question about dosing/technique

[qkcam]

Hi
i am taking a small dose female size dose of testo E. i am taking IM injections the dr messed up my order of gear and gave me 3cc instead of 1cc.. the enthanate is 200mg.. my dose is 20mg weekly.. i only filled the syringe up to the 2nd line.. actually i think that may have been 40mg on a 3cc syringe? but it seems like some of the stuff stays in the tip where the needle screws on.

i aspirated before i injected and got an air bubble.. dr said that is what i am looking for.. but then i pulled the syringe out a small amount of blood was in the syringe.. i didn't see that when i was injecting it though..

i am a bit confused.. and trying to not be concerned..
any suggestions?
thanks

It's nothing to worry about as long as you aspirated you are ok and if your gear is dosed at 200mg/ml then yes you did 40mg. Are you female?

I believe you gtg, but to make the rest of the cycle less stressful I'd get some 1 cc syringes asasp. Those 3cc are clumsy when running a low dose. Let us know how your cycle turns out Qkcam we don't hear enough from our female members!

yes i am female..but not really taking the testo for a '"cycle" but taking it for the low levels of t i have and chronic fatigue .. this is only my 4th week and i have been feeling much better and have been able to get back into moving my body-- which is key! thanks for the support.. i will try not to worry- and will make sure to get the 1cc's that is what i had but ran out.. and the dr wrote the wrong script.. the pharmacist gave me 25 gauge to inject..so that wasn't bad.. but i need to be consistant with the dose..
thanks!

You do realize the risks for women running testosterone, right? It's not the best steroid for women especially if they like to keep their girliness per se...

It is a low dose but hopefully you're testosterone levels are TRULY low and make sure you are taking the right dose...

You should be fine with your injections...And you don't need to worry about the air bubbles really since you are injecting into muscle and not a vein...

the worst thing that happened to me before when i was taking a slightly larger dose was too many red blood cells.. polycythemia.. and decreased HDL. i have never really been a "girly girl" what is most important now going into my late 40s is quality of life and not having energy to get off the couch and when i was training i could not get any strength gains.. hormones are complex and saddly there are not alot of medical professionals that really know how to treat.. I saw utub of suzanne sommer talking about the medical system vs.. anti aging medicine..

i have tried so many other things.. and continue to take thyroid cortef all were low..
i hope this works.. thanks!

I am a bit confused about the gear.. the dr ordered a 1cc with 22 gauge but the pharmacy doesnt have that set.. so i got a 1 cc with 25 gauge 5/8" was the longest they had.. and 18gauge needle .. so at this point i have to take the 25 off put on the 18 draw the solution then switch back to 25.. seems like a lot of switching.. is there an easier way to do this?

i can't get a decent measurement on a 3cc syringe.. thank you

You could just use the 25 for drawing and pining it will take a little longer but theres no rush.

[qkcam]

thanks Clarky!
i was contemplating that.. last time i tried to draw it up in the 25 it seemed to suck in alot of little air bubbles will try again.. the pharm only had 25g 5/8" which i think will be long enough to get into my quad.. i do have a thin layer of "dough" but only about 1/8" .. so far i am appreciated being on the low dose injections.. i feel much less stressed...calmer- more confident and have had a couple good work outs.. is it odd too feel effects so soon..? the lessening of anxiety is a blessing!

thanks for your support!

switching is the best way. anytime you draw anything up its easiest to use a 18g, barrell.

takes just an extra second to switch but will save you headache of drawing with a small pin.

[clarky.]

After a couple of pins ppl can feel a sense of wellbeing and alot happier my self included.

[qkcam]

it seems like a "mircale drug" to me.. i am hoping i dont get the polycythemia from it.. as i can't donate blood..

i can use the 18gauge to draw then i have to take 25 off put on 18 take 18 off put on 25.. i am trying to keep it simple and less chance for any type of microscopic thing causing infection.

thanks!

wondering if taking such a low dose of testo enthante at 7 days apart is too long? i am on my 5th day out and feeling a low.. i did some labs last week before the injection so that will measure the low point.. maybe i should do half the dose but more frequent? i guess the labs will show?

there must me other women that are using this stuff?
thanks
