I think I am making this too complex...

Question

I am not the best at math, that being said I think I am making this more complex then I need to be. I also have a needle phobia so that isn’t helping, never mind the low T brain fog that I constantly have. Anyways...

I’ve been prescribed the following:

Test Cypionate 200 mg/ml – 0.40 ml inject IM/SQ twice weekly (25G, 5/8” needle (1cc syringe)

What was ordered:

Testosterone Cypionate 200mg/mL, 10mL (Compounded)

What was delivered:

Testosterone Cypionate in GSO (5 ml) 200mg/ml (in two vials)

My question:

How much cc/ml - units do I withdraw into the syringe for each shot if I am doing 2 shots a week?

40cc? (Based on the .4ml from the above Rx) , seems too much. Or should it be 4cc, which doesn’t seem like it is enough.

This is supposed to last me 3 months (2 shots a week) and I don’t see how it could if it is 40cc. So that is why I am asking for some help, as I want to make sure I am pulling and injecting the right dose. Thanks in advance.

Also are there any online calculators that would help me w these basic conversions?

TL;DR: Please ELI5... what # do I fill the syringe up to?
