hey guys...took my 5th injection (100mg/wk) on Thursday early AM. as i

mentioned...after my 1st injection my achey knees went away and have continued

to dissappear. throughout my 1st 4 injections i didn't really feel any different

with regards to libido or weight (gained or lost).

after my 5th injection on Thurs AM i started to feel 'better'...wasn't feeling

bloated at all and actually was thinking about sex during the day as i felt

energetic....and while doing so i started to get a bit excited and even an

erection. i had sex twice during the day and once the next morning (1st time in

a looong time). my question is towards the end of Friday i started to feel a bit

bloated like before and libido/drive was not the same Fri night or this morning

(saturday).

i know it's early to get concerned...i was just curious if this is how it is

when ur body is getting adjusted to TRT...do u get hints of improvement in bits

and pieces before you get fully well? as for E2 rising...i will get all labs

drawn prior to 7th injection (two weeks). i've read it takes up to 6-8 weeks for

TRT to take 'effect'.

anyone share their experience during transitional period? thanks for reading.

Phil you are right again. I used to use a 22g to pull and a 23g to inject. I

tried your

way of going to as 27g x1/2 and it works, just takes a little longer. The

nurse was

the one who choose those two sizes to shoot. I see no need to use both sizes

now either. I find it hurts less and the muscle on my thy doesn't get as sore

either

which is a big plus. I don't know why they suggested a 1 inch needle in the

first

place. She said it because if you broke one you could pull out the needle.

Well

after sticking a 1/2 need in all the way I see no problem with breaking it off

in

your leg. Works fine.

thanks for the quick reply. i hope the feeling i had Thursday day/night is what

i have coming every day! it just felt great overall...felt light on my

feet...energetic. actually was on a 12 hr drive during the day as im visiting

family out of town. wife was all excited as well (who could blame her) yet she

got concerned when i started to feel like before our sex fest. i told her not to

worry as my body is finally starting to adapt to the T medication...and it's

good news that we are starting to see some of the postivies...even if in bits

and pieces. personally though i got scared when the old feeling returned...i

guess it's maybe 2 steps fwd and one back for a while? i figued it's the T is

finally starting to get distributed throughout the my body? also i took the

injection using a 23 guage 1.5 inch needle in the thigh (prior was my

ass)..maybe the thigh is better? either way i'm doing thigh going fwd.

thanks for reading
