Title: Cough after TRT injection
Post by: DanielPaul on January 22, 2024, 07:16:10 PM
I didn’t want to get weirded out by WebMD so I figured I’d ask you guys 😂.
Everything’s prescribed and straight from the pharmacy. 200 mg/ml test cyp injected into my thigh and I swear about 1 out of every 5 times I get the urge in my esophagus to cough and it take about half an hour to go away. Wtf is it?

Ive never experienced a cough with TRT. Seems unusual to me. Maybe you are manifesting it. Where on your thigh are you shooting? I don't know what difference the glute would make? If your injecting in the right spot , intramuscular,  you theoretically would get the same response. But I'm not an expert on it.

Shot it into a vein maybe, switch to glutes...

Maybe it has some alcohol in it. The lungs try to  get rid of it by coughing.

You’ve hit a blonde capillary and some of the oil has leaked in which as it gets pumped through the lungs gives you the urge to cough.

It shouldn’t happen often though. I’ve had maybe 2 in the last 7yrs and both times in the quads as it’s more probably to hit veins and such.

Switch sites and skip that leg altogether.

I've learned through hard experience that it's retarded to go IM.  You're doing unnecessary damage to your muscles, and you can (and eventually will, if you stay on long enough,) hit and injure a nerve.  Delt injections are particularly bad.

TRT should be taken subcutaneously.

You probably hit a blood vessel, no big deal.

I think it's very rare to never have coughed when using tren but that's me. Throat pain and metallic taste but no cough. For some it's bad enough to swear off tren altogether.

It's a known reaction to testosterone and it's listed in the PDR etc. Nebido, 4ml test undec., stresses slow injection for this reason.

One friend wanted me to inject him with the tren. I was to go extremely slow where he could tell me to stop when he felt the cough coming on.

Yup. 52 injections weekly x 20+ years = a lot of trauma to the nerves and muscle tissue

This isn’t the 90’s. Inject into your love handle fat with a slin pin HTH

Isn't this appropriate only for regular dosing, not a full ml in one go, otherwise the site lumps...

No, it's fine.  If you get a lump, it rarely lasts longer than a day, anyway...

I actually had a dart bend at an almost 90-degree angle when going in. What was supposed to be a 1.5cc deep intramuscular glute turned into a 1/8-inch sub takes a lot longer to absorb not what you want to do. There is a reason it says IM.

 ::)

Yo, he's on TRT.  Which means that he's "always on" and that he'll eventually reach a pharmacokinetic steady state.  "Time to absorption" really isn't a factor.  And, anyway, it's really not much different between administration methods:  https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/107/3/614/6410585

You do a lot less damage to your body with subcutaneous injections.

I remember guys saying the Tren cough could be pretty intense.

I never got that and only that taste in my mouth.

I never got anything like this from test.

Always have a can of fizzy soda on hand especially with tren
If you get the cough and tight chest, drinking the soda helps

PS, dont ask me why im not a doctor.

He didn’t mention dosing. He only mentioned the strength per ml of test, so I’m not sure how much he’s injecting. He did say TRT, so it shouldn’t be much unless he’s on the BH protocols. And if it’s too much which it shouldn’t be, break it up into 2 days which is optimal for most anyways. Shit aint rocket science. Injecting in your muscle and coughing from TRT. Oh brother. Boomerific

Pain is a factor yes? Shit hurts and makes a noticeable bruise the muscle can handle it better

Definitely. So much easier. Many advantages over intramuscular.

I can take 1.5ml with zero pain or lumping ever. Didn't try more than that. Some complain of lumps with HRT dosing but many have no problems. I think I saw where they did 4ml of test subq no problem for most.

I run anywhere from 120 mg to 200 per week, how would you space it out and what size and gauge needle

Use a 29-30g half inch and shoot 60-100mgs every 3.5 days.

I've always went Im. Never had any issues. Once when I went into my glute, i always inject slowly. A good 30 to 60 seconds and never have any soreness, bruising lumps etc... no issues. The one time with my glute, I guess I shifted the angle a little bit over the course of the injection.  Well shifted a lot. Didn't realize how much and it felt like a charley horse for a day or 2. But thats the only pain ive experienced.

Stephano, you're saying that IM can damage the muscle? How so, just the repeated trauma of sticking a needle into the muscle?

Yep. SubQ for 7yrs no probs.

I run sust 1ml a fortnight mostly and the pump goes away after 4-5 days. I shoot in the same quad skin. My brother in law does subq in belly just fine for past 6mths on Cyp.

When I switch up to 1ml/wk for downhill mtb riding I use Enth and lump goes after 2 days or so.

Scar tissue just builds up over time.  I don't like glute or thigh injections so did a lot of delt injections, and now they're full of scar tissue.  Hit nerves a couple of times, too, which was very unpleasant.  Tricep and pec injections were okay for me, but they're considered unsafe locations for the long term, so I tried to avoid them.  SubQ is easiest and best.

So you're on 120-200 mgs weekly correct

I shot 75 mgs daily

Glute is always best. Huge surface area of pure muscle tissue and you have two to choose from.  You can alternate the cheeks and location to minimize scar tissue build up.  Just ask Dave P. :D

That looks hideous.

There's really no reason not to go SubQ in 2024.  Easier, less painful because you can use smaller needles, and does less damage over time.
