just did 1st injection.....couple q's.

[gonejeepin]

So about an hour ago I did my first ever injection. Test E 300.
I did 1cc with a 1" 22g in my right quad.

Immediately after the injection I became super light headed and started sweating like a maniac. So I layed down for about 10 minutes and everything went back to normal.

I did everything by the book, sterilized, aspirated........

Just curious as to if my reaction was just me working myself up too much as I've never really been too fond of needles or was it something else?

Also I was suprised at how much pressure has to be applied on the plunger and how long it actually took for the oil to inject. I figured it would be much quicker/easier than that.

Anyways lmk your thoughts and yes I'm aware I probably sound like a paranoid little puss right now.

[stpete]

You're fine, just a little nervous over your first injection. It gets easier and before long you won't think anything about it. Good luck w/ your cycle.

[MBMETC]

whats your planned pct?

[gonejeepin]

ya i have some 1.5" 22's also and was going to go glute but it just seemed easier and more straight forward for the quad...but yeah I guess I'll have to wait and see what the pain is like tomorrow.

[gonejeepin]

st pete - thank you sir
mbmetc - im about to start another thread, its going to be a log with all the details regarding my cycle/stats/pct and all that, i'll give you the link once she's done.

[MBMETC]

Good nuff

[stpete]

Anytime

[chuckt12345]

nerves,, if you are flexible id go glute.

[scotty51312]

try eating some simple carbs right before you inject. Helps for some anxiety proned people

[Bonaparte]

Yeah, that was just your vagina acting up. It'll get looser...err...easier.

[TRT2010]

get a bowl and fill it with hot water and place your vial in the bowl for a few minutes. this will make drawing the test into needle easier and it will make injecting smoother as well

I think the answer is..
What i got was - Your bodies adjusting to the foriegn horomones coming in.. and its using alot of its resources for that.. Making you more suseptable to illness. i suggested inject vit b12.. As it is benificial for the immune system... -J
Your body tends to act this way because there is a foreign substance inside of it...As with anything that your body percieves as a threat (I.E. bacteria or Virus) it will raise it's core temp, it will produce histamines and it will increase production of white blood cells. That's all it is bro's...Some people's bodies percieve differant esters as micro organisms that need to be killed...Just like some people are allergic to Pet dander, and some aren't.

i woudent do that ,warter hold a ton a bacteria ,get a blow dryer and heat the vial with it ,it will make the oil nice and thin ,this help with pip in some cases and makes drawing and injecing a damm lot better ,dry heat when it comes to heating vials not warter.

I worried alot after my 1st pinning aswell, but i got some good advice here:
-Warm the vial in a hotbath(45 c does it for me), it willy be 37c - by the time you are pinning.
-i went for quads my first time aswell, but after that i found the glutes less painfull.
-Take 800mg of ibrufen the morning after(realy helps!!)
- don't worry about some pain, its normal.(tho if it getts red and/or swollen look into it).

Good luck on your cycle!!!

You always sterilize the vial after a hotbath with a alcohol swab......

[fleck]

is cold liquid injected the reason for the pain the next day?

[gypsy]

should be right by next time, I also got a little light headed on my first (just nerves, etc). I also usually get some hot flushes after pinning.

why bother doing all that and still run the rish of some bacteria being on the vial? Is a whole lot better to use dry heat from a blow dryer.

Give it a try.

imo it is for me ,injecting warm oil helps it to disperse nicely around the muscle ....

[gonejeepin]

well just woke up about half an hour ago, looks like im going with glute next time, im walking like a highschool thugs with some serious gangster lean, anticipated some pain/stiffness but not on this level, maybe ill do some stretching or massaging or something....

The water where i live is quite pure, but even if i would Warm it up with a blowdryer/under my arm ect i would desterilize the whole vial.

Ibrufen will help You with your gangstalean, virgin muscles will most likely hurt a bit the next few ways after pinning. But the pain will most likely go away as You become more seasoned. Just be super hygienic when You pin

My test e is just starting to kick in, i first saw it on my traps.
Gonna start a thread in the cycle section incase You wanna check my
progress since were doing a similar cycle.

Good luck on yours!

I would use warm water rather than a blow drier. There is no reason to worry about bacteria in water. Just don't submerge the vial in it, leave the top sticking out in the air. You are putting far more bacteria in contact with the vial just by handling it with your fingers. Just sterilize the top with an alcohol swab. Also, blow driers can get very hot. You might warm the oil up too much which can cause a lot more pain then having cool oil.
