Just started injections

1st injection was 5 units and it produced a halfway election, 2nd injection was 10 units, same result, 3rd was 15 units, maybe a little better but still not usable, wondering if this is normal, should I keep going up 5 units until I get the results I'm looking for?

Yes, you are progressing the correct and safe way. Go up 5 units at a time until you get a good erection, then you can dial it up or down a unit or two to fine tune it.

Up to 20 units and it's still not fully erect, it's a little improvement over 15 units, 25 units will be next and hopefully that will do the trick!

Can you get a full erection with stimulation? Outside of the first year that I injected, I don't get a full erection at 30units...but once I start playing around with my GF, I get a strong enough erection for penetration...that is with a cock ring though.

Can't get full erection even with stimulation, it gets close but just not there yet

Injected 25 units and it was the worst outcome yet, pretty sure it was in the right place, my question is should I go to 30 units or try 25 again next time? Thanks in advance

Caveat: I’m not a doctor and am assuming you have been injecting into the right area with good/fresh medication.

I’ve been injecting for several years now and have had to adjust my dose over time.

I think about increases in percentages, not a number of units.

For example, your first two doses 5 to 10 was a 100% increase. Your next from 10 to 15 was a 50% increase.

Generally if I needed a little extra boost I went up by 10-25%. By if I had poor results and needed a big increase I increased by 25-50%. Round up or down to a number that makes sense based on your results.

If I have a really poor result with 40u it doesn’t make sense to go up to 45u, I would go to 50-60u instead. If I’m having really poor results I haven’t worried about priapism. I’m on the other end of that scale.

As you dial in your dose also put some thought into what the mix strength is. If you are having to use more than 25u consider going to a stronger mix. The vials of medication usually cost the same regardless of the strength of the mix. But with a stronger mix you’ll get more shots out of the vial. Lowering your cost per shot.

Thank you, that's good information, haven't thought about it like that, it makes sense!
