Did my second injection today, was much less nervous about it. However it didn't go as smooth, after putting in the needle it hurt like hell so I took it out and there was a good amount of bleeding, I moved to a new spot about an inch away and was no problem. The oil is so thick that it takes a while to go in, will heating it up a little help?

Yes, warming the vial some before injecting will help it flow better through a smaller gauge pin. I use 25g pins most often. My Rx test uses cottonseed oil and is typically very thick in comparison so warming really helps.
That said, it should take a while to go in regardless. If you inject too fast it will cause discomfort later. Good steady pressure but not cramming down on the plunger is what you want and take your time. I may go slower than most, but would say a .75-1ml pin would take about 15-20 seconds I bet. Never timed it, but it takes a while especially when you do larger volume pins.
Maybe I missed it... but stats?

I use a trt dose, so I don't think my stats are very important. But i'm 5'10, 220lbs, about 30%BF.Originally Posted by Plate Smacker
What size needle are you using? I've been doing self administered TRT for the last 2 years. Like you I was tired of feeling like shit. Unlike you I was losing weight. I was working out but not hard because I didn't have much energy. Sleep sucked. Focus sucked. No libido. I was 34. I tried a bunch of supplements, diet, etc. Nothing was working real well. I tested under 400 which is in range but unacceptable to me. I do eod 50 prop. I could probably drop my dose because I'm around 1200 now. I feel better, look better, and fuck better. What's not to love? The amount of money I've spent on supps over the years is staggering. This is the least expensive supplement with the best results I've ever come across. I do sub-q injections with a 29gx1/2" slin pin. Some of the sponsors here use MCT as a carrier oil and I prefer that because it's very thin and I use a small needle. It takes me a minute or 2 to draw but it's worth it to me for the reduction in injection pain from the needle. The first week or 2 I was sore as hell at my injection sites. Now that my body is used to it I have to really press on the site the next day to see exactly where I stuck.
I have actually lost weight over the past few months, about 20lbs so far. Hopefully it's easier with the higher testosterone levels. I use a 20g to draw and a 25g 5/8" to inject. I've just been doing it in my quad because it's easy to see and work with. I haven't really had any pain from the needle except, as I posted before, I hit a nerve or something and had to pull it out and go into a different spot once. I'm doing another injection tomorrow. Hopefully it goes smooth like the others.
