Title: Very low dose + questions
Post by: J.D on January 05, 2017, 02:13:56 PM
Hi, so I just started T a little over a week ago. I picked up a 200mg/mL bottle of Testosterone Cypionate.
The dosage i was given is. The first two injections I did at the clinic with help, and they used a 1ml syringe, but i only have 3ml syringes. So my questions are, how low of a dose is? it sounds really really low, but i don't know. and where on a 3ml syringe would the dose be at? I think its between, but I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance for any questions answered!

Hi,

Dosage information is not allowed to be posted here so I have edited your post to reflect that.

It is a low dose, but most people start at a low dose to ease into testosterone. Sometime between 1-3 months on T, you should have lab work done to see where your levels are at. If your E levels are down and your T levels are within the reference range for men, then there is no need to increase the dose. If they are not, then you could advocate for a higher dose.

Each black line on the syringe is 1ml. Hope that helps.
