Interrupting a Cycle - Vacation

[Frenchy93]

Hey guys, I'm new here, I've always creeped the forums but never really posted. (I think this is my first post)

Heres my dilemma, I am going away on vacation from Wednesday Feb 25th-Thursday March 5th. I am currently just finishing up my second week of my 15 week cycle of test e (500mg) and all is going well.

I currently take my shots on Tuesday and Friday, meaning I will miss two shots (Friday and the following Tuesday) I will be in the gym every day when I'm away as I have a gym membership in the state I'm going.

What are my options? my friend says just put vials in my toiletry bag but I'm not risking bringing it across the boarder/on a plane. What will happen if I miss these shots or do you guys have any suggestions?

Just skip the week and carry on when you get back. Try not to miss any more.

Thanks Lov.

Your only choice is to do what LB suggests unless you want to take risks which it sounds like that's not for you. Don't stress, enjoy your vacation .....it is what it is.

[Frenchy93]

Have you ever "taken the risk" yourself? What can you suggest?

And what effects will it have on my cycle?

[lovbyts]

Missing one week won't hurt much if any as long as its not a habit.

[Frenchy93]

Much appreciated again.

Wouldn't it be better to administer a double dose just prior to departure? 500 mg is not unheard of, and maximum concentration / area-under-curve of that scheme makes more sense than simply skipping two doses. Look at both on a steroid concentration calculator and see for yourself what you prefer, maybe?

ive done that before when work sends me out of state for a week during a cycle and it worked out fine as well...OP did you know about this vacation?...im curious why you would start up a cycle if you knew this was going to happen, why not wait till you got back to start?...

[lovbyts]

Doing a double does wont make it last any longer, it will just increase the spice thus increasing the possible E2. I wouldn't do it personally, I dont think there is anything to be gained but that's just my .02

Larger injections will make it last longer. The half-life doesn't change, but the starting point does. For example, a single 500 mg injection would yield a 250 mg active substance after 8.5 days, whereas a single 250 would yield 125 mg of this substance after the half-life period of 8.5 days. As to the spike part, you are correct.

Anyway, the OP can check and choose, I put you the two options so you can see for your self. Both are not good, that's for sure..

Agreed. I was out of country for a week and just doubled my dose to 500mg. I actually felt better all week. Now I'm gonna experiment w one shot a week of 500mg for no on

I have flown from Canada to the US with an open bottle in my luggage, I don't think it is a big deal to have an open bottle of test in your bag, a dozen unopened bottles might be a problem. How do they know you don't have a script for it?

[Frenchy93]

They would ask for it.

[Bjorn Turock]

They would ask for it.

buy a bottle of injectable B12, empty it. Put your stuff in that bottle

The pins go in a ziploc with a cluster of pens, unless you can source them at your destination.

Great suggestion Bjorn, should I disinfect the bottle in any way before putting it in?

Just an update, managed to get the gear with me on vacation in preloaded syringes, without the needles.

Only to find out florida doesn't sell syringes without prescriptions, great! I found out rarely some pharmacys will sell insulin syringes, so after traveling to 4 different pharmacies I found one that would sell me insulin syringes in a max pack or 10. Insulin syringes have half inch pins. I sunk it deep into my quad, hoping it will be alright.
