    Default Air travel with HRT meds

    I haven't flown since I started my HRT protocol. Next week I will be flying domestically on Southwest.

    I was wondering how the airlines deal with liquid prescription meds?
    I feel safer putting my testosterone in my carry on luggage than in my checked bags, but I'm not sure if security allows this.
    Will putting the bottle in a one quart ziplock bag be good enough? And what about the syringes?
    I really want to avoid any hassles.

    I was thinking maybe I should just keep the meds in the pockets of my pants. If I don't get x-rayed I'll get through. I smuggled Sinex nasal spray through like this before.... I know, I'm living on the edge!

    You will not have any problems with meds or pins. Keep scripts with you just in case. Take through in carry-on. I usually tell them in advance that I am carrying meds. With growth you need to keep cooled and ice pack is a flag. You will be surprised, but they really don't care about your meds. Safe trip.

    I always pack my shit in my checked luggage. The only danger is losing your luggage. I don't want to have to explain to anyone why I have AAS/GH on me, even if I have a script for some or all of it. I pack it in my toilet bag. No one ever opens your suitcase and your toilet bag to check for anything.

    I prefer to carry it on but the GI Joe security has given me a hard time about a tiny tube of toothpaste before! That's why I'm a little reluctant.

    If bottle of test that I pack in my checked bags was used for a couple of treatments (18 gauge needle to draw) is there a chance that some oil might leak out or does the hole seal pretty tight after you draw the needle out?

    .
    Assuming that the rubber stop does not heal the needle hole like it should, the best thing to do is to draw a little air out of the vial, say 2CC's. As the pressure changes in the cargo hold, the air in the vial, which now has a vacuum, will expand to normal capacity. You shouldn't lose any fluid.

    I've never had a problem and I've even checked loaded syringes.

    I just take a shot a few days early so I don't have to travel with anything...a week or so without isn't going to upset things much.

    Agree unless maybe you are in the middle of a very important cycle or something a week will be fine if using test E or C or any of the longer ester anabolics such as deca, EQ....

    I go through airport securety twice a week and have never had a problem with meds. The GH packed cold might raise a red flag, but they can't take it away. They won't even look at the needles.

    I carry food and all my protien powder with me and no problem. The only thing they took away was a jar of natural peanut butter ( I accused them of needing something for lunch ). I have even had a full rotissery chicken that I sent through the X-Ray. LOL

    Good Luck on your travels.
