Get a 25 gauge or even as small as a 27-28 gauge would work, just would be slow to push all the oil out. All you need is 1 inch for most muscles, if you are skinny the deltoids can be hit with a .5 inch no problem. If you dont want to do that you can also just inject into your fat with a 27-28 gauge .5 inch and it wont hurt at all.

Just to let both of you know if you can use your other hand to press your fingers in around the injection site it will distract the nerves so you won't feel the needle. Like I would reach around my back with my left arm and press my fingers into my skin around the site and then inject with my right arm. Never tried it on myself but if you are giving someone else an injection it works everytime. I also always pull in with the needle first right after injecting it before plunging to make sure I don't pull any blood in and if I do I move the injection site just to avoid hitting a vein or large capillary. I also like to wipe the site with a sterile guaze after wiping with alcohol just to make sure its not going to sting just quicker than waiting for it to evaporate on its own.

I asked my doctor for an 18-gauge needle to draw the medication, and I use a 23-gauge needle with a Luer lock for the injection.

@Living with XXY Hello, I am a 60 year old man and I was informed by my doctor that my testosterone was low and that I had to inject myself 200ml of testosterone twice a month. To make matters worse, the my doctor didn't even give me instructions on "How To", and I mean nothing, zip, nada, zilch about "How To" inject myself. So I had to go out on my own and Google it and KZbin it and learn on "How To". First off, I want to thank @Living with XXY for a very very helpful video on how actually do it, my doing it on himself. After watching a few videos, I have to say that @Living with XXY is one of my TOP 3 videos on "How to". After watching your video several times (3 times....LOL), I racked up enough courage to inject myself. At first, I was scared sh*t, just being honest. After injecting myself, I told myself, "Oh that wasn't painful". After injecting myself, I wanted to come back here and thank you. You have no idea how helpful your video is for us first timers. ..... Rick

Your doctor is giving you a useless dose of testosterone. I also assume you mean 200mg rather than ml. If you did 200ml you’d be filling up 200 syringes a month. Anyways, I inject 300mg per week. 150mg twice a week. And my blood levels are right around where they should be. Ask your doctor to increase the dose. But your doctor likely won’t do that because I’m your insurance only will cover so much. Find yourself a TRT clinic that will dose you correctly.

That was smooth, same area I do it in. You really dont feel it at all. I wait a few second before taking the needle out tho, just cause some testosterone tends to come out.

Shouldn’t you pull a little bit the check if there is a blood or not before emptying the syringe?

Hey! I’m just wondering, don’t you need to pull back on the spot before you inject to see the air come out and not blood, with glute injections? Or that isn’t really necessary?

How long a needle were you using? It’s relevant since glutes do have a layer of fat you want to get beyond through so you reach the muscle. I noticed a 23g needle can vary in lengths of 26mm all the way to 38mm which is a pretty wide range leaving a lot of room to hit or miss. I’ll appreciate the answer

I started TRT close to a year ago and my insurance is going to quit paying for it so I will absorbing the financial cost myself. My pharmacy has been giving me the 1-milliliter vials but I noticed that if I buy the 10 milliliter bottle (10 doses or 10 weeks worth) it's a LOT cheaper per dose. However, the CDC says not to use an opened bottler more than 28 days after you first unseal it and this leaves me really confused since that would only allow for 4 doses and the remainder thrown away. Can you clarity this for me since you held up a 10ml bottle?
@LivingwithXXY Жыл бұрын
I am not a doctor. Ive been using the 10ml bottle ever four months since I was 18 and never had issues.
@CaneFu Жыл бұрын
@@LivingwithXXY OK, that's good to know. I just wonder what reasoning the CDC is using that a bottle should be discarded no more than 28 days after it is unsealed. I can only imagine they might be worried about the testosterone becoming contaminated over time but you said you had no issues in all those years so their rule is leaving me a bit puzzled. I actually called Amazon Pharmacy and they cited the CDC rule to me also and said they couldn't even sell me the 10ml bottle even with my doctor's prescription. What supplier do you use?

Great video Ryan, i've been injecting for over 20 years and have had many painful lumps and some times no lumps. ive injected all over my glutes and always injected the needle in slowly, need to do it the way you do but i do have a lot of lumpy scar tissue so maybe wise to do it slowly knowing i'm not gonna hit any lumps etc. where you inject is correct as my ex gym training partner was told this by his doctor. i've injected in my thigh but i don't like it to be honest, also inject in my shoulders which i have a friend do as he just bangs it in in one go. also injected in my pecs but you have to inject side ways into the chest as you're muscle fibres go across the chest. i much prefer to inject in the glute or side delt...

You need to use long blue for your gluteus. I'd keep the needle in for a few seconds after you're finished so no oil spills back out of the injection sight

Have you ever hit a vein? I have been on trt for about a year now but have now come across some needle phobia and keep getting panicked when its jab day as I always hit end up bleeding. I still aspirate every time. Got one of them auto injectors and just find it awkward as I cannot see when I aspirate etc.
