Going on Vacation and Will Miss My Testosterone Shots

Going on vacation for a week and will have to miss an injection (I normally do 50mg Monday and 50mg Thursday of Test Cyp). Since I'll be missing one (or maybe even two of the shots) while I'm gone, does it makes sense to maybe take the whole 100mg in one shot for that particular week while I'm away. Also, looks like I'll be missing an HCG injection as well. Probably ok just to skip the one I miss, right? I'm only on 300iu twice a week (the day before the Test Cyp injection). Thanks in advance.
 
When I travel I've always taken my HCG in a thermos and keep it on ice the whole time, and always leave it in my suitcase when I don't need it so I don't accidentally leave it behind. As long as I remember to top off the ice every 24-32 hours or so, it's no bother.
 
I’ve traveled with my testosterone before and had no issues carrying it on, but HCG can be trickier because it needs to be kept cool. If you don't want to deal with that, skipping a shot while you're away seems reasonable.
 
New York City is perfect for winter holidays! You can enjoy ice skating at Rockefeller Center, see the holiday lights, shop on Fifth Avenue, and watch the iconic Times Square New Year’s Eve celebration.

Thanks to our friends who recommended us to go there by the help of [edited by moderator], the holiday really turned out superb and quite cheap at the price.

I've traveled the world and not once did I miss an injection (including HCG). I hand carry a refrigerated medication carrier and ask TSA to hand check it. As long as it's frozen solid, no problem-o. I keep my vial of testosterone in the box with the prescription label and carry it on. I use 27 gauge 1/2-inch insulin syringes for my T injections. Takes a bit to draw the dose, but easy to inject and dispose of afterward. For HCG, I use the 3/10 cc, 31-gauge, 8 mm syringes. Carry those on too.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
