[QUOTE="Mike Blasius, post: 50197, member: 14037"] Hey, I'm Mike I'm 25. Went to the doctors feeling real tired and no appetite, ect. Test levels came back total: 190, free 18. I wanted to retest before starting therapy so I ate and slept really well and cut out booze for a week. Well, total- 48. Free 19. So that was that. Wanted to put me on Androgel 1.62. Insurance didn't cover it but I bought the first month hoping insurance would decide on my appeal before a month. They decided they will not cover it for me because my BMI is over 30. By the time I could get it under 30, I'll be on a different insurance plan anyways. So I went into the doctor and he gave me Test Cypioniate 200 mg/ML. He showed me how to do it and I grudgingly rammed a milliliter into my thigh. You can definetly tell when your in deep muscle terroritory, it hurts a little. My doctors instructions are to inject a whole milliliter (200 mg) into deep muscle once every 21 days. Now all the reading I've done indicates for much more frequent and smaller injections. 7 days after the 1ML shot my test numbers were up- total 453 and free 29. I feel a little better, but nothing amazing, I have bipolar II and the meds I take not only roast T levels but also make me feel a little different day to day as well. I do notice I get morning wood sometimes and i eat more, generally slightly better mood. I asked another doctor if this high dosage low frequency routine is normal and he said yes. So.... Does that work for anybody or what? 21 days? Also it's like day 12 since the shot and just now a little zit looking thing has appeared where the needle entered my skin. It's only very slightly painful when touch. Does not appear infected but it's definetly not a zit or ingrown hair. Idk, that's literally the first time I've put a needle in my own body so I just wanna see if that's OK. Thanks, Mike [/QUOTE]
