kids. I'm also not worried about some shrinkage. If it gets really bad I will try to find another source for it. My BP is up but I am attributing that to just the...

Haha not exactly feeling great right away. Starting this has kicked my anxiety up a notch and my glute feels like a horse kicked me. My doc is pretty good. He has agreed with me to try 200mg every week to start. We can adjust up or down based on blood work. I think he has said he wants to...

Thanks! I appreciate you guys taking the time to respond to these experiences. If it wasn't for this site I wouldn't know who to ask about it.

I went to the gym today and now that sucker is really sore. Hope it clears up soon. One additional question. When you do the .5 inch in the delt of outer thigh do you have to aspirate?

I'm about to turn 40. The decision definitely wasn't life and death but it isn't helping my marriage or life much either. I'm going to give it time to work and compare my results to the way I have been living. That's really the only way to make a fair decision I think.

Just curious if any of you guys had mixed feelings about getting started on TRT. I'm the type to over analyze everything and I kept asking myself should I just deal with the symptoms or try TRT and see if it helps. I've been in the 200-300s since early 20s. All other blood work has been...

Thanks everyone! I actually ordered some of the 27 that Nelson linked. I will definitely try that when I am able. The pain has subsided somewhat today. This is at the two day mark and it is just a bit tender when I flex the muscle.

Thank you Nelson! I will give that a try as you suggest when I am allowed to do my own injections. Should be fairly soon. Otherwise I felt pretty good after the first shot but I am having some trouble sleeping and anxiety tonight. I seemed to be a bit more amped up all day and I keep...

Hello! I got my first shot of 200mg yesterday given by a nurse. The shot was in the glute and was essentially painless. Today however it is pretty sore. Once I am self-injecting I plan to split the dose and go the subq route. I'm curious if the soreness is always pretty bad for the next...
