Re: Testoterone Cypionate- Needle size for weekly injections

[Guest guest]

I use the 1ml plunger with 22GA needle with testosterone enanthate

rather than cypionate. I think its actually a B & D insulin or B12

setup, except for the larger gauge needle.

The needle pushs on the plunger instead of twisting on like the 3ml.

I've worried about separation when removing it after the shot because

of this, but haven't ever had a problem in more than a year.

Hi ,

My doctor prescribed 22 ga needle for me as well, I shot myself just one

time with it. Never again! I was dragging my leg around for a couple of

days and dreaded the next shot.

I then and now use 28ga x 1/2 inch with great results. I shoot twice a

week. This is the exact one I use.

I am able to keep my T level at 783 (last test) and my E2 at 25 using a

quarter tab of Armidex three times a week. When I injected once a week

my nipples were burning. Twice a week is more even for me, and with the

28ga needle it's a snap.

I shoot into the outside of my thigh about six inches above the knee.

I too have sleep apnea. I am overweight and snored before T injections.

Testosterone made it worse, I was waking up with dark circles under my

eyes. The sleep lab confirmed that I have a moderate case of S/A. Using

a mask with perfect results. I would never go without using T, but I am

certain that if I lost 50lbs it would go away.

You say your T levels were all over the place on androgel - was this

high and low all the time?

Most people say can't get their T levels high enough on gels but for

those that can physiological profile is apprently good.

What was your DHT and e2 like on gels?

I've experienced practically all methods of TRT. All except the

current one left me with a T level going up and down like a yo-yo,

week to week. Since I've started using Nebido (1000mg/4ml) slow

release undiaconate, administered every 12 weeks, the highs and lows

have stopped. My level remains high.
