    I think 100 a week is a good start. The clinic said I could use up to 300 a week.

    PERFECT!

    You will need the adex after 6 weeks. If you start getting itchy nipples, water retention...things like that...then you'll know E2 is rising.

    of course the clinic will tell you that, the faster you finish it the sooner you'll re-order!

    according to my clinic they said its more like 1 out of 100 patients who don't need AI, but even that is based on low dose of testosterone , like 100 mgs or less per week. i just don't see how anyone can avoid test to E2 conversion especially doses over 100 mgs!

    Well first shot went well last night. Watched a couple YouTube vids and read a few instructions online. One question though, I drew with the needle on the syringe a 25g. Filled to 2.5 lines on a 3 ml syringe which is 50 mgs. When I unscrewed the needle to put on the 20g to inject with I drip came over and is wasted. Should I draw it back further after I draw and then put the 20g on and remove the air. Btw that 20g needle looks like a monster but slides in like nothing.

    Yes, pull back on the plunger to clear out the needle barrel before you put the injection needle on.

    When I am done, I pull back again and take the 27g needle off and use an insulin pin to draw up what's leftover in the syringe. When the insulin pin gets about 250 iu's I SQ between test injection days to get just that little extra...don't like wasting this precious stuff if ya know what I mean

    GD, I have been leaving a little air in the syringe after I put on my injection needle, turn it needle down and flick the crap out of it till the air comes out of the needle barrel, give a little push till I see a drop, if pinning glutes aim downward just a bit and inject, when the plunger bottoms out that little bit of air pushes the test out of the needle barrel, problem solved.

    Some clinics like the more is better program, simply cuz it means mo $$ in their pocket. Their Anastrozole price on 1mg caps has to be through the ceiling. Next time, look at our sponsor, ARR, and try their Liquidex. More isn't better, balance is the objective.

    I just looked at my stuff the syringes come with a 23g on it already. So I figured use that to draw. And all the 20g's came separate. Is it ok to inject with the 20. I figured it didn't matter. The oil flows nice through it.

    LOL, remove the 23 g. then install the 20 g. to draw, then draw back more as GD suggested (thats what i do as well to get the test out of the needle), remove the 20 g., re-install the 23 g., get the air out then inject! ouch 20g.!!!!!

    LOL, I remember that "rugged" thread last year.

    I still use 25g to pin. Dumped the 23g's about 1-1/2 ago and never looked back.

    I used to pin at one time with 23g. Obviously, it will take a little longer. For me, I'd guess 10 seconds more for 1ML +/-.

    You are correct, their statement makes no sense. Never had a bubble issue, or any other issue.

I felt like an idiot and didn't tell her that I already figured that out with my stupid self-diagnosis.

    Most endo's know that the TSH range is not an indication of normal Thyroid function. Until Recently, the standard that was the normal range for TSH at most laboratories has fallen somewhere in the reference range of 0.5 to 5.0 range, with hyperthyroidism being below .5, and hypothyroidism above 5.0.

    There are newer guidelines, recommending that the range for acceptable thyroid function, and thyroid treatment, shift to a TSH reference range of 0.3 to 3.0, which is a far narrower range as I stated earlier.

    If you want more fire power take a copy of this along when you see your Doc: http://tinyurl.com/5sjx6kh

    Test levels are higher in the AM, so I would do the Saturday night test to get a great idea of the bottom line level of your Test

    not if you are on TRT! i could be wrong, but your natural test production is shutdown anyway, i don't think it will matter what time of the day you go to the lab! however to play it safe i will go in the afternoon in stead of morning! thats for bringing it up!
