Even the veterinary studies don't show T going to zero but stabilizing around 100 ng/dl, which is pretty close to where I am. That's more than I want, so they'll probably have to come out so that my inner girl will be able to emerge fully.
Something else to consider - if you did use enough of a strong enough concentration the first time, it works its way through the ball hardening the parenchyma. If you go back a second time, paths with be hardened off making it impossible to reach all areas.
It is still difficult to get perfect coverage, but it seems that starting with a needle that just makes it into the upper third (but not into the collecting ducts and epididymous so much - they do have pain nerves, unlike the testicle itself, so that can have a temporary burning discomfort), and slowly delivering in a 'line' on withdrawal, making sure it's all dispensed before you reach the surface, is the best you can do. 1.5mL seems to be a number we're agreeing on, but if you have a particularly small or large ball, I could see carefully adjusting that up or down a few tenths of a mL (say 1.1mL for small, or 1.9mL for quite large). Mine was quite large, and 1.1mL took a long time to finish (almost 10 months) - but I also used an aqueous solution, not ethanol, and I only injected once. I think it's hard to over-state that for safety.
Also keep in mind, physically castrated men may immediately drop below 20ng - but some still come in at almost 100ng almost entirely from the T produced by the adrenals. It depends on the person, so don't feel so rushed to get results.
