    Is a 30 gauge needle safe for IM injecting?

    The more I think about it, it might be more like 10 seconds if I actually counted one one thousand, two one thousand etc. I like the 30G because I usually can't even feel the needle going in unless I hit a big nerve, but ya it takes a little longer, and a steady hand. I wouldn't mind trying a...

    Is a 30 gauge needle safe for IM injecting?

    I load my 1ml syringe with a 20G, and inject with a 30G X 1". Been doing that for almost a year with zero problems into the quads. I'm a low SHBG guy, so I'm only pushing .10ml every day. It takes me about 20 seconds to push in .10, but I'm not pushing crazy hard, because I don't want my thumb...

    Very average orgasms and low amount of ejaculate volume

    I started taking L-Lysine as a supplement because I read that it could help with cold sores. As soon as I started taking the stuff, I immediately noticed my loads were much more substantial, and less viscous. At first I thought I was crazy but a quick google search confirmed that indeed people...

    Split Ampule into 50mg doses.

    Not 2ml, but rather 0.2ml 0.2ml x 5 = 1cc or 1ml Pouring the ampule into the syringe to fill it is a mind field of problems. I can think of half a dozen off the top of my head. The worst my be just the juggling act trying to get the plunger back into the syringe with the test inside. With the...

    Too much testosterone - sexual side effects?

    That protocol he was on was very bad, and the peaks and valleys would be expected. He certainly could be expected to have wide swings in the way he feels, and his emotional state. I'm pretty sure though that it doesn't excuse a person being dishonest, and cause them to throw away their presumed...

    Needle 30 G 1 inch?

    They're not a common size, and take a little doing to find. I got some on eBay. There's a couple boxes on there right now, but the price is not the best. I got a box of 100 for 14.99. The two boxes that are on there right now cost 27.00 and the other is 45.00 for a box of 100. If you want to...

    Heart Palpitations Anyone? TRT Patient For one Year

    I had heart palpitation before TRT, and I'd say they have decreased a lot since starting TRT. Palpitations, I've been told, are very common. It would be good to let your doctor know, and keep an eye on your BP.

    Giving blood

    My local blood bank allowed me to donate despite me telling them I was on TRT. I explained TRT can raise hematocrit. The lady made a call to their main office to make sure it was okay. They gave her the go ahead. If the hematocrit is too high, they won't take it. I can't recall what the ceiling...

    Needle 30 G 1 inch?

    Hello, new here, and thought I'd give my two cents. I was using 25G 1" for a while into the quads. I use 1" because I'm a big guy 6'-6" and over weight, so between the skin and fat layer on my quads I think I have about a 1/2" right there. I use a 1" to make sure I"m hitting the muscle. I was...

    Just saying hello.

    New here, and have been lurking for a while, learning from others. I'm on TRT already, and have been for not all that long. Started in May, then switched to Defy in September. Jaysun.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
