Hi,
I’ve been on TRT for roughly two years, which I’ve interchanged with occasional low dose blasts. I’ve never used any other compounds than test, but have injected various brands of pharma and UGL. All my prior test E vials had a concentration of 250 mg / ml and I’ve never had any problems with injections apart from very mild PIP in the very beginning when I started pinning.
Now I’ve started a new vial from one of this board’s sources and it’s going really bad right from the first injection. I have very serious PIP starting the day after a pin and lasting a few days afterwards. The PIP is accompanied by major swelling being sometimes warm to the touch. I can rule out abscesses or infections since the reaction is locally limited and subsides after a few days without any remedies used.
I’ve already injected roughly ten times from this vial, so it shouldn’t be initial PIP. My injection volume is only 0.4 ml. I’ve also already used that carrier oil with other brands and have no indication to believe that the source is producing a bad product [which is why I’m withholding the name as of now, please tell me whether I should disclose].
I haven’t changed any parts [needle size, sterilization, pinning technique, location] of my procedure and I’m confident that after literally hundreds of prior injections that’s not where those problems stem from.
The only difference to prior test E used is that the new vial is 300 mg / ml. Is that enough to warrant such massively different reactions or do you think there could be different reasons?
Thx for any help! Regards
