Testosterone Cyponiate injection

[123roberte]

Hello all, I'm new to the site and have one question at this time. I'm sure once I get comfortable more will pop up. I have been doing self injections at 200mg per pop. My doctor scripted me allowing me a very conservative script of a 10 month supply and one injection every 3 weeks. This was due to having my blood work testosterone levels show "85" for 3 consectutive months. I have given myself the injections at alternating sites (left hip / right hip, left glute). So far I feel no great benefit, if any at all. I will be getting another blood check next week..... I'm using an 18 gauge needle, 1.5" long. I'm 240lbs 5'10 male....meaning I'm not all that thick.
I'm curious to know what would happen, if by chance, I missed hitting the muscle? Also does anybody have input or advice on how I can improve the continued lethargy, bad mood, barely no sex drive...yada, yada, yada...Please help & soon. My wife of 26 years (tomorrow 5/8/08) doesn't deserve this.....& neither do I.
Thanks!!!

first off bro welcome..
why the hell are you shooting yourself with 18g needles?? you like pain???
anyway i highly doubt you are missing muscle. how long have you been on HRT?

[poppasquat]

this would be better in the HRT/TRT section. how long have you been taking the cypt??

[poppasquat]

and if you miss the muscle it would just take longer to absorb the gear , say you shot into fat.

if you hit a vien.....youd know....

Thanks for the direction. Going on my own (against doctors conservative advice) 6 weeks

so what exactly is your injection schedule??

[shifty_git]

200mg every 3 weeks? thats less than you produce naturally.

thats what i was thinking.

The doctor scripted me with 25 ga. 5/8" length, but could suck up the thicky oil though the smaller diameter needle....Pain's no sweat at all...Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

i thought in most trt cases you shoot once per week at least 125mg of test per week??

200mg every 3 weeks? thats less than you produce naturally.

hrt generally shoots at that. ive seen clients get prescribed 200mg a month. If you shot much more than that your going to get shut down, the opposite of what you want for hrt....

[NATE0406]

if you dont mind the pain then more power to you bro..but you could always draw it up in a 18g and shoot it with a 23 or 25g. but anyway what is your injection schedule. are you only injecting once every 3 weeks or are you injecting more??

[123roberte]

That's why i say my doctor's too conservative. I will most likely move on to an Endro doctor soon. But I have a 1/2 or better vial remaining & I would like to at least give myself a fair shot (pardon the pun) at feeling good as soon as possible plus I could at least give the endro doc some productive info.

So you are saying if you shot more than 200mg per 3 weeks you would shut down?

[poppasquat]

in all due honesty im not a doctor or endocrinologist(only a personal trainer). but id say yes. its better to take the prescribed dosage(known to be effective) than to shot more and mess yourself up. if more was needed then theyd prescribe more to you.

but yeah move on to the endo, see what he says

Get shutdown? The reason we are on TRT/HRT is because we are shut down, ie... we don't naturally produce enough testosterone to keep us heatlhy.
Without TRT my natural level is 97, with TRT @ 400mg/month my test level at last blood work was 1024ng/dl. What do you think TRT/HRT is for?
