PROBLEM: Test Cyp is crystalizing in bottle

[greatgro]

I think there was a thread about this not long ago but I can't find it. From the second time I used my Test Cyp, I noticed some crystals on the bottom of the bottle. Each week when it came time to inject, I noticed a bit more crystals. The less Cyp that was left, the more Cyp seemed to turn into crystals. Last week I noticed that quite a bit had crystalized and there was only enough oil for probably 2 or 3 shots at most. Well it was so bad this time that it took me 5-10 minutes to get every last drop out to get my required dosage amount.

Questions:
Is this normal? Does everyone normally lose 1 or 2 shots out of each bottle?

Can this be prevented? I store the bottle at room temp. Are the crystals from impurities? Am I doing something wrong?

Are these crystals in any way shape or form dangerous? In other words can they get in the needle and therefore clog it or get into my body?

Thanks in advance!

No you are not doing anything wrong. In my experience cyp is more difficult to keep in solution than enanthate and for that reason it falls out of solution (crystalizes) occasionally. Dont worry this is not a problem or impurities.

There is really nothing you can do to prevent it. If you are brewing it yourself you can add some BB to help keep it in solution. If it is a prescription there is nothing you really can do. As I mentioned, it doesnt hurt anything it just an inconvenience since you will need to heat it up to get rid of the crystals

Yes, they will clog the needle so you will need to gently heat, and swirl the vial while heating to precipate out the crystals back into solution.

If you can, get some enanthate next time and you should not have this problem.

BTW this usually happens with higher concentrations. What concentration is it and where did you get it (dont name source just tell me if it was purchased illegally or with a prescription from a pharmacy.

The same thing happens with my test 400. What i do is put the 10ml vial on the radiator about 10mins before i use it.

Thanks for the help guys. It's real and legal - I'm on TRT. It's from a real pharmacy.

Question: Will heating it still work now since all I have are the crystals left? Or is it too late?

Thanks!

Was it expired by any chance? What is the expiration date on the bottle?

 

[muslhead]

It should still work BUT
if you used it before while there were crystals and did not reheat to get crystals back into solution there is a very good chance that your original concentration (200mg/ml I assume) is much higher. If so you can also assume those previous shots weren't accurately dosed as you were injecting a lower concentration because much of the hormone was crystalized and not in solution.

I am the one that complained about this problem in a previous thread. I am changing pharmacies but still have some cyp to use up first. I heat a mug of water up in the microwave and then set the vial of cyp in it and cover it for about 30 minutes. If all the crystals are not dissolved, then repeat the process. As Muclhead said, if you suck the available fluid around the dissolved crystals then you are going to totally screw up the concentration of that batch and who knows how much cyp you are actually using.

Throw what is left out. It's just going to mess up your dosing, whatever you do (even if it is nothing).

Next time, GENTLY (not higher than 106F) warm it when you first notice any crystals forming.
