    Will I benefit more if I switch to EOD

    I think the results are great especially considering you have low SHBG. I just started 80 mg every 5 days and I too have low SHBG. I will get my first set of labs in 6 weeks or so. Did you get tested on injection day prior to injecting?

    How should I start on shots?

    Is 80mg every 5 days a lot with low shbg? That's an average of twice weekly.

    How should I start on shots?

    My last dose was Wednesday and I'm due again for Sunday. Should I wait at least a week to give time for the previous doses to lose effect in my body or go ahead and inject Sunday with the new dose?

    How should I start on shots?

    Man I just got a reply from dr and want me to do .4ml every 5-6 days vs the 50 twice a week. That may be worse then 50mg twice a week.

    Thanks! Thinking the shbg and e2 may be elevated is stressing me out. Can't wait for labs.

    How should I start on shots?

    Sorry for the confusion there. When I said I called my doctor to see if I can do 100 weekly, I meant 50mg twice a week, so 100 total each week.

    How should I start on shots?

    I am not doing the once a week I am doing the 100 twice a week but I called the doctor to see if I can do 50mg twice a week instead. I understand what you say about EOD or every day shots but I first want to see what twice a week is doing. Preferably on 50 mg twice a week.

    How should I start on shots?

    I took a dose of 100 at my doctors office on the 22nd, then at home 50 on Sunday and then 100 on Wednesday. Why? Because I changed my mind from 200 to 100 back and forth. I just called my doctor and asked to do 100 weekly instead or 50mg twice a week.

    Can Cypionate make you restless? Since I started over a week ago I toss and turn and can't sleep. Was wondering if this can happen and if it goes away.

    I was reading the Cypionate has a risk for heart attack, liver cancer and hepatitis. How true is this?

    How do shots work with low shbg? From what I understand if shbg is low you carry more free T. Having said that won't more shots raise free T even more?

    How should I start on shots?

    I'll definitely continue at 50mg twice weekly. Yes I know EOD or everyday may be better but I want to first use this as a trial twice a week and see what my first set of labs show.

    My e2 sensitive is 27 and testosterone on cream 778 or so. I think I'll be honest with her and continue my 50mg on Wednesday and Sundays.

    How should I start on shots?

    I will. I may even just do 100 weekly see what labs show. I'll tell dr I was afraid to start high idk. I was on 200mg daily on the compounded cream but I'm sure the dosing is different with shots.

    How should I start on shots?

    To clarify. I called my doctor and instead of 50 mg twice a week. She wants me on 100mg twice a week. I was confused on the dosage because in the office I thought it was 100 weekly but its not. Is 200 weekly a lot?

    How should I start on shots?

    Well I did my first shot on Sunday. While I had to psych myself out it was painless will the 25g 5/8 in the thigh. Im sure Wednesday it will be easier lol.

    Wow that's scary. Based on the thigh picture and instructions I look at my knee and draw a line from the middle of the knee all the way up the thigh and inject right midline? Outer or middle thigh is ok?

    How should I start on shots?

    Do I need to pull the plunger back some to see if there if blood going in to make sure I didn't hit a vein? What happens if I inject on a vein by mistake?

    How should I start on shots?

    Thanks for the info. Since I currently have 25g 5/8 I'll stick to that. I figure 5/8 puts me in the middle not too short or too long. Again I can use 5/8 on the thighs twice weekly and still avoid scar tissue?

    How should I start on shots?

    Well I may just stick to what the pharmacy gave me which is 25g 5/8. They gave me a different size then what dr mentioned. Should I stick to what I have 25g 5/8 or exchange for 27 5/8?

    How should I start on shots?

    My doctor had said since I plan on doing the thighs it has to be ay least 1 inch long to reach the muscle. My thigh though is sore because I had gotten my first shot in office with a 22g 1inch. I'd like to inject thighs but avoid soreness.

    How should I start on shots?

    I see. You had quoted a different one. She said T should help prevent CV disease but for people who have already CV disease shots can make it worse. I don't know as that is just an opinion like any other opinion. I will just continue the 50 mg twice a week and see how my levels are. That is a...

    By a few weeks I meant the time frame of repeating labs in 6 weeks to 2 months. Per her orders. There is nothing incompetent about that.
