Injections hurt?

[leigh]

I made a 100ml batch of test prop. I used 2% Ba and 20% Bb, 70.5ml of CSO, and 10g of powder.

All went well with the brew, it suspended nicely, it's just that the injections are really painfull, the pain kicks in about 24 hours after jab, and lasts about 2-3 days, the injection site also swells up a bit too.

Did I put too much Ba or Bb in? What percentage would you guys reccomend to make pain free injections?

doesn't look like you used to much BA. if you've never used Prop before it will be painful. dilute it 1:1 with sterile Grape Seed oil.

Do you think 15% Bb would help to make the jabs less painfull?

No it won't. 20% is standard in pharm grade test c and that is pain free.

so my mix is right?

I'll make another brew, I must of done something wrong??? I'm pretty sure it's was done correctly though? we'll see on the next batch.

[WetWorks]

you can drop the BB to 15%. have you ever done Prop before?

I think leigh is just feeling the prop pain imo.

This is the first time i've made any batch.

I feel a bit stupid telling you all this, but i've figured out where I went wrong, I used kitchen scales to measure 10g (a real school boy error), didn't realise how inacurate they were till I got my digital scales and weighed the rest, I started with 100g, and there was 85g left, so that's why it hurt so much, it was dosed at 150mg/ml, I've been feeling quite full the last few days though, lol.

Life is a leaning curve!

If you do everything just right your prop injections will be painfull no matter what. After your second and third injections at the same location the pain subsides as if there area gets used to it.

That is funny.

I made 150ml yesterday, shot 2ml today, it feels fine, nothing like the other batch, feels smooth too.

I'll steralise some CSO, and i'll add a third more oil to the bad batch, and that should take it to 100mg/ml, and pain free hopefully.

I'm glad my first go at home brewing has worked out, it makes me feel good about myself, when I look at my gear all lined up in thier 10ml vials, all capped nicely To think I used to pay £30 ish for 10ml, works out a couple of pound now.

How did you guys feel when you made your first brew?

What was your recipe for your 2nd batch since it is less painful. I think along with saving a lot of money is that you know exactly what is in your stuff with brewing.

I'm all about learning by trial and error myself-glad it worked for you. When I attempt my first batch of home brew I hope it doesn't feel like I'm injecting liquid draino. I'm counting on the help of a friend on here that is quite informative through PM's.

The second batch was 105.75ml of oil 15g of test prop, 3ml 0f ba(2%), and 30ml of bb(20%), that made prop 150ml at 100mg/ml.

The injection site does hurt a little to day, nowhere near the pain of the first batch.

It is nice to know exactly what stuff your brewing, i've propably bought and injected god knows what, when i've bought off the street.
