About to Start HRT, Could Use Some Advice -- With Bloodwork

Thank you, Beethoven.

If I understand it correctly, 100mg split 7 ways of 200mg/ml works out to 0.15mL daily. It should be easy to measure tenths of a mL with an insulin syringe, but accurately measuring 0.15mL has me stumped.

If the testosterone is 200mg/ml, which most cypionate is, each 10th of an ml will equal 20mg.
If you're going to split 100mg into 7 injections per week, that comes out to 14.285...mg so just call it 15mg for ease. So you'd be injecting less than a tenth of a ml per injection since each tenth equals 20mg. So counting up towards the first tenth mark, you'd be drawing out in-between the 7th and 8th line. That's going to be nearly impossible to get right on the money so I'd just go with line 7 or 8 and be done with it if you're set on doing it this way.

In my opinion, there's no need to do it this way. Too much hassle and it's just not going to make a big difference beyond two injections per week, which would be much, much easier.

Thank you, Metaliject.

My thinking is that it wouldn't be just two considering the hCG, which I would like to have as part of my routine.

The thought of smaller injections and a daily routine appeals to me.

On the way to the doctor's office now. Will post what happens in a few hours.

Many thanks for everyone's comments. I am excited that I might come out of this feeling better.
