Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Does anyone else use subcutaneous testosterone injections? My doctor has me inject myself 3 times a week with 0.3ml testosteronecypionate 200mg/ml. I inject subcutaneously into the fat layer under the skin on my belly. It is really easy and painless and seems to work well. I use a very fine and short insulin syringe. It is a bit difficult to draw the oil into the syringe and takes quite a while maybe 2 minutes or more. At first I did not think it would work, but the oil does actually slowly draw into the syringe. Injecting is very easy. I used to IMinject and this is a lot less painful and scary. It seems much safer and less invasive. Any thoughts?

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I do something like this I first read in a post by one of Dr. Shippen's men that the Dr. was doing this to keep his levels level and to help hold back E2 levels. I does a 70mg shot split into each time he shoots he dose 35mgs in each side of his flanks every 3 days. I asked my Dr. if I could try this 4 yrs. ago and he said OK but not subQ so I shoot 70mgs every 3 days into my thigh using a 27g 1ml x 1 " lg. needle into my thighs. I also shoot on the 2 days each in between my T shot 400 IU's of HCG also into my thighs. Doing this have been the best way of treatment for me in the last 25 yrs. It keeps me leveled and holds down my E2 levels.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Did your doctor tell you why he did not want you to inject subQ? I wonder if anyone else is using this method? My doctor belongs to bodylogicmd. I don't know if all their patients use sbuQ. It is working great for me, but I can't find much information about it on the internet and would like to hear if anyone else has had any experience using subQ injections. > > > From: <justinjune65@...> > > Subject: subcutaneous testosterone injections > > > > Date: Tuesday, November 11, 2008, 1:32 AM > > Does anyone else use subcutaneous testosterone injections? > > My doctor has me inject myself 3 times a week with 0.3ml > > testosteronecypionate 200mg/ml.

Do you inject air into the T before you draw? I use a 1cc syringe 27G by 5/8 " needle. I find it takes a good couple of minutes to draw my dose. It's test-cyp by . The injection is fairly painless. What I find difficult is the size of the syringe, the tabs could be larger but I guess it'll get better with practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I use a 1mL 8mm 31G short needle BD insulin syringe. It's a really tiny needle. I inject a full 1ml syringe of air into the testosterone and then draw 0.3ml of the oil into the syringe. It does take a long time, 2 or 3 minutes I guess. Sometimes I hold the testosterone vial in my hand for a while to warm it and I think that may make it thinner and draw faster, but it's hard to really tell. I inject sub Q 3x a week for just short of 200mg test / week. My doctor at body logic MD also has me take: Chrysin 1000mg 2x / day Cortef 5mg 2x / day Serenagen 3x / day Vitamin D 4000iu 1x / day DHEA 25mg 1x / day Melatonin 3mg at bedtime Progesterone 25mg at bedtime I was diagnosed with low testosterone and adrenal fatigue. I've been treated since April and I really do feel much better. It's a lot of stuff to take, but it seems to work. > > > > > > Does anyone else use subcutaneous testosterone > > injections? > > > My doctor has me inject myself 3 times a week with > > 0.3ml > > testosteronecypionate 200mg/ml.
