22 gauge
And 18 gauge to get it from the vial
Why do you ask and what is your take on the PFS which I thought I had recovered from
Those needles are huge. Switch to minimum 27g man. Lots of people use 29g.
Whether itās PFS or not, all you got is trt at this point. Stick to twice/three times a week (whatever you choose) and inject the same amount every time.
No wonder youāre scared of them. Thatās like stabbing yourself with a poker or something
I use 30g insulin syringes, you can barely even feel it

Let me ask this
Iāve been suppressed for years
I had two weeks
Of 130mg injected
Shouldnāt my numbers and free T be in the normal range already
Like instantly
And if so we donāt we feel different
Whatās the wait for if the numbers normalize
Immediately
Erections and nocturnal much stronger yesterday although libido not really there so itās weird
Is it possible to have an effect on erections a and nocturnals that quickly
I honestly donāt know what youāre saying. Just let things settle down, take whatever dose works for you and quit worrying about it. Itās that simple.
Sorry
What I meant was this
After one or two weeks of injections does someoneās free t and total t automatically go up to normal levels
Like if we did a blood test today a day after having an injection wouldnāt someone be in the high normal range already?
Or does it accumulate over time?
They donāt automatically become normal? They go up or down according to how much T youāre taking and how your body processes it. After enough time, things become stable.
Thereās a ramp up in the beginning as half lives overlap and add to one another. Something like this. This was based on 50mg every other day. Itās not 100% perfectly accurate but you get the idea.
If youāre doing 1 200mg injection per week and the half-life is 1 week then at the end of one week you still have ā100mgā left of that first injection. Then you add 200mg so youāre at 300mg. At the end of another week you have 150mg left then add another 200 so youāre at 350mg. Half of 350 = 175 + 200 = 375. It continues on like that until things become stable which takes some time depending on how often you are injecting
Not sure if that answers your question or not.

That actually does make sense yes
I am doing about 130mg per week right now
So after one week I have about 75mg leftā¦then we add 130 mg I have about 205mg and then it goes down to 150mg or so and then we add another 130mgā¦got it
That makes sense
Iāve just noticed subjectively on injection days Iām having many more nocturnal erections and they wake me up which is fine as well as dreams
Thatās a positive I would think 
Encouraging
Just have to stop reading the PFS shit which I forgot about for 7 years
@ncsugrad2002 @samguy19 would you expect testicular atrophy at 130mg test cypionate Per week ?
I donāt like the idea of them shrinking
I know FSH and LH are basically zero right now and will remain there forever now
Can your testes remain the same size with no input from LH and FSH
Iād say most definitely. Although some report less shrinkage than others.
But youāre definitely shut down in regards to endogenous test production

Yes, though the amount seems to vary quite widely. I have had a little on one side but not very much. 10% maybe? It hasnāt been a big deal to meā¦ though I know some people have more than that
Smaller berries makes the twig look bigger 
Pretty much
Some people donāt really notice any change, most lose some size though.
Sounds good
Why are all you guys on TRT for life anyways
Anyone here actually hypogonadal or just wanted to bump things up?
Nobody wants to merely just ābump things upā
We want and need a better quality of life.
Iām sure i could speak for all us when i say, if we could feel optimal without injecting ourselves for life, we would.
How you doing man
Sound like similar problems as me w the non existent libido and some ED
Howās your progress and erectile function
Hereās a question
Iāve noticed my muscles being a bit tighter
Harder as I work
Out gently ā-Iām not a heavy lifter or really devoted weight lifter āmainly body weight exercise and things like
That
When you are on T, is it a good idea to keep exercising and push yourself
Or does that sort of soak up the T and make it less availabme for other important duties like libido and other health facets
I imagine exercising is better jist for
Overall health anyway and well being just wondering from
A biological standpoint bc itās not like
Our bodies are making the horMone anymore as we are injecting it for life
No. Go about your daily life and try to not be obsessive about this. Take your two shots a week and wait 8 weeks. You wont know anything until then.
My dick is a flounder desperately wishing for water to douce itās gills.
Letās hope that changes at week 8. Iām going to be strong considering creams but iād much prefer to inject because i can buy my own supply whenever i please.
