[QUOTE="rharvey, post: 159145, member: 39375"] I've been on gel for 7 months and progressed to subq this morning. Using Test-Enanthate and will pin EOD 0.25ml for a total of 1ml/200mg test per week. Yes 200mg is a lot to some but need to see if it will drive my SHBG down. So, using a 29g insulin needle, I battled to pull the esther into the syringe. I'm standing there bleary-eyed first thing in the morning thinking wtf how am I going to pull enough in for my injection? [B]Any advice here is appreciated.[/B] It took me about 10 mins to pull enough in, after injecting air into the vial and pulling like 20 times, I finally drew up 0.25ml. After swabbing with alcohol I was surprised how hard I had to push to get the needle all the way in. No pain at all, and I was expecting at least a little pinch. Pushing in the esther was easy, took about 15 seconds. About 3 hours later, there is the slightest almost unnoticeable tenderness at the site next to my belly button. Overall a very sustainable way for me going forward - have definitely overcome my fear of needles. Lastly, will drop to a 27g needle to make it hopefully easier to draw up the esther - [B]any comments[/B]? [/QUOTE]
