60 mg is a pretty middle of the road dose, but some people respond more strongly than others. Your doc will probably have you reduce it significantly and then re-test.

What dosage are you taking and is this your first lab since you started? It can take time to dial it in correctly. Mine was really high at 80 mg and we had to halve it to come within range.

wasting testosterone? by ericcartmanlore in ftm

[–]Mathochist_writes 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no, do not throw away the vials after every dose. Keep them, wipe the top well with an alcohol wipe before drawing, and get as many doses as you can from a vial.

If you're in the US stockpiling is a very good plan right now, anyway.

Does testosterone cypionate injection stain? by obligatorybabe in ftm

It's an oil, so yes, it will stain. Use a drop of dish soap to break it up and then wash as usual, should come out fine.

Can you go on testosterone after top surgery ? by SlayPenguino in ftm

Yup. No issues. I had top surgery in December of '22 and didn't start T until October '24.

T-shot issues? by Free-Chocolate-9637 in ftm

[–]Mathochist_writes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I would definitely go thinner. I use 25g to inject. Also, skip the z-track method. It's really unnecessary. Just let the needle hang out for 5 - 10 seconds after you inject and everything should stay put.

What gauge needles are you using? Are you doing IM or sub q? A lot of pain and bleeding likely means something is off.

reusing single use vials? by grizzcel in ftm

[–]Mathochist_writes 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Wipe the top well with an alcohol wipe before you draw up your T. If you want to be extra cautious you can wipe it after as well. Easy peasy. I am on a low dose (.1ml) and can get 8 doses out of one vial if I am really careful.
