Can a Peptide Pen Handle Testosterone? I Tested It
-
@Nuncles You can also inject trt SubQ.

I was doing this successfully with a 1/2 inch needle when I did the daily schedule. No problems. I also put it through a .22 13mm filter. It takes patience. But it goes. The trick is patience due to the high viscosity.

I am doing the same thing by using a V4 pen with my TRT. I was tired of backfilling insulin syringes and making a mess. I’m using a 29g x 1/2” from TRUEplus (Amazon). I tested it similarly to what you described although you were much more thorough. I loaded a syringe a couple of times and it looked accurate enough for me. I’ve been doing it that way for about a month now.
I pen 17u every other day for an average of 120mg per week. Just had my labs done and everything looked good as far as my doctor was concerned. I haven’t noticed any changes in how I feel, gym performance or libido.
This is just my experience. I’m by no means an expert in any of this but wanted to let you know you’re not alone in this experiment. It works for me.

@Nuncles I poked IM for maybe a year or so because I was taught that was the only way for it to be effective. I made the change to subcu and have been doing that for years. Labs have been consistent (I run them every 90 days because I'm a freak). For me switching to subq was a HUGE QOL improvement. I rotate injection sites on my thighs

@judgetoo Great info! Thanks for sharing! When Noble and I ran these accuracy tests we held the needle for 10 seconds to ensure the best accurate dose due to the viscosity of T. Question I have is how long you kept the needle inside before removing from the skin?

@judgetoo Thanks for sharing this! Have you tried an auto-injector by chance? After I do a few more months with my current setup, I'll likely try out test with a V4.

@kenhnsy just curious, why would you filter trt?

Mine is all USP prescription stuff. But I found particles in a vial which had to come from the puncture cap. So filtering can only be a good thing for all injectables.

Im currently using a xulin pen for test-cip at 14iu per day of 200mg/ml Sub-q. I use 30ga gluco-care needles and I have to let the needle stay in my belly for 30-40 seconds or so to make sure I dont leave pressure in the vial and an inaccurate does in my belly. I'm a fan of injecting daily.

Are you using an aromatase inhibitor? I've done both schedules and still feel high estradiol. DIM helps. The gurus conflict on this topic.
@kenhnsy I've had the goal of getting off of an AI. I take DIM, but I still needed AI.
I am at a point where I can almost be entirely off of it, but lowered my T dose to 90mg/week, 3x pokes EODI still feel great and labs are good floating around 1050. Just need to keep confirming my E2+symptoms are where I want to be at
