Did you pump enough air into the vial first?

load your fina with a larger gauge needle, then switch to a smaller needle to inject.

I'm just going to wait until after Christmas now

I injected enough air i thought, but it would not into the needle.

Should I inject all 3ccs of air. I used a 23guage 1.5".

It will load easier with an 18ga. needle. If you want to extract 3cc's of juice, you need to inject 3cc's or air, otherwise you end up pulling a vacume to get more volume out than you have put in. It will make it easier if you pre-replace the same amount of air as what you'll be drawing out.

Bro, you definately need to draw up the fina with an 18g needle and then switch to your 23g. For one, it is much easier to draw with the 18g. And two, you will dull the needle when pushing it through the rubber stopper and it will be more painful to inject into your muscle. A fresh new needle will go in much much easier and be way less painful.

Oh, and welcome to the other side. In a month it will be nothing to jab yourself.

And, one question. Why did you start with fina that requires ed or eod injections. Enanthate would have been much easier for your first cycle. Good luck.

I'll be getting my first injection tomorrow. My doc (or nurse) will be doing it, though - not quite as exciting, but I'm jacked about it. 200mg of test cyp, hopefully weekly. I know it's light, but I'm still excited! :D

I did use two needles but they both where 23g. I have a few 18s, guess ill use them. The injections i hope wont bother me, needles have never bothered me. I just hope i can do the quad injection.

Quads are easier I think, just because they are easier to reach. It's all right in front of you. Just think if you had to shoot this stuff into yer nuts?!! Now that would make for some sweat'in. :eek: :D

I did the quad for the first time yesterday, and I was fairly nervous. Just sounds more painful. Injection was actually one of the least painful I ever did. If I hadn't watched it go n I wouldn't have believed it. I got real sore last night tho. I think it is the prop. I did 1cc fina & 1cc prop together.

I load with a 23 too when I don't have anything larger...just be patient and it will fill in good time.

well i think tomorrow Im gonna try my right quad, and thursday im gonna try the left delt. I went to sighinjections.com. And the delt shot looked very easy.

How many day roatation should i have, i was thinking like 5 days, since i wont be able to do my right delt, im right handed.

like BStrongBwell* said, you can load with a 23gauge... just gotta be more patient... i do it a lot b/c my syringes came with 23g attached and i bought 25g to shoot with...

for quads, i've noted that (for me atleast) its better to give a quick shallow jab -- to get through the skin -- and then sink the needle in real slow... if you get close to a nerve or something, pull out just a LITTLE BIT angle the pin very slightly and go back in slowly... kinda lets me work my way around the tender spots. for some reason i think my left leg has a lot more nerves than the right.

delts are easy to shoot also. when you add the prop get ready for some soreness. after the first few rounds of shots at each site you'll get used to it and hte pain won't be as bad

have fun

well i did my quad shot today. It hurt a lil bit, when the need moved around is when i felt if. But other then that no problems. Is there any specific time i should take my shots?

Nahh ill pass on that, the 23 is fine. Dude an 18 would hurt. That thing is the size of a small nail.

Try giving blood, those needles look like they should have knitting yarn around them.LOL I think JakeSteed is right. Go with an 18ga. a couple of times under the tounge and it will be a breeze to use anything else. kinda like eating a live frog first thing when you get up in the morning. You know the toughest part of your day is already behind you.. :D
