So I’ve been on TRT about three months now. My doc does the two week injection thing, 300mg every two weeks now. Started at 200. I’ve decided to break that up to two or three injections a week. I’m going to start with two and go from there.

So I just did my second inj. .25 ml of cyp at 200 mg/ml. Everything went well till I pulled out the pin. It’s a 1” 25ga. I’m doing it in the delt till I get the hang of it. I hit something. I had blood running down my arm and now have a light purple lump. It wasn’t far enough down to hit the major vein, nothing when I aspirated. Sooo... wtf happened? Should I tell the kids bye?

Most guys do one injection per week for trt. Thats what i do and works well...2 isnt "wrong" but no need for the extra pinning imo

The blood, it happens occasionally, and it's usually at the lateral delt for me.

Have your alcohol wipe ready to go, to apply and put light pressure to the injection site, immediately upon withdrawing the needle.

1x per week at 150mg is fine, not necessary for 2x/week injections of Cypionate. Definitely not 3x/week. Could also switch to 27g needles too, if you like.

Hey thanks guys. I do have 27ga ordered. And if once a week is enough, I’m great with that.

It'll be much better than every other week injections.

What Rob and CJ said.

As for the 27G, you will have to push hard to get the oil out. Are you drawing with a 21G?

150mg once a week is perfect fro cyp.

The blood thing happens, it's a runner and nothing to worry about. You're going to poop yourself the first time you have a geyser. I had 2 or 3, blood squirts out 3' away. Again, nothing to worry about.

I echo the statements above. Once a week injection. I draw with an 18ga and inject with a 25ga. It already takes some time to push through with a 25ga. Can’t imagine dealing with a 27ga. Too small in my opinion. I don’t have any issue with 25ga though.

1" 25g is large for delts. I get a little blood occasionally with a 1/2" 27g.

The folks at the local pharmacies are adamant that you can’t draw in an insulin syringe. I have a pediatric endo in my wife’s fam. He showed me how to do it that way. 1/2” 29ga. That was all he had. He recommended the 27. I can see a dr not wanting to do that Due to time, but the 25ga draws really easy and I’ve seen smaller used. So after arguing I just took the 25ga and ordered the 27s from amazon. It’s that 1” part I really don’t like in the delt. Sorry if that rambles. My 3yo is on a rampage.

1/2" 27g is perfect for delts and draws pretty quickly actually as long as you are drawing 1ml or less.

So where would one pin a much larger volume on yourself? Glute? Like upper outer?

Usually quads and glutes.

I put 2ml into my Delts and Chest with no issues though.

not that hard in my experience & a 21g draw is making a mountain out of a mole hill imo

27g slin pin and you set


SOP bro for 90% of the people who pin IM. He's probably loading 1.5 mls too. I'm not sure they even make a 1.5ml slin pin.

Depends on the delts.....

3cc is no issue for me and they’re half the size of BRICKS’.

Dude, mine are still WAY small for what I want, but they’re getting there. I want that more plates more dates look. Say what you want, those are boulders.

Just because it came up somewhere, I’m pinning .75 at a time if I do two a week. The insulin syringes I got are a ml.

So with a leur lock type syringe, there’s a “devils cut” left in the barrel. Do the measurements take that into account? Are the vials exact? Or is all that figured in? I ask because my one ml vial appeared to be a touch heavier than a ml.
