Androgel to Test Cyp - Transition Question

[ripped_82]

Thanks for the reply gentleman

As mentioned above, I'm doing daily shot to reduce sides, and to mimic the daily natural test release the body does on a daily basis.

I used to pin my HCG @ 350 IU X 3/week, switched to daily, and feel better / consistent. And the daily pin is a breeze.

FWIW … I switched too, and the switch is no issue, it's the ongoing maintenance. If you're on HRT, this stuff is for life, and trust me, daily pinning will get old. Many here, myself included pin x2 a week. every 3.5 days. For me Wed night and Sun morn.The only *side effects* I deal with is adding extra AI the day after pinning. I take .5mg of Anastorzol on most days, and 1mg the day after pinning, supplementing an extra .5mg as needed. Same with HCG. I pin HCG the day after the test, because I'm not trying to maintain test levels with the HCG, but keep my boys from shriveling away and it's working nicely. I tried the HCG the day before the TEST, but this works better for me. Lastly, If you're pinning with test, make sure you use a 1" needle and insert it 3/4 of the way in to your thigh, so that it gets to the muscle. I prefer a 25g needle; it slow to draw from the vial, but not nearly as bad to inject as one of those 18g basket ball inflater needles; which will also develop more scar tissue. Pinning daily does have it's draw backs. The injection site needs time to heal, so I switch sides each time. Left leg on Wed and right on Sun. As a result, I'm only injecting in the same location once a week, giving it time to fully heal and mineralizing scar tissue. You may not think that matters now, but 10-20 years from now you will.

Best of luck.

I think injecting hCG the day before is to mimic the way the body works. T is released in response to a request from the pituitary.

I am curious how doing it the other way works better for you.

You might try subcutaneous. The daily injections keep the doses small, and life is good using 30g needles.
