Started my first cycle wednesday. Test 400.

5'10"
175lbs...was 155 when i started
21yo
~10%bf

Injected in the delt on wednesday. First shot so it was of course virgin muscle.

Well it is almost sunday and the redness has spread to about 1.5inch above
my topmost part of forearm.

The redness is also starting the wrap around the bicep as if it is going up into my armpit.

The test400 has been used by two of my buddies with no problems at all. Just a little pain but no redness.

Bottle says "10ml sealed sterile multidose vial" and it contains "USP Grade Oil"

"Benzyl Alcohol .5ml"
"Benzyl Benzoate 1ml"

so it is almost the 4th day after injection. I'm sore. It is red just like i mentioned. It is a little warm to the touch. I'm a little worried to say the least. I don't think i will be able to see the doc until monday morning. I dunno if i should go to the ER or what.

What do you guys think. I hope you don't say cellulitis.

Sounds like a possible infection.

Docs office as soon as you can. But don't stress as hopefully caught it early.

You have gained 20lbs since Wednesday?

[PingPang]

No Big. since i first started working out. I was a puny little guy. That was funny though.

I got that a few times my first cycle..

Seems like the most telltale sign of an infection is the fever. I had the redness, skin was hot to touch...but no fever.

great i am about to run test prop, injections eod now u guys have me scared lol

anytime that redness starts to spread there is a good chance that it is infected. its always best to be safe. go see the doc and get some antibiotics. but sounds like your okay. just make sure that your injections are always steril as you prolly know. but if it happens again then i would bake your gear or add a little ba to it to sterilize your gear.

i was going to say the same thing. he said he was 155 when he started and is 175 now and he took his first injection last wednesday. something dosnt add up here.

[PingPang]

You guys are silly..i was 155lbs when i first started working out a few years ago. I have gained 20 lbs naturally before starting aas.

Anyways. I will be going to see the doc tomorrow and i will most likely try to sterilize the gear and try again.

Ok. so i've read about sterilizing gear.

I'm going to order:
10cc syringe
whatman syringe filter (.2)
benzyl Alcohol
sealed sterile vial 10ml
I already have 18g needles

Procedure:
So let me get this straight. I attach an 18g needle to the 10cc syringe and draw up all the gear. Take the needle off and attach the whatman filter. Attach a fresh 18g needle and then transfer through the filter into the new sterile vial. then i add some benzyl alcohol. About 1% benzyl alcohol and shake it up and wait a week?

critique please. Thanks!
