TRT questions

@falc I started with a 31g, same ones I use for peps, but DAMN that took for ever to pick up. Still not doing a harpoon, but went to a 29g and it's definitely faster.

What carrier oil? If it's MCT, you'd probably get away with that gauge. MCT seems to be the way to go for guys doing sub-q and also a daily/EOD administration schedule.

@hunt_ak currently using MCT (Miglyol, I think). I use 29G 1/2" pen needles in a V2 pen EOD, shallow IM in the quad (most of the time). My first prescription was a grape seed oil carrier (hated it, nasty PIP) I used the same size needle, as long as it was room temp it pulled fine.

Here's an older site that shows injection sites, which I found helpful. It does not, however, list VG, which is also an excellent spot.

29G 1/2" for me as well, in a pen. I premix my cartridges (all MCT) with test and whatever extras I'm running at that time, so it's a standard dose every time I pin (currently pinning every day for current protocol).

@jtcjeff Ive been on trt for probably 6 months, glad I did. I get it through my insurance, standard compounded Test C, 200mg/Ml dose is 20mg x 3 days a week. Some irritation, probably the carrier oil. Also picked up 2 grays as well. Both being the standard 250 per ml at 10ml. One from India, much nicer than the compounded. The other I have yet to try, but it's made with MCT and not a seed oil. Good thing these have a long shelf life!
I grabbed the grays only because insurance is known to just cancel shit. So, I wanted a backup plan in place should that happen. Cost was pretty cheap. About $40-50 for 10ml, depending on the source (includes shipping). -

I’m paying $250mo through TRT clinic having it compounded with MCT oil and I’d like to take care of it myself having become quite competent with the blood work, dosing etc. I’ll say w/MCT is the best way to go imop…. No more injection site issues. I’ve also gone all the way to daily IM injections to flatten out peaks hence no need for any AI garbage, no fluid retention etc.

@bangkokiscool Thanks for this, I think. I looked at the biceps injection. NGL, it made my nuts tingle like when I'm standing on the edge of a high spot. That looked like something I'll never do.

@quicksilver80 LOL... so I signed up on the Meso forum. Wow... that place is CRAZY! I could feel the jacked energy through my screen. Had 3 dudes telling me what I should do and change immediately... without even asking why I was there or what my goal was. LOL . Crazy place.
Got my Test. results back. ugh. Total 179, Free+SHGB+LH is all messed up. So i definitely need to do something, just havent decided what yet.
Still only have found QSC for grey supply. If any of you have another option I would appreciate a message or DM.

@JtCjEfF Can someone point me in the direction of this Meso group/forum….my curiosity is peaked.
@HockeyRat Google "Meso-rx". Then think about steroids.
I dont want to link here, as Im not sure i can/should.

I much prefer the MCT over the other oils. Any reason to do IM rather than sub q? I hate IM...
@Newenough NO plans to do IM for me. Not if there is an option.
I ordered some Test C. from a well known grey vendor, received it in about 1 week...BUT they sent me Test E by accident. The vendor is willing to re-ship but Im reading that they are virtually interchangeable, especially with my plan to do 2x weekly subQ. Anyone have any experience to the contrary?

Hammertime65 I just did biceps yesterday. No problem at all, not a drop of blood. Just go slowly which the manual pens make easy.

@matts There are many sources. Here's one that I like with COA, and fast shipping. You can find cheaper from China (ie Tracy at QSC) but some prefer domestic. DM for details.

Should i delete my link? happy to do so.

@bangkokiscool I'd recommend it. We should respect our playground. DM maybe.
