My doctor put me on .75mg of Testosterone Cyp once a week. I was injecting this IM. I developed a lot of fluid on my legs and knees and this got very painful. So, though I was feeling better otherwise, I stopped the injections. Can anyone tell me what might be going on?
I might try SubC injections of 50mg twice a week. Can anyone recommend what syringe size I should use and where to inject? Also, if anybody has any input on why the fluid issue, I would appreciate hearing about that as well. Thank you!
Matty,
How do you draw the Cyp and how long is the needle. Can you tell me where you get these syringes? Also, should the 50 twice a week be enough? Thanks for answering. I still am wondering why I had the fluid buildup on my legs if anyone can give any advice. Thanks!
KSMan, I would appreciate your input as well. I am diabetic and since getting off of the Test Cyp, I have major ED and nothing seems to work. My doctor never put me on HGC so, I don’t know whether that would help or not. How do vasectomies affect all of this? I don’t remember reading anyone asking that. I appreciate everyone’s help.

I draw with whatever needle is on the syringe, I think 21. Injecting EOD has kept my levels pretty stable, I would think the amount you take is highly individualized.
I use a 1/2" 29g no prob SC. I’ve been doing this for about seven years with no issues. Just pull it back, hold and wait. It takes about 4 min to load it.
The fluid build up is likely related to rising E2 levels…you don’t mention any sort of AI. Adding this in should take care of that. Read the stickies at the top.
I tried injecting SC for the first time last week (two injections) after doing IM in my shoulders for over 2 years now and I did not like it at all. I still have hard lumps at the spots of injection and it has been over a week since the first one. No idea what the deal is with that but I don’t think I am going to keep trying it…
I would agree that the water retention is likely due to a rise in E2. Like VTBALLA I also had discomfort with the SQ in my stomach and went back to IM in my thighs. I had serious lumps for weeks in my SQ injection sites and given the fact that I am fairly lean it looked and felt terrible. Good luck as I know many people here who the SQ works well for.

Try another injection site, try injecting into love handles or inject a lesser amount. I’ve had the slightest feeling of a lump two-three times injecting around navel but nothing that was painful to distraction and no lump after four days.
Send a nude picture of yourself and I will circle areas for injection. You said you were a girl didn’t you?
I was getting horrible bruising and nodules doing SQ T.
Then I followed the Chrisler Protocol.
I am doing .12ML EOD T and 250iu HCG EOD.
Using 5/8" 25G needle.
AND DON’T ASPIRATE
I read that asprirating when doing SQ belly shots is damaging to the tissue. Since the switch (and not aspirating), no bruising, swelling, or the such.
It was really really bad before. Bruising the size of a baseball, nodules about an inch long.

All better now. [/quote]
I have been using the .5" 29G 50ML syringes KSMan recommended and it is working out fine using it on my outer thighs. If the EOD recommended dosage is 1mg per week, what does that work out for EOD dosages three times a week. I have been using (3) .1mg pills every other day. I have not been using HCG yet. Where would I get that from? What size HCG should I get and what is the cost? Thanks for your help! I am also using 50mg of IR as my temp was below 97 in the AM. Feeling somewhat better already and it has only been a few days.
I use 26 gauge needles, I inject .33 ml three times a week. I had no luck with stomach injections but now do z track injections into my love handles. after the injection I rub the bump for about 30 seconds. also I found that if you inject more than .33 it is painful.
