Well done video. Covered everything and I just injected myself for the first time. Thank you.
Well done, thank you. I normally get mine in the office, but mil duty sometimes has me away for weeks at a time... I've always been very anxious about the thigh injection but this made it seem easy enough to try... 1st time, easy peasy... of course, we'll see tomorrow if there's any soreness, but I doubt it since I barely felt it... it's just so viscous that the small gauge needles don't let you do it very easily!
Thanks again.
Warm the T up, either hold in your hand or I soak the loaded syringe in it's wrapper in warm water. I shoot with 25 g. Another trick I learned is to leave a small air bubble in the syringe (like one tick - 0.1 ml). Does three things, tells me when I'm done (the "whoosh" at the end), gets all the T out of the needle, and prevents T from seeping out when you're done. For me, injecting .6 ml with a 25g pin, a ten count is way too short. Probably more like 20-25 seconds. After 3 years of this I can say quad injecting is fickle. Some shots are easy, some are hard. Some have post injection pain, most don't. TRT is a commitment.
Thanks for the good info. I watched your video twice before performing my first injection. It went beyond smooth and I had no problems. Thanks again!!
Michael Scott That you Mr. Scott, I have a great sense of humor, but, hate needles. Thank you for real information and not just immature jokes. Even though I am super hesitate to inject myself, the clip and your insight have given me more confidence. Truly appreciate that and wish HEALTH, WEALTH, AND WISDOM TO YOU AND YOURS. NO BULLSHIT MAN THANKS!
for real. i was halfway to freaking out thinking i was gonna feel it an not put all 1 & 1/2 inches in. an then i was like 🤦 when i didn't even feel it
I see why the doctor is happy with his job .
How about lady pationt
Thanks. Your explanation and videos really helped!
I think she just raised my Test levels naturally
Nothing like getting erect right before injecting....optimal blood flow😂😂🤣🤣
she shyrocketed my T-levels over 9000!!!!
Brandon Walton no it will grow mushrooms
Thank you very much. I found this video very informative. As I did not receive such specific directions from the nurse of my Internist. Once again. Thank you.
Thank you for the information. As a patient that hates needles this was a very informative and very professional. No shit thank you!
Thank you so much for this teaching and explanation to people 🙋🙋🙋🙋
Good video I’ve referred to it several times now. Thanks much!
I’ve already been giving myself injections. I did have a lot of trouble bringing myself to do the first one. I really only clicked on this for the pretty lady.
same
It just took me 20 minutes to work up the courage 🤣
Thank you for the helpful video.
Thank you! Best choice I ever made was agreeing to take these injections but I've had the hardest time getting it right. I was using a 23ga needle but it was difficult to get the med through that tiny thing so I went up to a 21 ga which is just big enough to be uncomfortable. NOW, though, I understand to inject SLOWLY. Yes, yes, my healthcare provider no doubt told me this but it didn't stick until now (pardon the pun). Thanks again!
I was able to do my shot confidently. Thanks!
Looks like a casting couch set 😂
😂😂
😂 😂 😂
hahahah made my day
hahahathought the same
My thoughts exactly.. I'm like wtf I don't remember going to pornhub
Thanks for the video, it definitely helps. I just started and I don't like the IM injection at all! I have done ones like Humira into the fat, but this needle is way bigger and longer! I hit a nerve once and it has me freaked out every time now! :O
Thank You so much very informative & the woman great job
Great Vid! Made things very easy for yet another first timer 😀
I really appreciate your video. Thanks!
great video thank you so much this help a lot ..
This was helpful thanks.
Her little smirks in the first minute are cute.
That’s got to be her husband? Or boyfriend the way she smirks during and after the injection! 😉 great video
Thank you for sharing.
Really good people respect for all of you.
So beautiful! Love my cyponate and deca!
how long does it take to start feeling im on week 3
i started pro eq and cyp then was going to do the deca and my other cyp after but my buddy said to start the deca idk if i should run all that at once seems crazy for someone trying to burn fat as a main goal.
Great video. Can you make a video on dose and side effekts? This is the best video on injection sites on UA-cam. Thanks from Norway
This is a great video guys!!! 👍
Appreciate you all.
This was educational. Thank you.
Two thumbs up thanks.
th so much for this video.
best i've seen on this
this is so helpful
Where can I get a doctor like her please?
Thank you for the instruction, I just injected (3) 1 cc doses into both my left and right legs as I require 3 cc every 3 weeks. Usually my wife gives me my shot in the glute but she has been working different shifts then me - SO this is a big help to do it myself.
Any issues with "dead leg"? Heard so many horror stories about barely being able to walk.
Great video, very thorough, thanks.
thanks for the info
Cheers really good advice on how to get the right spot 😎😎🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you.
She made my testosterone boost.
What’s the benefit of each injection site or is it just preference for comfort?
An informative video.
She is absolutely beautiful!!
thank you for this. my doc only gave me the 1 inch to use and it was still simple and smooth after this vid. just pretended I was in saving private Ryan and yelled "morphine stat!!!!" lol seriously though it was easier than I thought it would be. I need to do yoga though because I kinda pinched the back from twisting for the 10 seconds...
Hey Doc, I am currently taking 1/2ML testosterone injections weekly for a month and a half now and my numbers are in the 550's since. I am 48 years young and wanted to know if it is possible the doctor a UROLOGIST will get me in the upper 800's? I just don't feel like I should in the mid 500's or can I take a booster along with the injections? If any of those actually work? Thank you for a damn good video BTW
Gorgeous nurse btw
Several troubling factors, 1 as mentioned there was no mention of aspiration, more importantly they say you can throw the "capped" needle in the trash, that is asinine, you can thrown the syringe in the trash but the needle it's self should go in a sharps container, at minimal get an old laundry detergent hard plastic container when that fills dispose of it at a medical clinic or FD/Rescue Squad and on the safety aspect you never hold the needle and lid as you are re-capping "Be careful not to stick yourself"...SMH, lay the cap down and slide into it.
That's all optional nobody really does it
But people SHOULD do it. Remember that people finding your used syringe needles won't know anything about who used it or how the used it, and it can be quite scary for people to come across. Though saying that, your risk of transmitting diseases from a needle stick injury is still possible even from an IM or SC injection. It's lower than IV, but as noted in the video you can bleed from IM injections and therefor people can catch infections from your used sharps. And again, you may know your "clean" but others won't, and anybody who comes across your used needle will instantly think "AIDS!".
So show some courtesy, get a sharps bin, fill it up and dispose of it correctly. They don't cost much at all, and even a small 1L bin will be good for like 50+ shots if you only put the needle inside it (The syringe part is less important, but I personally still put them into my sharps bin because again, I don't want to worry other people and even the syringe part can cause panic in those unfamiliar with injections)
"Lastly, you may need a super hot brunette"
That doctor 🥰
Question no need to aspirate?
Best video ever
I found this tutorial dope.
thanks!
Please use a disposable sharps container to keep the sanitation workers safe.
Thanks
How do you store the bottle after an injection ? The cap of the bottle has a hole from the needle, how do you cover it ?
great video, can I use this for trenbolone as well
🤣
Use safety needles instead of recapping if possible.
Nice video guys I just did my own Pin after watching this, keep them vids comin!
Great video I was worried I was not hitting muscle with my 1" ×22 gauge needle. Injecting into my glute.
I switched to 1.5 inch 23 gauge
Just so i know I'm good.
All the adolescent commentary below is inappropriate. Giving injections is serious stuff. I appreciate the Dr. and the nurse demonstrating how to give an injection, stressing the importance of injecting air into the vial and removing it from the syringe, as well as making sure we know exactly where it's safe to inject without hitting a nerve and possibly causing damage. I have to give a family member injections and I'm not looking forward to it.
Because there are no large blood vessels in the recommended sites, aspiration before injection (i.e., pulling back on the syringe plunger after needle insertion but before injection) is not necessary.
You should also pull the plunger back once it's in the muscle before you inject to make sure no blood enters the syringe, and you're not in a vein. It's pretty unlikely, but better safe then sorry.
Not as unlikely as you might think. I inject twice a week. Have had blood come up 2 out of 17 times
@@Bearlogger what would happen if you injected in the vein
@@bastianm5478 You would get oil in your lungs man. You'd get your worst coughing experience of your life. But don't worry. You feel if you hit a vein. And always pull out on the plunger. To actually inject into vein you would have to be either stupid or actually do it :-). You starting a cycle?
This is call aspirate
@@Bearlogger i hit a vain now 3 times after injecting maybe 40 times and i never felt it. But the blood fountain scares the shit out of me :(
I expected the lady to pin him the injection
What a beatifull nurse omg 🤪
I just started with the shots and my doctor told me the best spot to inject the thigh is the center upper area. A few inches down from the waist. Is that wrong?
Insulin syringes take more patience to fill, yet are pain free. Using them 4 years now with great results.
I'm digging the assistant...
will using a 1inch needle for a quad injection make the injection less effective?
great video, but unfortunately i did not see it before my injection. I actually went into the front side of my quad and now it is extremely painful. Feels a bit swollen, almost like a bruise but no discoloration. What can i take for the pain as when i walk it feels extremely bruised.
OK quick question.. So the medicine is always measured with the needle facing up? What about the medicine that is in the needle, and the extra clear plastic part of the needle that holds to the syringe? So.. When measuring.. Do we draw the plunger back and tap on the needle so that all the medicine drops below to the first line for accurate dosing by removing everything above the first line with the needle facing up? . I want to make sure my dosage is exactly what is prescribed which is 65mg. Also I read that putting a small air pocket behind the testosterone will help all of it get out of the syringe. What is your thoughts on this? How much gets wasted without doing this method? My vials are 1ml 200mg per ml of testosterone cypionate. I use an 18g x 1. 5 to draw into a 2ml syringe. Thank you
The meaurments on the syringe take this in to account.
They don’t pull back to see if there’s blood? That’s what I’m scared of pulling back and see blood
First hand hearing it from a doctor you don't have to pull back (or the medical term is aspirate) you can if you wish though and then just choose a different spot to inject.
I used to thin this too but the odds of you just sticking into a vein is very low odds. Yes, it's possible but if you do hit a vein, blood will automatically start filling the syringe. Test has changed my life. I used to be so damn lethargic and low libido too. Ever since I began taking test, I have a much higher quality of life. I take test 250 1(cc)/week. A lot of people think k once you start taking test that your body will start making it again, this is false. Once your body stops making normal.levels of test it will never produce it again like when you were younger. You can actually take test forever as long as your are responsible and respectful.
@@slicksilver9441 250mg isnt trt.. it's a steroid mini cycle.
If you inject into a vein you will cough harder than ever before, some say they taste metal in the mouth and teeth hurt but nit deadly.
@@slicksilver9441 I've had it and was sick af for a day. So ye just as pirate always
What size needles to I use?
So you do not need to draw out a little after needle is in to make sure you are not in a vein?????????
Good report. Question have you heard of a testosterone shot 1000 mg give all at once and slow release over 3 months? From the bayer company. Thanks,
1000mg is a rookie dose. Many people do 500mg/week when they do cycles and 200-250mg/week of test is Pretty normal when not cycling.
How do you avoid dead leg and such after injecting in the quad?
What leanth pin for the quads
Is there any chance of hitting blood vessel or nerve when injecting testosteron to my butt muscle? I want to use 25G needle.
Why did you not aspirate before injecting?
If some of it comes out after injecting it, is that okay or does that mean something is being done wrong?
Shoulder and glute,very small chance of injecting into vein,i still aspirate,as nurses have told me they have withdrawn blood in intramuscular injection,the thigh quite a few veins and nerves,would always aspirate in the thigh,quite unprofessional example
I tried to watch this and its too scary for me. I don't think I can self inject. The lady in the video is very beautiful and smart. Thanks for providing this tutorial.
I’m lost how far do you push the needle in ??
What size( length) needle?? For leg..1 inch?
I should feel my muscle right?
what about the needle size if you inject into the deltoid ?
can ouy inyect the leg?
Is it normal to get a calf muscle cramp? Injected into quad
Doc getting high on his own supply...the nurse and test 😂
I said the same thing. I'm willing to bet he has lost his license. The guy they were using for the video obviously does not need T injections either.. Looks like he's Juicing himself and his friends. Assholes like them are the reason people don't get the help they need.
I got temperature and my glut muscle is painful what to do i do evrything you say this is nightmare
aaaa i used to do it on my butt and it genuinely was relaxing. but i leaked so much so i switched to my legs and ITS PAINFUL AND WEIRD. and i feel like i keep piercing different layers of paper and the actual medicine going in hurts
I can listen to her all day. 😍🇮🇹💪🏼
I would recommend drawing the needle back first to see if you hit a vain. If any blood shows in the needle change the head and start again.
The problem is if you aspirate blood you are have contaminated the medication and are required to discard it and start again. You are injecting into an area that is not highly vascularised there are no main ateries just small capillaries. Do not worry about aspiration. She just showed you exactly what you need to do. Except discard the needle immediately into a sharps container.
So the 5/8 is plenty for the quads? I have been using a 1 inch 25 gauge. Thanks
John Smith incorrect
@John Smith incorrect
Should you pull back on the plunger after injection to insure you are not in a vein?
Yes, cant believe they forgot that, you do not want to empy the syringe into a vein
youre not gonna hit a vein there. lol. its hard enough to hit a vein intentionally for many people, and i doubt its even dangerous, but i assume it wouldn't be nice in your veins to inject this shit.
now if youre injectint heroin, you want to pull back to be sure that you are in a vein. it is something every single junkie does due to the fickle nature of veins.
she rocks im in love!
You didnt aspirate when injecting the glute!
what does the shots do.?
Why do you need two needles, 18 v 25 gage ? why cant i use only one needle? you can certainly use the 25 gage for shoulder, butt and tighs
A bandaid?
very helpful. great video and thanks for sharing. also, just a few other items that I think people will find helpful, especially if this is the first time. don't be cheap. pull with one needle and pin with another as mentioned. many use the same 25g to pull and pin. What's the cost of a single needle?. I personally like to let my syringe with the barrel full of Testosterone sit in hot H2O for about 5-7mins. I personally use 25G. 27G is smaller sure, but you will have to push the needle pretty hard to get that needle into the muscle. getting the air out is also VERY important. It should not be too difficult to push the plunger on the syringe. All of these subtle tips add up in an effort to prevent PIP which can be painful for a day or two. About 80% feel some sort of pain from PIP when injecting Test intramuscularly into the quad muscle. I do plan to practice more so that I can pin my hip/glute area as it's a larger muscle and I think a better target IMO.
Much better in the arm...
@@craigspringer4988 depends on how big the person is. if a person is smaller than i would pin the glutes. larger muscle, less discomfort in my experience. the maximum needle that i'd use in my delts for intramuscular is 27g 5/8" but normally for growth hormone i'd use a 30g ½" .
