There's a much higher chance of contamination with the two needle method of drawing and injecting, though it is probably negligible if you use clean technique. I can draw up 0.25 mL (my current dose) in less than a minute with a 28G needle. I occasionally use a 30G and it's not a lot longer, maybe 2 minutes at the very most. Given the simplicity of the one needle method, I much prefer it, but everyone has their preferences. My motto with TRT, is that if it's not broken, don't much with trying to fix it. I tell my doc that every year when she suggests I try the gel.
Hm I didn't know that about the 2 needle thing, but makes sense if I touch it at the wrong place or something. Also, luer-lock is not available here, only luer-slip, and things can go wrong when I try to take the first needle off, so I think I'll just stick with the 1 piece.
Speaking of the gel, I felt better on it. Maybe it's early to tell, but it's been 3 weeks now with the injections. I'll be curious to see my first BW. Also, enanthate kinda stings when I inject it (sticking the needle in is painless), do u have that with your IM cyp shots?
Thanks again for helping, I always learn something new from your comments.![]()
Correct regarding the higher chance of contamination with the two piece system. Though, if you are careful, the risk of infection should be minimal, just less of a chance of things going wrong with a one piece.
No Pain from T-cyp when I use it at 100%. However, I use a blended T-cyp/T-prop, and I do get some residual dull pain from T-prop. This is a well known phenomena with T-prop. It's discussed in many forums. I have no experience with T-eth. I do find that occasionally, if I go in at an angle, or I simply hit a nerve ending, there can be some minimal and temporary stinging.
