    Got my test upped... Now let me ask you this

    My Dr had me on 200mg test C once a month. I know that was no good so instead of 1ml a month I did .5ml every two weeks.. Now he put me on 200mg twice a month so, of course instead of doing 1ml every two weeks I'm doing .5ml once a week... Now, my question for you fine folks is, will I do better by doing .25ml every 3.5 days?

    A lot of people have had good responses with every 3.5 days. Is your doc aware that you've changed dosing schedule? It's going to change peak valley profile of your test and confuse your doc.

    I haven't mentioned it to my doc, no I think he would frown on that and this is the first doc I've found that would treat my 243 test levels... I didn't know if .25ml would be to small of a dose to matter

    It would be better to split every 3.5 days for the main reason it keeps your levels more stable. But it also will help with you estrogen levels, keeping them lower so you may be able to keep them in the best levels.

    Power-my doc doesn't have a clue.. When I tell him (respectfully) I've been doing research. I get the blow off. I'm afraid to be too pushy as I don't want to loose the script..

    use insulin needles..wont hurt much...30 g works, altough others here use 27 bc it's easier to draw.
    ive used 30, and it feels painless most days, and others just a little pain, not sure how 27 would feel, but i dont really want to try.

    I use 22g IM 50mg twice per week of cyp for my TRT

    I couldn't imagine trying to use a 30 gauge, it would take me 20 minutes to push the oil through that thing.

    ator, most people who use that small, go sub q. it really doesnt matter where you get the meds as long as it raises your labs. I dont pin t, i do hcg , but if i were to do t, i wouldnt be doing a 22! that thing is huge. i would be scared tto go to a 28 even haahah but id try it.

    27 or even 29 work just fine for the actual injection, its the loading that takes for ever that's why I load with a 23 then inject with a 27

    Wait, you can inject with a 27g!? Oil based!? Wouldn't it take forever to shoot IM with that gauge?

    I load with a 19 and shoot with a 25, the 25 is good goes in smooth just takes a few seconds to push it in.
