Alright man tomorrow is my first start to new regime I’m either doing 100mg every 3.5 days or .14 every day…my pharmacy has 25g 1/2” insulin syringes will these work?
Hey katfish. I pin 17mg EVERY DAY, SubQ, with a 30G 5/16" insulin syringe so YES, it works and no pain at all.
I pin every day because of LOW SHGB of 15 but I actually love the whole process and ritual of my morning coffee, supplements and PIN! LOL What is your SHBG?
The 25G in blue one on top of the bag of 30G is what I used to use when twice a week and I was new to all this and didn’t know smaller gauge works just fine.
Hey bud great to know I think I need to do every day as well my sb was at 8 on my last blood test.
Holy frig… ABSOLUTELY! Pin erry day, all day! LOL
I know right ahhhh…do I stick with 200mg weekly and break it up to 14 daily or lower my dose?
Your SHBG is 8 which is very low, injecting large doses will drive estrogen sky high and SHBG down, you need to pin everyday. My SHBG is 16-18 and I’m about to start pinning everyday because I need to gain control of estrogen, smaller more frequent doses will only do good things for you.
Your levels drop quickly within 1-2 days after an injection, so pinning everyday is important.
Perfect I’m going to start it tomorrow morning and will keep y’all updated. Should I stick with .14 a day so that will be 200mg a week or do less because it’s everyday? That’s the only part that I’m not understanding…
Shoot also help me in this question. End of sept I’ll be going out of country for a mission trip I’ll be gone for 1 week and will not be able to pin daily due to sanitary conditions, for that week should I do a weekly dose or no pin at all?
I’m going to do 10-12mg daily, that’s 70-84mg weekly. You need to clarify whether you have a 100 or 200mg vial.
I’m injecting from a 10mL 100mg vial, so 10 units using the insulin syringe equals 10mg. If yours is a 10mL 200mg vial, using an insulin syringe you would fill to the 5 unit mark which would be 10mg since your testosterone prescription would be double the strength.
You cannot inject 100mg do to low SHBG, just take alcohol swabs with you and clean the skin well, also take your prescription label with you so you can show you have a medical need for it. I have a travel hard case with my prescription label tucked in a sleeve, that way if customs stops me I can show them.
What country are you going to?
Sorry 200mg 1ML bottle…using 25g 1/2” slin syringe…Haiti
Are you having any high estradiol side effects?
Yes I was or at least thought I was, didn’t matter how high my test levels were I was feeling like shit and low libido. To clarify my attachments on Feb 5 I went to primary for yearly check up T was at 588 which was the day before I needed to pin and on Feb 20 went to Uroligist which pulled another lab which was right after I pinned and test levels showed 988…that’s why there are 2 different test levels on my attachments sorry. Few months ago my estrogen was at 209 and my yearly last month showed 150ish don’t think that’s the right test to run though? New doc put my on half a pill of Arimidex every other day. Started this 2 weeks ago and so far feel pretty good.
Are they 1mg tablets? Brand name, assume they are 1mg?
Arimidex 1mg taking half of one eod
Someone want to ask your doctor why he thought it good ideal to test Total Estrogens and not even bother to test FreeT?
You need actual estrogen test directly, Free T is bioavailable, and Total T isn’t.
