Question 2

hello i have a question about testosterone injections. what is the recommended dose i should get if i want it prescribed? its my first time and im female btw?

Accepted Answer

: We need to know what the indication for testosterone supplement is.

Question 3

i'm starting testosterone self injections. is there a danger of hitting my femur with the needle? any suggestions

Accepted Answer

No: There is no chance. The bigger question is why are you taking testosterone when you have an enlarged prostate which will likely be made worse by the hormone therapy?

Question 4

Accepted Answer

No: Haven't heard of that happening in real life to humans.

Question 5

please tell me how long it takes for to feel the effects of a testosterone injection?

Accepted Answer

Testosterone Effects: The ester will determine half life but feeling/seeing effects really depends on other hormones and enzymes interacting on the testosterone. Assume 2-3 weeks to determine noticeable effects; maybe sooner for test prop but again, it depends wildly for
 individual.  If you dont see/feel changes you may have to switch delivery (inject vs cream), frequency or check other hormone interaction.

Question 6

im or sq injection for testosterone? personal feelings on the efficacy/safety of each? does level of bf factor in?

Accepted Answer

Why inject at all?: It's pretty rare for a 31-year-old to need testosterone at all. In the few cases it is indicated, oral will work just fine. As for inappropriate use of anabolic steroids, stay away!

Question 7

what to do about first testosterone injection?

Accepted Answer

Enjoy it?!?!: Look for side effects from excess testosterone, whether your 1st or nth injection (or other form of replacement). Then focus on proper nutrition &amp; regular exercise (recent study suggests obesity hinders ability to get to proper level). Keep in close contact w/prescribing physician &amp; get monitored regularly for heart disease &amp; stroke risk factors from excess T. Don't forget sterile shot technique!

Question 8

Accepted Answer

T gel vs injection: Both effective, injection more reliable but gel can be applied daily.

Question 9

Intramuscular use: only: Vastus lateralis muscle in the thigh and/or Gluteus Maximus muscle in the buttocks. Hope it helps.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Effective med: Aveed is a long acting form of testosterone (T)  After the second injection, you receive it once every 10 weeks.  It is very effective in maintaining normal T levels, and has less of a tendency to cause excessively high levels.  However, you need to make sure that you have a medical cause for low T that requires longterm use of this medication, as your body becomes dependent on it,
