Dumb ass question- but not for me.

[jasperpie]

So, a 10ml vial of testosterone E.

2 things.

1... wife popped the top off 1 vial, not been punctured with a needle yet. (She wanted to see how it works). Is this now deemed open??

2....a 10ml vial apparently has a 28day lifespan. ??? I was hoping 1ml x 10. So 10 weeks.

Will this keep???

I'm new. Yes feel free to give me shit. But advice from you guys is all I'm after.

Nothing to worry about here. The cap removed is not a problem.

 

[Avarice911]

Cap removed is fine. It’s when the rubber stopper is pierced that bacteria COULD be introduced into the vial.

The 28 day lifespan is a pharmaceutical fail safe. It’s perfectly safe to use for 10 weeks or even longer.

I use a new alcohol swab every injection on the top of the vial to clean it, THEN clean the injection site.

Idk how new you are but alcohol pads are cheap and make things easy for keeping everything clean

Thank you all. I know I'm a newbie, but your input is very well received.
Many others would have just slagged me off and I'm thankful you have been kind.

I've got about 200 wipes. They will be my best friend for the nest few weeks lol.

You come across polite and willing to listen. Kudos to you, there are guys here willing to assist but not 100% spoon feed. In the mean time read your ass off on this site. Search the most basic things whether it’s “starting trt” or “first cycle” and read as many threads as possible on your own too. Good luck and be safe !!

yes sir that's how you open the vial. the little rubber circle is where you draw from. (I had a buddy try to stick the needle thru the plastic top so your question isn't that dumb)

 

[Juicedhead]

also if you store the bottle in a place and use alcohol when you draw that shit will be good for a while.

Also, to further add to what was said about the 28 day lifespan after piercing the rubber stopper….It is very common for a trt doctors prescription to be for 3 months or more on one 10ml vial, so I wouldn’t worry about the 28 days you may of read at all. I actually have never heard that myself. There isn’t an actual doctors written trt script that would finish a 10 ml vial in 28 days anyway, the dosage would be way too high to be trt.
So if it’s good enough for a prescription to use the vial for 3-4 months, it’s definitely good enough for you.
Make sure you store away from light. In a container or cabinet. And try to avoid storing in temps over 77 or very cold. I’m talking about long term storage, for a short time it’s fine to be in warm terms.
This winter if you live in a cold climate there is a chance of it “crashing”. Figured I would mention that since winter is coming up for many. You can search on here for what to do if this happens or ask and any of us would be happy to help.

1) Just fine. Still sterile
2) BS. Years depending on compound. (though I am anal about vials that have been pierced, giving them months)
3) Why some of us brew to ensure bacteriostatic quality

Lucky bastards… Was 50 outside today.

I used to live in a really cold climate and I kinda liked winter cuz id permabulk for the whole winter haha loved that shit cuz you can't go outside anyway so I would actually be a full time bodybuilder. there are benefits to living in a cold climate and bodybuilding.

 

[Astartes]

Agree. 35 degrees is T-shirt weather and over 85 makes this man cranky and pissy. Love hate relationship with living in Louisiana all those years ago. Summer can’t go away fast enough every year even in AR

 

[jasperpie]

I'm from the UK. We don't have Fahrenheit or Louisiana 'hot and sticky '. We have maybe 35 Celsius in summer for 3 days then it rains and is cold. (Maybe not as bad, but it feels like it). Lol.

Anyway. 1st time pinning, 1st fuck about on the old rodeo.

Thoughts on the attached plan I've made for myself. Bear in mind I'm 9st8 (60.8kg). (Just finished my cancer treatment). My core isn't too bad, but I'm going softly softy with test. I've another fee vials for next cycle so this is just a taster and conditioning cycle (if that makes sense).

Obvs I'm weaker than I used to be. Lost a bit of weight (I'll attach them too if you like - I'm skinny).

For me, this could be a cheat sheet to gain some mass.

Thoughts, bitxh at me, praise me, block me......that's internet. But I will firstly thank you all first for your unwavering support for a newbie.

Don't have any older images when I was about 80-82kg.
