injections?

[Guest guest]

Hey JZZ - I do 60 to 80 mg every 7 days which I self inject either into my thigh

or right butt cheek. I rotate the positions each week. It is really a piece of

cake and is the only way to do injections on that fast of a frequency. I use to

use a 22g needle with a 3 cc syringe. This is a big needle but is standard for

inter-muscular injections. I just started using a 25g and 1 cc syringe with a

needle that is 5/8ths inch long. I sink it all the way in and it is much more

comfortable.

Started on AG then switched to injections, have not looked back. First

injections were 75mg

each week with a big 22 guage needle in the glutes at home, wife is a nurse, she

never hurt

me doing the injections. Now i do my own injections.

Now on 50mg injection every 3-4 days with a 25 guage 1/2 inch needle, mostly in

the thigh

but sometimes sub-q in the belly. Also using HGC to keep the boys alive.

Have tried all sorts of injection routines, max was 150mg which 48 hours later

put my blood

level in the upper band of the range. At the low end was 75mg a week, which was

too little.

At 100mg a week my blood levels are below mid-range.

Had a vial that started to give me infections at the injection site so i placed

to vial in a pot

of water on the stove, the vial is upright with an inch or less of water and at

a very slow

boil, the vial will dance around but not fall over, did this for 20 mins and all

was fine

afterwards with the injections. One key item is to place a needle without

syringe in the

rubber top to let the pressure out while you boil it. The needle should stick in

just below

the rubber in the air above the oil.

My first injections were done by the Dr. and were monthly injections of

400mg Depo-T cypionate. I only did this twice, because the highs and

lows were too extreme. The last time a couple of days before the next

injection was due, I had a blood test and the T value was below the

bottom of the range. Thats when I switched to self-injections and I do

them on a weekly basis.

I'm not sure that's a good thing to do. I believe Depo-T breaks down

to different chemical compositions at a certain temperature. The

bottle clearly states to store in a well controlled environment

between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius (68 to 72 degrees F) and to keep out

of direct sun light. I don't believe that the Depo-T mixture would be

any good after boiling. I'm not sure I'd recommend that. If I wasn't

at the end of my vial I would have taken it back to the pharmacy and

asked for a replacement. But since I had used almost all of it up

prior to realizing it was a contaminated bottle, I couldn't return it.

Oh well!

Well that is how they make depot testosterone, they heat it up to melt it and

add it to hot

oil and heat up that mixture.

The melting point of testosterone is 155 F (powder)

Melting point of testosterone cypionate is 208.4 - 219 F

You can microwave or bake testosterone with no problems if done right.
