Okay, so I switched over to area 2 on my included pic. Much easier to inject no nerve problems. I don't remember it being that easy which is why I stopped injecting into that muscle before. Interesting.

That actually totally worked. Thank you sir.

What is the reason it's not recommended to inject in the rectus femoris? Because of the issue I described, or something else? Also, in the past when I inejected into the vastus lateralis, I would more often than not hit clusters of nerves that would cause local spasms, which is why I stopped...

I recently posted on how my levels are super low relative to my dosage, and one possible culprit is the way I've been injecting. I've been injecting prop fairly easily into my left leg, in the spot within the circle as shown below: And I've been injecting cypionate into my right leg with...

Not necessarily. For example, there is no reason to take an AI if your estrogen levels are in check. In fact, in such a case it could harm you by bringing your levels down too low if you estrogen levels are okay to begin with.

That's completely ridiculous that your doctor believes that testing estradiol level is unnecessary. I don't know if elevated estradiol levels is the culprit of your decreased sex drive/function, but of course you should get that tested!!! Get it checked regardless. Better to be safe than...

It must be something on my end then, I really really hope so at least. 1386 is amazing, what do you mean injection of 28 mg? Isn't it 200 mg per 1 cc? Can you clarify your dosage? In any case, I am really super happy that your T levels are good! :) One question though, why are you testing...

Thank you for finding that thread. Honestly, I do not accept the whole "it's impossible to mess up because of tight and strict regulations" thought process because unless every single vial compounded by the pharmacy is tested by an independent 3rd party and verified every single time, I fully...

I don't feel that much better on the weekend than I do the rest of the week. But I mean, even in my previous protocol where I did 1 cc cyp on Monday + 0.5 prop on Friday - I blood tested Monday morning, and in July 2016 I was fine but February 2017 I wasn't. How is this possible? I did...

Hmm, it was meant to combat the previous low results of February 2017 wherein I took 1 cc cyp on Monday + 0.5 cc prop on Friday - and I drew blood on Monday prior to shot. As of the most recent injection, I injected cyp+prop (0.55+0.8, respectively) on Monday morning (before noon) and on Friday...

Yes, they were good in 2016. July 2016 T, total - 1026 T,free - 31.2 February 2016 T, total - 726 T, free - 38

Dosage: 0.55 mL of Test Cyp (200 mg/mL) Monday+Friday, 0.8 Test Prop (50 mg/mL) Monday+Friday, 150 iu HCG every day. I took labs on Friday before the injections.

It comes from Hallandale Pharmacy. Are there any known issues with them?

I've been on TRT since 2013, so I am no newbie to this. Long story short, my T levels have been relatively consistent with my prescribed dosages, up until a few months ago, and I have no idea why! February 2017 Dosage: 1 mL of Test Cyp (200 mg/mL) Monday, 0.5 Test Prop (50 mg/mL) on Friday...

Recently (about 6 weeks ago) my protocol was basically split into half twice a week, and about that time my nipples started itching occasionally and also a clear minor discharge upon squeezing the aerola/nipple area. But being it started at the time of the change, it makes little sense that the...

What I mean is that let's say you have some leftover T from a while back, and you want to see how having much higher T levels affect you (particularly with sex drive/enjoyment + muscle building), so you inject like 1.5-2 times more than your prescribed dosage, because you have that extra T lying...

I am asking because I am reading Lyle McDonalds book 'Bromocriptine', and he writes fascinating stuff about it. I am interested in following his guidelines, but not if it is the same drug (or "effectively" the same drug) as Cabergoline, because I tried that before and it totally killed my...

Doesn't Test Prop actually increase DHT levels more than an equivalent dosage of Cyp?

"Success" on TRT is more about the benefit you receive from the therapy, rather than the actual level attained in the bloodstream. If you are super happy and feel amazing at 500 ng/dL, why in the world would you raise your dosage? There's absolutely no reason to. Also, not to mention...

It's not the worry that stresses me out, it's the legitimate possibility that poking a sharp metal foreign object into the same muscle twice a week may do some long term damage. It barely hurts at all, and rarely leaves soreness anymore. I find it quite awkward to inject into any other muscle...

I inject twice a week (Cyp on Mon/Tues -and- Prop on Fri/Sat), and I always inject in my right thigh muscle (quads). I don't feel any particular soreness or pain that I can complain about, so I am just wondering if there's any reason to alternate between the muscles I inject into? Or does it...

I am using it for TRT purposes. Everything I do is legal and medically justified. I have primary hypogonadism and my weekly dosage is nowhere near a steroid dosage. The "stash" I am referring to is leftover from past prescriptions that overlapped when transferring doctors. I decided it was...

No, and not only that - I just realized that my testosterone prop has expired on 7/19/2015. So even if I had enough to last me three more weeks (which I don't), it would be expired stuff anyways. I called up my clinic, and they said that they can't do anything about it so they forwarded a...

Hey guys!! So I've been taking slightly higher amounts of prop than prescribed in my weekly prop injections, and I (surprise, surprise) ran out of it 3 injections early... I'm a bit of an idiot that I did this, I know. Anyways.... leaving that behind us - I need some practical advice here...

The reason my doctor suggested I use Cabergoline was because I have trouble experiencing orgasms (sexual functioning is fine, sexual drive varies up and down). My prolactin levels were 19.5 ng/mL (ref 4.0 - 15.2). Is it really possible that my prolactin levels dropped to nearly zero after 3...

I just had the most painful injection today. I usually inject in my right thigh, but I switch to the left sometimes (today I did left). Anyways, I held the 1.5" 23G needle all the way in at a really bad angle, that I only realized after I finished injecting myself. I let it naturally release...

Okay so this is a weird question I am asking, because all current research shows exactly the opposite of what I am experiencing. I have taken 0.25 mg of Cabergoline 3 times already, each dosing 3 days apart from each other. Since I started, my sex drive and function dropped to nearly zero...

Your testosterone levels were pretty high and out of range based off your blood work, and yes, you probably should have had the blood drawn before you applied the gel, but I highly doubt that there would be that huge of a difference anyways, as Androgel is known to keep T levels in the blood...

I'm not against "blasting" at all, but only if you are educated and aware of what you are doing. The way you posed that question made it seem as if you are a 14 year old boy looking to get ripped, and you heard that steroids "do the trick". I'm not trying to insult you, but if you really...

Yes!! You know that T levels are not the only factor that determines the way how depressed or happy you feel. The inability to enjoy otherwise very enjoyable activities could very well be related to low dopamine levels/responses; i.e. the "pleasure hormone". You could have high T, but at the...

Oh and by the way, if you are medically justified to be on TRT, it is for life, not "just a while". There is no cure for hypogonadism, only treatments.
