Thoughts and suggestions after first injection

[Markc2008]

So, I went through with my first injection, and while I think it could have been a lot better, I guess it could have been a lot worse. Do you think my dosage was too low? I believe the vial says 15mcg pge-1 but it’s only a .1ml dose. So, firstly, the shot itself went pretty smoothly, it was much tougher to punch the needle through then other parts of my body, and honestly a little tough to pull the needle out when finished which was odd. But I seemed to have gotten it in a place where it didn’t hit anything vital and it gave me an erection within maybe 10-12 mins. The effects itself— I was hoping for more. I did get hard and it worked, but it didn’t delay orgasm at all. I didn’t fight the orgasm too much since I thought I’d stay hard regardless— I did not. As soon as I was finished I went soft. Which was after about five mins or so. With about ten mins of waiting and a lot of work from my wife I was able to get remotely hard again so she could get on top and finish but it was not super hard. When we stopped the erection went back down and while I had what I call a large flaccid, I was not hard anymore and didn’t have any other issues with it coming back up throughout the night. Another thing I noticed is the dull aching is real. It wasn’t unbearable but seemed to be pretty strong aching atleast halfway through the night. It seems to have subsided this morning. So I’m wandering, should I increase the dosage slightly? I don’t want priapism, but I was really hoping I’d have a solid erection for an hour or so that I wouldn’t have to think or worry about regardless of orgasm. It was hard enough to start and worked but again, didn’t seem as hard as I could get and definitely didn’t last beyond 5 or 10 mins(even though I did get off). Suggestions?

I’m wandering if I should go from .1ml to .15? Also, it says keep in freezer, and I did but it was solid frozen when I pulled it out, is that normal? I had to hold it in hand and thaw it some before drawing it into needle

Bro, seems that you're actually only injecting about 1.5 mcg (10 units of a 15mcg/ml solution) PGE-1, which would in fact be a very low overall dose. Doctor probably started you that low to be safe, which is always a good thing as you don't want a priapism. I'd say keep increasing the units slowly until you reach the sweet spot where you get a strong erection for an ideal time.

btw can you post pic of the vial just so we can confirm the strength?

I don't have too many suggestions. Things seem to have gone pretty well for a first trial. Keep it up. Increase your dose gradually. You're doing well, congratulations are in order! The ache from alprostadil is pretty common. In many if not most guys it will moderate with continued use and likely disappear completely after awhile. It did with me.

Suggestions:
Continue with patience to discover your ideal dose. It seems you can start bumping up your dose a bit. Don't get greedy and go for a huge dose.

Accept and try to ignore the ache and let it diminish over time. It probably will.

Consider novelty/sex shop cock rings, but not too tight. They can help boost the injection allowing a slightly smaller dose than would be otherwise needed and help with duration as well as the alprostadil ache (by allowing a smaller dose). Don't go too tight or you will end up with time limits on use as you do with medical grade constriction rings often used with a VED.

If P.E. is a concern you might also want to experiment with some types of rings around the boys. Some guys find that rings that restrict the boys from rising or drawing up prior to orgasm actually help to delay orgasm. I don't suffer from P.E., quite the opposite, so I don't use rings around the boys that hold them down. However, I discovered the wife does like the boys packaged with a ring, so...

Most guys on the forum speak of injection doses in terms of U-100 insulin units and buy syringes regulated as such. There are 100 U-100 insulin units in a ml. I use 31 gauge 5/16 long .3cc U-100 insulin syringes. Use the smallest volume syringes that will hold your dose. The smaller the gauge the less injection pain, but easier to bend. Most guys use 5/16" needles or 1/2" long needles. You may have to experiment to find what works best for you.

Good luck.

Thanks guys for the feedback. I do have insulin needles for my testosterone that are 27g 1/2” and 30gm 1/2” but the syringes sent with the pge-1 are 1/2” 31 I believe. So how much do you think would be a reasonable increase in dose? Would going from .1ml(10units) to .15(15 units) be a large jump? I though either that or try incorporating low dose cialis or viagra with the lower dose injection. I have no idea but yeah while it worked, it didn’t last real long. I do have PE issues as of late.. I think wellebutrin caused it. But it’s still there. Also should it completely freeze? I’ll send a pic of the vial shortly.

Trimix has NEVER kept my penis hard after orgasm. He just crawls back into turtle mode, right away. LOL Take a look at my dose.. and I take 50 units of this liquid fire. LOL

[Markc2008]

So maybe I am misunderstanding? I thought with the injections it stayed hard for a set amount of time with the med even after orgasm. Atleast I thought that was a lot of what I read. Can some others confirm?

[bldoink]

If a guy is combating a serious venous leak with injections the result will be limited as the drug will wash out. Otherwise, the time duration of the injection erection will be dependent on the strength of the mix and the dose or the injection.

In my humble non-professional opinion and considering your previous response, I think the 15 units (.15ml) would be reasonable. Of course I'll add that you should ask your doctor as I'm not qualified to give medical advice.

Good luck.

So In your experience as long as the drug is still there you should keep an erection regardless of orgasm?
