I had a problem with my last cycle (which was my first) where even though I was injecting different spots in my ass the skin all around my ass seemed to thicken to the point where it felt like I was sticking paper clips through the skin.
Needless to say around week 5 I couldn't hit my glutes anymore cause the pain was unbearable and I'd literally start tearing in my eyes when I shot myself (using proper gauge and new needles everytime of course).
So I started injecting in my abs and at some point I around week 7 I wasn't experiencing ANY type of increase in anything.
I assumed it was bunk (even though I knew it could take longer I just lost all my motivation to keep shooting).
I soon learned it wasn't bunk when I didn't do PCT (because I was pretty sure at the time it was bunk or I didn't need to because it didn't kick in). It was a stupid decision because a few weeks later my nipples got itchy and hard at which point I got on Nolva and did a PCT immediately. When I got off the Nolva my nips were still hard. I thought it would be permanent but somehow after about 3-4 months I noticed the hardness dissappeared and everything was back to normal.
I guess I got lucky in that respect.
Long story short I DO NOT like the idea of injecting anymore, call me a ***** but I was thinking about ordering some test base or another form and making it into a transdermal gel but I've never seen if its actually possible to make yourself.
I know about testgel and androgel and the consensus seems to be that you don't get enough test in your blood to actually get a decent affect.
But what I was thinking was using something that penetrates your skin faster or simply using a much higher concentration or amount. I'm not sure whats in the gel but if its in gel form that alone would make me think it can't get through your pores like other solvents could.
Like using grain alcohol for example. In my opinion it would take A LOT to have any kind of affect like drinking alcohol would, but as something to penetrate the skin and as a solvent its just an idea. Theres prob lots of other potential solvents/mixes but I'm not a chemist.
ANOTHER idea I had was getting a crapload of test (I get it cheap enough to do & noone contact me asking for a source) and making a personalized gel or patch of my own that had like 10 times the amount the gel has which would increase the absorption by 10 times too, right?
The same idea as sticking 100 nicotine patches on someone to kill them. The more you use the more that is absorbed.
I don't see why this wouldn't be possible. For the amount I pay for vials I get the powder MUCH MUCH cheaper which I believe would make this possible.. if someone could maybe point me in the right direction. And yes I'd much rather be willing to go through all this trouble than to shoot myself twice a week, sounds crazy I know but I like the idea. =]
