    I was referred to a Dr by a buddy. We'll see what the results will be and what he recommends.

        I'm 31 and take one cc of testosterone cypionate 200 a week in one of my shoulders with a 21 gauge 1 1/2 needle. It's simple and I can tell the difference. Plus my insurance covers it so its not bad at all. I urge anyone who thinks they might have low t to get checked

            I'm hoping you typed that backwards. 18 ga is huge.

              Lol. Probably. Ha! It's hard to inject with smaller ga. Takes a while to inject it.

                Funny, I take an injection of it every other week in my hip. I tested at 155 and have been doing it for about 6 months. Initially, I noticed a big difference, but now it seems to have dropped off some. I haven't retested, guess I need to do that.

                  I draw with a 16 and inject with 21. Doc told me as long as it was 1 ml or cc or less shoulder was ok. Anymore than that go to the hip. I was given some 23 gauge to shoot because that's all Walgreens had, they went in smooth but took forever to inject. I stick with the 21.

                      My T is up and down. I tried the gel. Worked great for 6 mths then dropped again. Now I am taking 1 shot every week. Go back in Feb for recheck if its normal. I will start a 3 month shot or injection. like a slow release..

                      If anyone is in Houston/Woodlands/Tomball. I highly recommend Dr. Lilian Woo with Northest Urology. She is awsume. i have refered 6 people to her. Go get your T checked. It may make a world of difference.

                          Doc should've test you every 13 days or so to keep an eye on hemoglobin and T level and increase your dose as needed.

                          My doc said to take 1 ml every week now. I told him why not 2ml. He said NO! Because it can cause problems. Which is why they watch blood work (hemoglobin) very closely.

                          I will have to go back after my third injection then I will know if 1 ml a week works or not. If not, then doc will increase in small increment.

                              mine was better than i thought. 326. It said 270-1600 was normal. That still seems low to me. I dont know if I should pursue it or not though. Sounds like you guys are alot higher than that.

                              My wife said she didnt think she could handle me if i had more T! lol
