    Splitting my injections to twice weekly but have questions regarding filling syringe

    I'm currently on 200mg weekly of Test C for my TRT Protocol. I will most likely lower this dosage after my 6 week bloodwork. I just started this protocol last week so this is only my 2nd week on. My Test is dosed at 200mg/ML so my first pin was 1ml. Piece of cake. Today I did my 2nd pin with .5ml and the syringes my Dr. supplied are very thick. Because of this the lower dosage seemed off. Will I be better off buying thinner syringes to get a more accurate reading? I ask because if I ever cut this dose in 1/2 as many recommend I will never be able to regulate it correctly. The syringes I have, have a large concave plunger making it more difficult to regulate. I'm guessing I go by the part of the plunger closer to the draw than the tip of the concave? This would give me less test as opposed to more?


    Thanks for your help.

    Always use the ring of the plunger for measurement not the tip.

    Just a question ? If you do that will you not run out of the presious Cyp early . I went to a 1 mL syringe every 3.5 days, I inject .25 mL ? When injecting that small of an amout I see oil left in the tip of the syringe ? I see no way to avoid this and if I pull to .25 mL I am not getting all of the .25 .

    My Doctor is just a General Practicner and he recommended 1 mL every other week . I only changed his proticall after much reading on this forum . I made the low dose more frequent injections decission on my own and it was due to the ester life of Testosterone after injected into the human body ? I also do 5/8 in SubQ injections and supplement as recommended to other older men on this forum(I'm 53) .

    This forum by the way, offers more unified information from more knowledgable people than any where else I have found anywhere on the Internet !

    Some or many doctors could learn a lot from this forum if they were open minded which I have found to be far and few between

    I go back for BW Thurs and I will be requesting Dr. Crisler's 16 or 17 point panel . His initial BW panel for beginning TRT.

    From what I've read, some guys will draw a very small bubble of air into the syringe after drawing the oil. This small bubble will allow you to inject all of the oil.

    Not worth the risks if you ask me. If they are that desperate for that extra drop of gear they need to seek help lol

    But syringes that have an attached needle and are labeled as low or no dead space. Most syringes with an attached needle will have no dead space, thus, no wasted oil.
