Measuring testosterone dosage in syringe

[FeelingLost]

Thanks Coast. In 5 weeks I will have all bloodwork done and will post in the forum.

I too want to wish you luck and look forward to your report.
With everyday injections you really won't have a peak and trough will you? Other than just before injection time.

Thanks feelinglost. I would think given cypionate half life daily injections would produce very stable levels throughout the day specially when given subq.

This will probably sound dumb but if I take .3ml can I use .3ml syringes or should I look to go bigger so that I ensure I get the full dose?

You should go bigger in my opinion. It is safer for your syringe volume to have at least twice the volume that you will inject at one time, or else you risk pulling the plunger out when you draw it. If you are backloading them then it's not as big of a deal, but I'm not a fan of doing that.

I would recommend the 1ml syringes. Anything bigger from my experience is too difficult to measure and draw up with. It is easier to be more precise when you have a syringe with a smaller diameter; as long as you measure the number on the syringe and your needle is also full, then you should get the full dose. The extra that gets lost in the deadspace is in addition to what you measured, you don't need to reclaim it.

Are you injecting 3ml of testosterone?

I use the top of the rubber stopper. When I do labs I know for sure if I'm doing everything right.

Vince....if I inject .15 daily, that's 1.05 cc's weekly and if 200mg strength.....That's a little over 200mg weekly. Is this right?

I believe that would be 210 mg weekly.

Thanks vince! I am doing the same thing.
What about the small bubble that always seems to form and it is hard to get rid off. You just leave it there?

I just leave the little bubble that forms. Seems to be working just fine for me.

I have been on 200 mg weekly, but that was one injection. Of course that was also before I found I had low SHGB. I know you said you do .16 daily and it does you good. I've been doing .15 daily and I'm not so sure it's working for the better. My libido still is in the gutter. I may drop back to .12 and see if it helps? Very frustrated.

I said, 16 MG daily. That’s what a lot of low shbg guys use. Some have to go even lower.

What does your estrogen look like? For me, just a little bit of exemestane(1/4 pill twice a week) brought libido higher for me. I tried a half pill twice a week and that brought me E2 too low and I shot past the sweet spot.

It's harmless but easy to get rid of depending on how you draw/push back before pulling the needle out of the neoprene rubber stopper.

30 mg of T is a whopping dose when injecting daily.

Post labs?

With low SHBG bet your FT levels are very high injecting 210 mg/week (30 mg daily).

Going to .12 ml/12 units is still 168 mg/week (24 mg daily).

Most men injecting daily can achieve a healthy TT/FT level using .07-.10ml (14-20mg T)
