LoL!!Jesus how is this thread 15 posts long?
We’re just confusing people at this point.
.4ml = .4cc
I know its ben awhile since posted but u will never get test into that small of a syringe. Plus Test is an IM (in the muscle inj) & those tiny insulin syringes dont reach muscle. U need a 1-3 CC syringe w/ a 1 inch needle. Prob 20-23 gaugeI just received my medication and I'm a bit confused. I have 2x 5mL bottles of 200mg/mL test cyp. I am on a .1ml daily dose (which should be 20mg daily) I purchased easy touch u-100 27g .5cc 1/2" syringes per a suggestion in another thread. Problem is I'm sadly getting completely lost in the math of this. If my math is correct I have 2x 5mL bottles to make 10mL total. Each bottle is 200mg per mL so that's 2000 total mg of test between both bottles. Dividing that by my daily does 20mg is 100 doses which will get me to my next consult at 90 days. 10mL of liquid divided by 100 doses works out to the .1ml daily dose I was prescribed. With these being .5 cc/ml syringes is my dose the 10 marker? I don't know why if the syringe is .5cc/ml they would label the side 5/10/15... 50. Why not label it .05/.1/.15... .5?

So I’m starting my first cycle of TRT and I will be injecting subcutaneously EOD.
I understand some people use insulin needles, I’m not super comfortable with the idea of drawing and injecting with the same needle.
I’ve been looking for 0.5ml lure lock needles but haven’t found any. I’m likely going to do 27G 1/2” for the stomach fat. I’ve found 1ml lure locks but I’d prefer the half ml for exact dosing purposes.
Can anyone provide some insight?
