    leaving needle out over night

    I leave early in the morning and was hoping to set the needle up tonight with the cypionate so I can just wake and inject rather then go through the process of drawing then switching back to other syringe. I'm fairly new at this so I take my time with drawing up the needle.

    So my question is there any issue leaving the cypionate in the needle over night and then injecting when I wake?

    no as long as you put the cap back on the pin and put it in a ziplock bag or something...

    this is called "preloading" and is a common practice.

    cap back on over needle, and for me, back in my fridge in my room.

    good question!

    i agree with Vette, just make sure you don't store it in the refrigerator! in time you will do it with your eyes closed... i do SQ and it takes me no more than 2-3 minutes to draw and inject.

    Thanks guys, I will cover it before I go to sleep. aWesome.

    So SQ ok to go with Cyp? How do you inject it with a 30 or 31 gauge? I been told due to the oil in the cyp you cant go with that small a needle?

    cold storage is a no no for long term storage so it doesn't crystalize. He said overnight. different.

    but not in the fridge is ok.

    I know I must be doing something right when people are agreeing with something I haven't even posted yet. Just ribbin you bass, you were probably referring to TR. Him and I are a lot alike, just that he's much older ...

    A bit OT but...

    I haven't noticed any expiration date on my hCG vials...I will have to re-check.

    I have always had the understanding that this water based peptide has about a 90-day potency window and was not aware that pharmacy grade could last years.

    I guess it begs the question; what's the difference in the peptide that would cause a longer half life if pharmacy grade or not?

    And how are you defining pharmacy grade...would this include compounding pharmacies?

    The reason I asked is because my base pharmacy says they have to prescribe one bottle per injection (they say they cannot reuse the same bottle for multiple injections)!!! So after I have the doctor rewrite the prescription to reflect I inject twice weekly (only shows once weekly now) I will be getting 8 bottles of T cyp for a one month supply (yep, one bottle per injection)! I will only be using 2 bottles because I have no problem using one bottle for 4 doses (2 weeks worth). Looks like I will be stockpiling 6 bottles/month of T Cyp which will make it very hard not to try a cycle once I get my fat % down. By the way, how low should bodyfat be before cycling T -Cyp?

    The shelf life on the bottle is what the FDA and the drug companies have agreed upon, and has little to do with the shelf life of Test Cyp in a veg oil base. This keeps the drug companies, pharmas, doctors, etc happy, because everyone of them makes more money this way.

    Test Cyp in properly capped and stored bottles will last 5 yrs with no noticable deterioration, up to 10 it will usually be stable and usable however some potency will be lost. Conversly once you stick a needle in it and pierce the septum most pharma's, doc's etc like to have a month to two month max storage...depending on the size of the needle, technique of the user, and storage area this may be about the max you would want to keep it.

    As far as bodyfat 15% is ok, 12 is much better....however it really depends on the individual and of course the main thing is to have available and prefferably use an AI to control aromatization.
