    Testosterone, B12 and HCG all in 1 shot?

    Just switched from cream to shots for testosterone. I’ve been doing HCG and B12 subq. I’m not a fan of needles so I’m asking if it makes sense to buy a 2 or 3ml syringe and put all 3 in the syringe and inject IM at the same time? Testosterone, B12 and hcg all at once? I’d probably have to...

    Need to discontinue nandrolone and just continue test cypionate

    I have some bloodwork. I will have to do in the next two months or so. I ran across the General three week time frame to discontinue show decreased testosterone levels on bloodwork. Is this correct or do I need longer than three weeks off of nandralone?

    American Journal of Medicine bashing TRT

    I thought that I would post the link below "strictly for entertainment purposes". If you read down further on the page, you will see a whole bunch of articles on how awful anabolic steroids are. Talk about hypocrites :( https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(20)30775-0/fulltext

    Measuring insulin syringe

    5. line would be 30 mg right? It’s a 0,5 ml insulin syringe 40 Iu. What’s confusing me it says 40 iu but then on the syringe it says 20 IU?!? So with my math 30 mg on these syringes would be 30 mg.
