Hi all -
I'm at 60 hours post injection.
No pain medication for more than 24 hours. Not needed.
I experience compression pain when fondling my balls and a little bit of referred pain to my lower back and abdomen. Still on a scale of probably 1 out of 10.
My balls are now probably the size of small lemons (an analogy I'll keep since I want the lemons to mostly vacate my scrotum).
I've a minor background in physiology and anatomy, which has served me well here.
Personal opinion: many of those who have walked this path before me have probably overdosed what's necessary. We're setting up a long-term failure of tissue to regenerate, which doesn't necessarily need to involve a lot of foreign material, resulting in a lot of pain.
I believe that the salt solution we're injecting into our testicles, along with the fluid that accumulates as a response to the injury, is what basically leads to the testicular failure over time. The presence of the salt, along with the added fluid accumulated from the insult, crystallizes in the testicle causing the resulting tissue to fail to regenerate.
In the preparation I made, I used 1%

benzyl alcohol as a belt-and-suspenders approach,
in addition to boiling my mixed formula, to assure that I wasn't adding bacteria unnecessarily to my testicles. Benzyl alcohol is regularly used in both
preparations, where the mixing vial contains multiple doses to be administered over a period of time.
Originally, preparations such as these were mixed with bacteriostatic water. For a period of time, bacteriostatic water was unavailable, so it became necessary for a DIY approach. Note: Bacteriostatic water is nothing more than sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol added.
Anyway, I think, perhaps, my belt-and-suspenders approach to sterility has been somewhat responsible for my lack of side-effect from this process. I did inject 0.5ml into each testicle, after all, and have been nearly 100% functional for the last two and a half days with very minor discomfort.
At this point, I'm not going to re-inject for at least 60 days, hoping to achieve my goal of significant testicle size reduction beginning to come to fruition. If, at 60 days, I don't see results, I'll reconsider a second 0.5ml dosing.
I'm also looking forward to experiencing the changes over the coming days. As odd as it sounds, I'm grateful I'm not having to continue with pain medication at this point, because I want to fully experience what I've done to my balls. I really want to enjoy losing most of the size of my testicles.
If push comes to shove and I end up losing my testicles as a result of this process, I'm also comfortable with that. I've spent most of my life with giant balls and the last dozen years or so of a tiny penis due to lack of testosterone production. It's been extremely uncomfortable and, frankly, embarrassing. I'd much rather have little in my shorts.
I think I'm on my way, and I'm delighted at this point.
