Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hey everyone, My nurse gave me my first injection by pinching the fat skin above my leg muscle and injecting into that pinch. Everything I read has said that it should be injected into the muscle itself. What are the negative effects of just injecting into my fat/skin? When she was done, some of it oozed out into the open. She injected 1ml, which I understand is 200mg of Cyp. It seems logical that even just under my skin would have effect as the Androgel I was taking was just absorbed into my skin, but I want to have maximum effect and not just partial. This is the first 24 hours after my injection, and I have felt pretty bad this night. What is the average testosterone level for a typical person on shots at day 1 of 100mgs? Maybe since she gave me 1ml, 2x my prescribed dose, I am either too high, or converting T to E. If that is true...I should start feeling better towards the middle to end of this week, and next week I will inject with .5ml. I just want to do it right.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Hey First it is way to early to make any judgements about your treatment. If you look at the absorbtion curves for injections, you increase for the first 42-72 hours. The peak value will vary but a ball park for 200 mg would be ~ 1500 ng/dl. It then will fall steadily till your next shot. Depending on how long you have suffered low T, it may take a couple weeks before you start seeing the affects. I think most are injecting IM and not under the skin. Are you sure she did a sub-q? If it was a big pinch she probably went into the muscle.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 her pinching the skin is what my nurse use to do but she was using a 1.5 " lg. needle so she told me she did this so the needle will not go so deep into the muslce. Most Dr.'s office's use this size needle and shot it into our butt. I feel your fine and your feeling the way you are is just your body trying to adjust to the shot. I don't feel at this time you can have an E2 problem unless you had one before the shot did they test it I don't remember. But you should feel much better by tomorrow. Can you tell us how your feeling that is bad.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 44 is high I don't feel well at this level and this can be why your feeling the way you are try getting some Indolplex/DIM it's OTC and I had dam good luck on it for a long time. http://www.ritecare.com/prodsheets/PHY-15336.html Also take some Zinc/Copper every morning this is good for men and helps keep E2 down. http://www.myvitanet.com/shopbybranna.html If you try the Indolplex/DIM only take one tablet a day at dinner when it works you will get come dam hard morning wood this means you levels came down keep taking it but if wood stops stop the Indolplex/DIM until wood comes back then go back on it but cut the tablet in half and use this as a gauge to not go to low.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 I now can say that you do need to get your E2 down I had a mess of info about this and the sites that were real good about how you feel when this is high don't work anymore. But your feeling like this is high E2 and you will sleep much better when you get this down. Here are some links I have that stilll work. http://www.smart-drugs.com/ias-estrogen.htm I have now found more links that don't work. High Estrogens are now know to be the cause of prostate problems. http://www.newswithviews.com/Howenstine/james9.htm When I find more I will post them.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Chris- You should release the chunk of flesh just -before- withdrawing the needle. That way it shouldn't bleed. You can usually feel a T shot in about 24-48hr although I've felt relief within an hour or two if my levels were really low.
