Title: 2 weeks short --- ran out of testosterone?
Post by: vandalrivera on May 12, 2012, 10:31:36 PM
Is it even possible for me to run out of my testosterone vial 2 weeks before I am supposed to?

PLEASE let me know if this is possible. I really thought I was taking the right amount of dosage and everything, but I can't talk to my doctor until monday, so..

i'm losing my ->-bleeped-<- a little

is there some T left in the vial.  I know when I come up short sometimes there will be maybe half of my dose left in the vial.  I suggest you shoot that.  And yes it is possible to come up a little short because no shot is 100% accurate in amount.

yes, theres a tiny bit left. maybe a 1/4 of a dose. that makes me feel a little better. maybe I just really screwed up my first few self injections. its possible. thanks.

I've heard a couple of people say that their vials came up short, but I don't know whether the vials actually arrived that way. People lose track of how many injections they've done, they inject more by accident, and so forth.

I posted awhile back about this happening with a vial I got from Strohecker's. One vial was definitely low (4 shots short) and the other was questionably low. I stopped buying from them but who knows, might've just had bad luck since a lot of guys swear by them.

It's definitely possible for a vial to be short, especially if it's being compounded by a smaller lab. It's nothing to lose your ->-bleeped-<- over, though... just talk to your doc on Monday and see what they say.
