[QUOTE="German92, post: 7984, member: 342"] Hi all. Right now I take 1 ml of T every Sunday via IM inj, .4 ml of HCG every Sunday and Wednesday and .5 pill of anastrozole every Sunday. My lab results are good and my doctor, who is a bit of a liberal prescriber, wants me to take more T and HCG. I also take a lot of armour thyroid and T-3 because of hashimotos hypothyroid. I'm concerned about my skin and hair. Skin is always breaking out and greasy and hair is failing out more than ever. My reg doctor wants me to quit all which is not an option. About a year ago on another forum when I had the same concerns someone wrote me the following (I was taking more T at the time): I HIGHLY recommend you rethink your approach and go with every 3 day injections of half that amount or less or consider daily subQ injections. When you decrease that dose to about 100 mg/week and break it into about 30 mg E3D, the volume will be so small that you can easily draw up and inject with the one-piece insulin syringes that are readily available at most pharmacies without a prescription. I find that I can easily draw up and inject 0.2 mL of my compounded T blend with a 0.3 mL 30G insulin syringe with a 1/2 inch needle. Painless and it works. Most people here take the smaller, more frequent injections, using a .5ml, 29g to 31g insulin syringe. I use a 29g syringe from BD, it is almost painless. Also, I use less HCG than he does, I use 167 IU Monday, Wednesday, Friday, which works out to 500 IU per week. This is about all you need to prevent testicular atrophy. I would not go any higher than 750 IU per week. Testicular produced T aromatizes at a faster rate to E than the injected T. You are much better off with minimizing the HCG and using the injected T to get your T levels to where you need them. What do you think of this advice? Do you think it would be better to divide doses and take subQ, especially for skin and hair? [/QUOTE]
