Syringe size not gauge

What syringe size in ML are you using? I have 3 ML and it seems big and maybe a little less accurate to dose my .35mg Test-Cyp 200 twice a week. Do you use 1 or 3ML syringes if you are around this dose? I looked and the 1ML syringes seem to be double or more the cost for a 3ML luer lok.

1 ml. Not sure why you are using a 3 ml.

Testosterone enanthate or cypionate are the most commonly prescribed esters used in trt.

Both come in 10 ml vials at 100 mg/ml or 200 mg/ml strength and if anything 200 mg/ml strength is commonly used.

On average trt doses are 100-150 mg/week or slightly higher (up to 200 mg) and although there are some who inject once weekly most are splitting dose and injecting twice weekly (every 3.5 days) than there are others who inject more frequently as in M/W/F, EOD or daily
so as you can see the no one is injecting 3 ml/week.

Majority are using 1 ml syringes and you can even use .5 ml syringes if you want.

I have been on trt for 2 years and inject 150 mg (75 mg every 3.5 days) of testosterone enanthate and had always used 1 ml syringe and a few months back switched over to the .5 ml syringe as not only do I find it slightly quicker when drawing but they are more compact and feel better in the hand when injecting and to top it off for many they are easier to read when drawing out dose.

I just bought 200 .5ml syringes. I haven't tried them yet. I will soon though.


Best change I made switching to the .5 ml:cool:

If I were injecting daily using lower doses I would even try the .3 ml as they even come in half unit markings.....mind you shorter length needle!

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.
