Testosterone ?

[BBB2.5]

My Doctor has put me Testosterone, my current levels are low. I know it is thicker than liquid. In he past I have used it the past mixed with B-12. Thought that was to thin out the testosterone, making it easier for injecting. My Doctor told me no, the B-12 was for increased energy. Have any of you just injected testosterone by it's self?
Thanks

I know a few of my friends that do use Testosterone treatments by injection and never have had it mixed.

yea you will have no problems with rx testosterone. if you feel its so thick it is making injecting more difficult, put warm water in a cup and put your syringe in a plastic bag and into the water to heat and thin the oil before injection

I have never heard of mixing B12 with testosterone to make it thinner for injecting. Injecting one and then the other...yes. Are you self injecting? Needle size may be a factor as well. 21ga X 1 1/2 inches performs nicely. Warming the oil like dfresh3 said will definitely help.

Self injecting? .... No, to chicken to stick myself, so my husband is doing it. ...lol....like I stated above, this is under Doctors care. I found out, that it was just for increased energy, nothing more.
That is the size needle being used, but I will try the warming it up first.
Thanks for you input.

cutting with b12 is a last ditch effort by under ground lab steroid users to cut the potency of poorly made products with another oil to take the post injection pain away that is common with the ug labs high benzyl alcohol content to keep the product sterile. no need for this with high quality prescription stuff.

I'm not using underground Stuff...This is under Doctors care.... Like I stated is was mistaken about the B-12.

I inject Test Cypionate every 10 days and I've found that taking the vial in the palm of your hand and placing the other palm over it and rolling it for a minute or two is real helpful in getting the Test easier to inject. I use 18 gauge for draw and 25 gauge 1-1/2" needles to inject and alternate from my left shoulder and both quads.

Fortunately, my insurance pays for the more expensive patches or gels which apply to the skin. Far better to apply daily for an even result.

Ok, but you are missing the point. What then, in your mind, other than cost, is the advantage of injecting vs. skin application?

The only advantage to injection over transdermal is price. Injectable is far cheaper. Usually with maintenance injectable use you inject once or twice a month. That means you have peaks and valleys as far as your testosterone level goes. Transdermal, applied daily, maintains a steady level of testosterone in your blood. Mind you, this is for medical use to correct a low T level. This has nothing to do with using testosterone as a body building aid.

Yes, exactly what I thought.

I am injecting once a week as prescribed by my Doctor. For me is is to increase Low-t, and over better health. I don't have an issue with doing the injection. I do not have to pay anything for my prescriptions either.

My prescription plan will cover the cost of the injections 100%

How does a guy know he has low T? And what are the side effects, if any, of taking T?
