Daily Injections - Preloading?

[S1W]

For those of you that inject daily: do you preload your syringes? If so, how far out do you preload - a few days worth? A weeks worth?

When I have done daily injections I have not pre loaded. However I switched from daily to twice weekly and I noticed no difference.

 

[Sean Mosher]

I pre-load for the entire week on Sunday (1 week at a time).

Thanks. How long have you been injecting daily and preloading for the week?

 

[CoastWatcher]

I pre-load for a week at a time when I travel or have meetings starting at an absurdly early hour. Probably two weeks out of every month.

Nearly five years of daily injections.

I can only get 1ml amps, so I pre-load one insulin syringe and just switch out the tips. I inject EOD at 25mg. Have been doing it for years. I have read some places that its not safe to do that, but havent had any problems.

How do you do on that dose? It seems fairly low.

Feel good. It may be between 100mg-125mg per week. I do perhaps 37mg twice a week. But at 100mg my tt was 750. At 125mg a week. It was at 900

I've been doing daily injections now for about two and half years. For me pre-loading is not necessary, it doesn't take much time to inject that small amount of testosterone.

I preload 5-7 for the coming week, it's simply on less thing I have to do in the morning at the bathroom sink. I can swab, shoot, and go.

 

[mooseman109]

I do daily and occasionally preload. I do 12 mg and it takes about 22 seconds to draw that up. i swab top of vial and then skin. By the time i have drawn up skin has dried.

I was referring to where you said you inject 25mg every other day. That would be 87.5mg per week.

NO...Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun...100mg...that's a week

That is 100mg.... that week.
The next week when you inject tues, thurs, sat; that is 75mg.

Right...my bad...anyhow...its enough...

That’s good.

It’s amazing though how many men use a relatively low dose and have a relatively low T level then complain that TRT isn’t helping them.

My recommendation would be to have a free T level at the top of the range. Men with high SHBG will likely need to have a total T level above the top of the range to get that.

So do u use the same needle or switch every injection?

I’m not sure to whom you are directing your question, but as for me, I never use a syringe/needle more than once.

 

[MarkM]

I’ve been injecting daily for 8 months and I preload a weeks worth each Sunday.

Do you change needle every new injection?
