My layman calculations tell me your mix will be a 40mcg/ml mix.
So again if my calculations are correct (and I really suck at math) your starting dose at 20 units will be 8mcg of alprostadil. For me that would be enough for a chicken chokin session with a cock ring. No penetration. But it may be great for you. It is likely a good place to start, depending on your history of course. It would be too much for some guys to start at. I assume you have a competent doctor that recommended that dose.

ready2go wrote: so your thought ids half that ? i think ill go with the half and add the other half if needed.

I'm not sure what you mean there. If your saying you're thinking at starting at 10 units which (I think) means 4mcg alprostadil. Well that should certainly be a safe conservative starting point.

Yes.

Are you saying you can't get Pseudoephedrine pills in the PI?

I'm not sure which lines you're talking about.

I'm using Easy Touch 31 gauge, 5/16" (8mm) .3cc/ml U-100 insulin syringes. They have numbers with dark lines at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 units. They have smaller lines without numbers at every unit and even smaller unnumbered lines at every half unit. 10 units would be a third of the syringes capacity. 15 units would be half of the syringe's capacity.

The syringes most guys use are human insulin syringes. Human insulin syringes are U-100 syringes. A unit is 1/100 of a ml. So there are 100 units in a 1ml U-100 insulin syringe. 50 units in a .5ml U-100 insulin syringe. 30 units in a .3cc/ml U-100 insulin syringe. If you're going to talk in units please make sure you're using U-100 insulin syringes. Insulin syringes for veterinary use are (I think) U-40 syringes and a unit on those means something else.


OK, mcg and ug are the same thing. They both mean microgram. 1mcg and 1 ug is the same. I think ug is Greek.




I'm not clear on how much you used. If you used 15 units, or half of a .3cc/ml U-100 insulin syringe I'm thinking you got 6mcg of alprostadil. We've had a few guys on the forum that said that was a lot for them but for most guys that really isn't much.

Injection technique is very important. Please read a bunch of older posts in the injection sub-forum to educate yourself on some effective techniques. Have you watched any of the demonstration videos found on Youtube? But injection technique is another long topic I won't get into right now.

Alprostadil has a pretty short life unrefrigerated. Even refrigerated you've exceeded the recommended shelf life. I keep mine hard frozen. I've used my alprostadil mix successfully that was over a year old. But I kept it hard frozen. It thaws quickly.

If you're actually getting legitimate quality alprostadil I wouldn't give up so soon. Get a new batch and keep it frozen. It can take awhile to titrate up to the proper dose. Be patient! Keep in mind many guys need a fairly potent dose. My effective dose starts at about 12mcg alprostadil. Some guys need 40mcg, which would be a full ml of your mix.

Sounds like a pretty neat place other than lack of services.

Good luck.
