I was going to do my 1st injection tonight but chickened out. 2 reasons. 1st, there didn't seem as much of it as I thought. This is because the vial is in mg and the syringe is in cc. How many ccs is 150mg? I ended up sticking the needle in the vial twice to check that I had got it all, but I think there must be a better way of doing it. 2nd, I simply got squeamish about sticking a needle in my butt. Still can't figure the best way to do it.

[Concentration]=Amount of substance per volume of fluid

Dosage=[Concentration]xVolume.

Volume=Dosage/[Concentration]

For example. Let's say that you have 10 mg of drug in 4 ml of fluid. The concentration would then be 2.5 mg/mL. Let's say you need deliver 15mg drug.The volume delivered is thus 15mg/2.5(mg/mL)=6mL. Note that the units cancel out.

As far as I can tell by checking only one pharmacy, 150mg/vial is a standard size. If that is what you purchased, you would use the entire contents.

As for the needle, just do it or have yourself bound up and properly restrained while someone else shoots you in your posterior. There are other injection sites (thighs, abdomen, etc.), but you will need to consult other literature about these sites.

You still didn't mention cc's. I had about 0.5 ccs in the syringe.

1 cubic centimeter (cc) is 1 milliliter (mL).

Furthermore, since I've given you the general form, you can work out the specific form for your concentration and dosage. This is basic chemistry here. They cover it in the first two weeks and assume you know it. Even so, the volume to deliver is blatantly obvious to anyone who bothers to ponder the units.

I will assume that you wish to inject 300 mg and that you have obtained 150 mg depoprovera suspended in 1 mL of fluid (a concentration of 150 mg/mL or 150 mg/cc).

300mg =Volume*150 mg/mL

Volume= 2 cc = 2 mL= .4 teaspoons

I do regret typing this out for if you cannot perform the simplest of algebra and unit conversions, you have no business self-medicating yourself. Also note that these calculations, although they use medicinal numbers and values, are not intended as medical advice.

RTFM,

The vials are indeed 150mg/ml. Now that I know that 1cc = 1ml I can indeed calculate that I should have 1cc in the syringe. Which brings me back to my original point - there was only 0.5 to 0.6 ccs in the syringe, less than I expected. Of course I squeezed some out removing the air, but not half of it. If you can restrain yourself from being sarcastic for a moment maybe you might explain it.

Perhaps you were a bit nervous at the time. Perhaps the syringe was too small. Also take a close look at which way the syringe is labeled. It may be labelled in such a way that the amount delivered is indicated.

If you need further information, why don't you go to your doctor and have a shot and carefully observe what the

or doctor does?

If you avoid people you can not be a misanthrope.

The highest form of misanthropy is coercion.

Coercion is a hatred for life.

If you avoid people you can not coerce them.

Contrary to the foolish talk that is popular,

only your deeds are test of your misanthropy.

It has been my observation that many people

who belong to groups that would traditionally

be considered the object of misanthropy seem

to love coercion.

There is a place for everything.

There is a place for hate.

People who substitute mischief for social justice

are not only to be hated, but destroyed.

You have provided only an abstract.

If you are outside the law,

then you should seek help.

Your hatred may be healthy.

If it is just, it is to be cherished.

This is the will of Mother Nature.

Nothing can stop it.

So, buck up.

It's better to be the victim, than the criminal.

I don't understand your definition of misanthrope. It seems to me that if he states that he does not like people and he is being honest then he does fit the simple definition of misanthrope (at least in my humble opinion)

Main Entry: mis·an·thrope

Pronunciation: 'mi-s&n-"thrOp

Function: noun

Etymology: Greek misanthrOpos hating mankind, from misein to hate + anthrOpos human being

: a person who hates or distrusts mankind

OK, what the hell is going on with you? Did you shake the vial before withdrawing the contents? If not, most of it will be left in the bottom.

RE:Injecting. You should use a different needle as a filler needle so that the one you use for injecting stays nice & sharp. Just put the needle on the skin at the injection site & give a quick jab. If you sit like I suggested the skin will be tight enough so that you will barely feel it. Once you have broken the skin there will be no pain until you enter the muscle, which you will hardly feel. If you are still afraid of pain put an ice cube in a baggy & hold it on the skin until it is numb. Once you have given yourself your first shot you will have mastered a tecnique that will come in handy in the future.

Still having problems with Depo-Provera. I've managed about three injections, neither of which gave me the full dosage. I had another which I abandoned because whatever I did there were still air bubbles in the damn syringe, and another where in order to get the full dose I used two vials, but then found the needle had been blunted too much. I have as many needles as I have vials, so I don't have spare needles to use as fillers. Apart from which I hadn't noticed any difference anyway. Now I'm thinking of trying something else.
