    I don't do testosterone shots. I do a gel that I rub on every night. I rub it on my shoulders, sit shirtless for a while to let it soak in and dry, throw on a t-shirt, go to bed and wash it off in the morning in the shower. This is a great alternative for people who are a little nervous about needles.

    my dosage is .5 and i do my shot every week, i draw out the testosterone with a 22g needle and inject with a 25g needle. i prefer 25g needles because i never actually feel the needle, it just takes a little more time to inject the testosterone since it's thick. i'll be a year on T on november 17th.

    I'm gonna be on T for 4 months in a few days. 1 thing that sucks to be on T for me is that the pharmacy I got to only have 2 needle size, as far as I know, 21g or 19g, and they always ran out of 21g so I had to get the 19g which sucks but im kinda used to it a little.

  • @loco4locos142
    @loco4locos142 4 года назад +1

    I start tomorrow! Monday June 22st 2020 I need to re-check my prescription on how much I take, but I will take it every week, and my injections are SUBQ (Subcutaneous) which means in the fat and not the muscle. So me being a bigger guy I’ll probably do around my belly area and possibly the fatty part of my legs. I am really excited but not really scared of needles anymore because I am extremely used to them but because I know my body will refuse to stab itself.

  • @quaz1855
    @quaz1855 6 лет назад +19

    We do ours almost the same! I draw my T out with an 18g then inject with a 20g. I do 1mL, every 2 weeks- which is odd because I think that's more than you and you've been on T longer 😂. I alternate legs too. Do you find one leg is easier to inject into? Because I feel like my right leg easier because I'm right handed. Love to hear what you think!

    • @MackBayda
      @MackBayda  6 лет назад +5

      A usual dose that my doctor prescribes is 1. I started out at .5 because I was worried about my singing voice, and I wanted to slowly increase my dosage. And, now at .7, my levels are normal, and he doesn't want to increase the dose anymore. So, yeah! As to the legs, I don't think I have a preference. It's been getting more difficult to inject in my legs, because I have so much less fat on them, and it hurts more. So, sometimes I'll even inject into my hip.

    • @JoeCnNd

    i draw with the same small needle i inject with, and dont check for blood. i also kinda stab myself super fast because i dont want to feel it longer than i have to!

    That was definitely an intramuscular needle. That bad boy is way longer than the itty bitty subcutaneous needle I use. I think the intramuscular one would deliver too much ch T to quickly into someone like me with a lot of health problems where T will have to be monitored even more closely.

    Almost every time I nicked a capillary, and rationally, ik I'm fine since I've got thicky thighs
    But there's that tiny bit of worry lol
    Anyway, I've been put with 100 ml every 2 weeks and the administration is actually p similar for me! My nurse told me to grab the muscle in a lil bulge too even
    Only difference is the syringe comes connected to the bigger needle, which lessens the risk of accidental sticks w replacing the small needle (even w cap, jic)

    I'm supposed to do 1.5 ml biweekly but I've changed it by myself to weekly at 0.75 because I've found there is less of a crash that way and it helps with my mood and stuff like acne. I just took mine after not taking for a while (cuz i was scared to lol) and I used to be able to do 1.5 needles and go in all the way but now like you I can't go in all the way so I prefer using 1 inch needles so that I can still do so rather than having to stop part way. If I try to go all the way in my leg will flex hard and not budge past then. I do it in my thigh also

    I’m really scared of needles. I’m starting testorone in 2 weeks and I am terrified. Normally for gettibg shots I use this thing called buzzy which just vibrates to make shots less painful. But I want to be able to do it on my own without buzzy so when I got my blood drawn I did it without and also watched. And I got the flu vaccine and another vaccine without buzzy however I’m still so scared. How much does the needle hurt? I’m trying to build up my needle tolerance but I’m still so scared

    I do a weekly dose of .75 but my vial is 100mg/ml. And I inject in subcutaneously in my stomach.

      If you stop taking testosterone altogether, some of the changes will reverse but if you just want to change from needles to another form, then that's absolutely fine! Enjoy your journey!

    Do you have to do it again if you didn’t push it all the way in until it hit your muscle? And just pushed it in halfway? I already injected the testosterone in though
