[QUOTE="madman, post: 197143, member: 13851"] I would not even worry about skipping injections just follow through with lowering your T dose and wait for blood levels to stabilize (4-6 weeks) then have blood work done to see where said protocol (dose T/injection frequency) has your TT/FT/e2 levels. Mind you e2 is already horribly low on your current protocol with a whopping TT 1700 ng/dL. Need to look into why your e2 is so low? Not sure if you are injecting sub-q or IM (shallow/deep) or what syringes you are using. Rare one would get lumps when injecting strictly IM (shallow/deep) unless you were not injecting properly or possible sensitivity to the ester/excipients. Mild pain at the injection site can be common when injecting IM but in many cases, it would be from using larger needles 22-25G. Lumps may be more common when injecting strictly sub-q due to injecting too large a volume of oil or improper injection technique. Pain at the injection site should be minimal/non-existent when injecting strictly sub-q especially as most are using fixed insulin syringes 27-31G (6MM/8MM/12.7MM needle length). The main benefits of using LDS (low dead space) fixed insulin syringes are minimal waste of medication (esterified T), virtually painless, minimize scar tissue/trauma, easier to read for accurate dosing especially when injecting lower volumes of oil more frequently. [B]I will follow your advice and inject 50mg every 3.5 days and let 3 days off before starting as I'm already too high.[/B] Do what you feel is best and if you plan on injecting 100 mg/week (50mg every 3.5 days) then switch over to 1 ml (100 unit) or better yet .5 ml (50 unit) fixed insulin syringe (27-31G). The most commonly used esters (cypionate/enanthate) come in 100 mg/mL and 200 mg/mL strength. *The majority are using the [U]200 mg/mL strength[/U]. *If you plan on using a fixed insulin syringe then 50 mg esterified T would be .25 ml (25 units).
