    Sleeping much better on Kyzatrex vs injections

    I had been on daily subq injections of T cyp for 7 years. During the entire time, my sleep quality was pretty poor. It would take 30-60 minutes for me to fall asleep. I would wake 1-3 times each night to go to the bathroom (1 was a good night, 3 a bad night). I would average a good 3-4 hour...

    Testosterone “single use vial “

    So my question is if there is 200mg of test cyp in one mini vial what’s to stop someone from using all that 200mg before throwing it out and saving a boatload of money instead of injecting once and throwing it away … does it go bad ? Does it decompose the more you use it ?

    Switching from 2x to 3x weekly injections

    I had my lab consult with Defy today. My HCT is high, partly due to the fact I live at high altitude. Nurse Jill suggested I try injecting testosterone 3 times a week instead of 2 to see if that would help lower it. She also thought it might keep the E2 down to the point I wouldn't need an AI...

    Staying within natural ranges?

    Testing peak vs trough, even with a trough in natural ranges, around 829, my peak is at about 1200. I know that technically this may be the top end of the old range, but naturally, most men never achieve this number, even with high shbg. With my trough lower, around 650, my peak stays in range...

    Just took my first injections

    I took .05ml (10mg) of T-Cyp and 100 IU of HGC. It took me two tries to get the T-Cyp in the insulin syringe. The volume is so small I couldn't even feel it go in. I think that it might be a good idea to buy some .5ml insulin syringes. Easier to calibrate smaller dosages. I thought I would...

    EOD question

    Was wondering with EOD injections what your dose per week equals. Say someone was doing 30mg EOD would that equal 120mg a week? And if you go up by 10mg does that just add 30mg per week. So say it was 40mg EOD would that equal 150mg per week? And so on. Because some weeks it’s 3 days a week...
