Day 27 - Injection #12

I will measure on Saturday. I don't think I have gained anything, I hope I am wrong.
Erections seem much harder, however.

Day 29 - Injection #13

Well, if anything, this has certainly been a learning experience for me. last night, while closely examining my syringes, I discovered I have been miscalculating my IGF-1 doses. I initially thought my 1 CC syringes had 100 tic marks when in fact they only have 50. So, I was drawing in IGF-1 to the first mark thinking I was injecting 10 mcg when it is actually 20 mcg. While this is not the end of the world it does highlight the need for extreme caution when calculating dosages. If this had been PGE-1 I would have been in a heap of trouble.

I probably will just stay with this dose. I find it a challenge to measure to the 1st tic mark, I think trying to do half that would be too difficult.

Officially completed 1 month on chemical PE program. The results are:

- Lost 1/8" EL
- Lost 1/4" Girth - Base
- Lost 1/8" Girth - Glans

However, I am not disheartened and freaking out. Why? Well, first off my erections are getting better than ever. Second, I know it typically takes 6-8 weeks to start seeing results and being that I have a workout of very low intensity I'm not surprised to have lost some.

I am still optimistic as I start month 2 and will be adding PGE-1 to my chemical arsenal in a couple weeks. So, we'll see how things go.

Meanwhile... Back in the Saddle!

Well, good luck to you Lizard Breath. Sucks to lose the gains you worked so hard for. BUT, they will come back. Hang in there, we are all following this.

Yea, it's really a bummer! Oh well, maybe you are right. I'm not one to give up!

Decided not to keep track of every injection in my log on page 4. My initial thoughts were to track the injection sites so as to take care not to inject too much in the same place but I have decided it's not worth it. I will only note the number of injections and any significant changes in dosage or results.

Month 2: Day 10 - Injection #15

I received my prescription for Caverject by mail yesterday. It is for 20 mcg X3. I am to fill only 1 and bring it to my appointment on next Wednesday. I plan on measuring again on Tuesday before I add the PGE-1 to my routine.

I still don't think I have gained anything but we will see...

Completed Injection #20 last night. So far, no gains to report. I will be adding PGE-1 to my routine on Wednesday. I plan on upping my routine intensity. I was hoping to report gains solely from the IGF-1 but that is not happening. I realize it takes time for new cells to develop and then mature so maybe I am getting a little impatient.

I plan on giving the chemical route at least 6 months but probably more along the lines of 1 year.

UPDATE:

I was scheduled for PGE-1 titration yesterday but had to move my appointment up a week. Right now my pharmacy and urologist are duking it out with my insurance company to see it they will cover the medication. I was initially told it would be covered but it still isn't going through.

As I mentioned earlier, my urology group has ran out of PGE-1 samples. My doctor mailed my prescription of 20 mcg X 3 vials to me and asked me to fill it and ask for only one and bring it with me to my appointment. I dropped it off at Walgreens and they told me they would have to order it and it was only available in packs of 6 vials of 20 mcg for ($270.) I waited until the day before my appointment to see if my insurance company would respond by then but they did not. I called Walgreens to go ahead and order and I would pay and attempt to get reimbursed in the event it was approved. They called back later and said the supplier was out of stock. My urologist called the day of my appointment and asked if I was able to acquire the medicine, as they were aware of the battle with insurance, and I informed them of the problem so they moved me to next week. So, that is my current status on PGE-1

Maybe Gains?

As to IGF-1, I completed injection #21 last night. I am over 6 weeks at this point. Shortly after I posted about my losses I returned to normal measurements. I think I may have just been dehydrated the day I measured.

I measured again last night and looked to have gained at least 1/8" across the board. I measure just behind the glans, mid-shaft and base. All 3 measurements were easily 1/8" larger, base being more like 3/16". Now here's the caveat, I was wearing a 2 cock-rings (BTB) and was unable to reproduce the gains without them. But, I'm not totally convinced I haven't gained because I was having a very difficult time achieving an erection. The cock-ring was definitely helping me out there. So, I'm not sure if a cock-ring could actually make me measure thicker or if it just helped me attain a full erection. I honestly don't think a cock-ring could expand my 1/8" tunica beyond it's normal range.

By the way, if I have gained, it is SOLELY due to the IGF-1. My manual workouts have been a train wreck. I have had a horrible time staying on schedule but I haven't missed one injection.

I plan on re-measuring today to see if I can repeat the gains without the rings. Wish me luck.
