    You will get used to it. Make sure you alternate legs every week, but the muscles will get used to it, mine don't get sore anymore.

      How long before you notice a difference? I did a half ml yesterday. The doctor said I'd probably be around .75 ml/week to get me where I'm supposed to be.

        I inject .9cc weekly and I notice a big difference. I've been on testosterone therapy for several years now so hard to say how soon you notice a difference. Probably a week or so for your body to adjust, but your levels should go up pretty quick after the injection.

            I'm 47 and I just tested at a 232. It looks like my Dr. is going to be willing to give me the shots or set me up with a script. As has been said, BCBS doesn't cover the pellets.

            I think I'm going to give this a try and see what happens. I do work out 3-4 days a week and my diet isn't perfect, but it has gotten alot better.

              I do see a change for about three days after the shot. Alert and Metabolism increase, but I react to B12 shots really well and the LIPO C is basically half a shot of B12.

              I would say try and see how it effects you.

                With United Healthcare, Sam's is $11 for my test injections, and 25 cents each for the syringes.

                    I spoke with my primary care physician about testo about a month ago. He told me he rarely treats to what the "number" is but rather the symptoms. He said he has guys in the 750s that feel like crap, etc and guys in the high 200s who feel great with no problem areas. So in other words dont get stuck on what "normal" is or isnt. Im towards the low end of normal and based on our conversation he didnt think I needed it just yet. Good luck.

                        My starting dose is 1cc every two weeks. I think I'm going to follow the advice here and split that into 0.5cc once a week.

                          I have a friend who does his injections every 2 weeks. He is wired and kicking *** the first week and by the next Monday he won't leave his desk and is moody. I do mine .5 cc/ week and do them every Friday morning. I peak out and feel my best on Monday and start crashing on Wednesday.

                            I've been doing 1cc every two weeks of Cypionate injection for few months. First couple months it seemed to really help. After first 3 months went back and had gone from 180 to around 400. Doc said that was in acceptable range and if not any higher after few more months might go up a lil. Seems like over last couple months have gone back down with getting tired and just not recovering from workouts and such (I don't mean really hard workouts either. First couple months I was recovering in 2 days from 1 1/2 hour workouts in the BJJ gym. Not now!). Last 3 times I've taken it, I swear over the next 4 or 5 days I'm almost worse. Tired and sore with aches that don't easily heal. The last few days before shot, I'm almost feeling better than the first few days after shot. Gonna schedule an appointment next week with Doc again. Just curious if anyone else had anything similar? Thanks
