[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 223450, member: 16042"] 1" 25 gauge ARE NOT NEEDED! Do yourself a favor and try tiny needles. You will find those who will argue for, and want to use big needles, and plenty of discussion about intramuscular injections vs Subcutaneous, but the best thing is to try SubQ with insulin syringes. If it works for you, you are set. Many of us have been doing just fine this way. I personally use 5/16" 30 gauge insulin syringes for T-cypionate in grapeseed oil. I have never used T with a cottonseed carrier oil, but it can be thicker viscosity and 29-27 gauge can be warranted. Also: It is very common that injections into the thighs really hurt. For SubQ, There are several regions that work easily. I alternate SubQ left and right in the belly fat around the umbilicus, love handle fat, and all around the glutes. None of it goes IM. Some prefer into the dlets for shallow IM with 1/2" needle. And regarding Arimidex, two things: First, your lab results indicate you are using the lab test for women, which often is not a good representation for men... ie. you might be going on questionable results. Next time use estradiol "sensitive" LC/MS/MS nethodology Second, a little Arimidex can go a very long way. I was mixing it down to administer essentially in micrograms. I crushed one tablet into 10ml of vodka, and took only 0.6ml per dose for .06 mg every other day, for less than 1/4 mg/week which was enough to drop my E2 by 10 points. Answering your question about this, even a single dose at 0.5 or 1mg can tank a man's estrogen... you need enough estrogen! search this forum about estrogen/estradiol crashing. [/QUOTE]
