I’ve said this many times people contributing on this forum need to stick with describing their own experiences. People never experienced this crap and are not a Dr but they make dx and tell them what to do.
I am with you…it is a big needle definitely. I am going to keep with my whale needle because I have quite a few right now. Then I will switch to the 27 gauge insulin needle. My issue is going to be using the 3ml needle and trying to measure out 15mg…My T-Cyp comes 200mg/ml concentration. If I get the cc insulin needle it would be easier to measure correct?
I know u reside in Ohio. You now on the ocean ? Maybe off the east coast? Maybe you are close to me.
@systemlord ok I have some 1/2" 29G insulin needles. Can IM in the outer quad with those needles? Since my T-Cyp is 200mg/ml that would mean that I would be injecting 15 units as marked on the syringe correct? THANKS
7.5 units would be 15mg if from a 200mg/mL vial. You can also try SQ and inject HCG together with test, or inject test IM and HCG SQ. Everybody is different.
OK…my needles go from 0-100 units and is marked as 10, 20, 30, etc to a 100. So you are saying I would do 7.5 on the syringe? Not 15? I think I get it because it is 200mg/ml not 100mg/ml…SLOW BUT SURE
Will a 1/2" needle get me deep enough for IM? I do not do HCG at all. I felt it was causing stomach issues for me.
We do live in Ohio but we have a house where we are now (Turks and Caicos) 
where are you
That’s really nice. Am in Long Island ny
Oh nice! I’m oroginally from greenwich ct
Before you make any additional changes, how are you feeling on your current protocol?
I’m a little confused. Are you running 140mg 3x a week or split into 3x a week. Either way, it’s not right. there is no reason to run long ester 3x a week. 2x a week is plenty optimal but for HRT once will suffice.
You really aren’t on enough test to bloat you unless you are highly overweight. NOt to mention the Arimidex. THat should be taken ED or EOD and dosed accordingly. More on that later.
I’d recommend 200cyp per week, drop hcg (which can bloat you) and either drop arimidex or swap it out for Aromasin.
there is no need for hcg and arimidex is not near the AI that Aromasin is, nor is it healthy long term.
Sorry right now I am doing 140mg split in half and injecting Sunday and Wednesday pm.
My E has been consistently in the 21-26 range with or without the anastrozole. I just feel like when I take the AI I feel worse. @systemlord is thinking I should be doing 15mg EOD. I just don’t know whether to take any AI or just wait until I get symptoms of high E…then dose a small .25mg of anastrozole…looking for some advice.
200mg per week for a guy with an SHBG of 12, really?! You should not be giving advice, this is the T replacement section. 200mg is the upper weekly limit for TRT and will only serve a high SHBG guy who is a hypermetabolizer.
I inject 16mg EOD and feel tremendously better than twice per week.
Ok so I am shooting for 15mg EOD, should I do this with my insulin 29g needle in outer quads? Or do it subq around belly button like Dr Crisler demonstrates?
Symptoms of high estro? On such a low dose you are more likely to get symptoms of low esto if taking an AI.
Then don’t take the advice. He’s taking 140mg with all that other BS.
Take 200 and get tested. If your levels are too high, back it off. It isn’t rocket science and it isn’t going to hurt him. HCG and arimidex… now those are more concerning.
I take 400mg a week cyp for HRT. Yeah, HRT and it puts me at 1120 on the scale (400-1080) total test.

Agreed I think that is what I am getting low E signs when I even take a .25mg of anastrozole…I do not take HCG anymore at all.

That’s interesting. I over respond to ai. 100 mg puts me at 600 total t injecting 2x a week. With e2 mid 30s. I wonder if I up my dose maybe my e2 will stabilize and will not feel e2 symptoms.
Just take the test for a few weeks and see how you feel.
High estro levels are easy to combat quickly but at your dose you won’t see any. I’d bet on it.
I won’t touch an AI unless I’m trying to dry out for appearance reasons or having a BP issue from a heavy cycle.
