I'm on TRT and have been having some issues stabilizing my test and estrogen levels lately. I've posted a couple threads about it.
After some advice from a couple guys on the forum and plenty of research, I've decided to try subQ injections. I'm not looking to debate the effectiveness or if it is better than IM, I'm just just looking for any tips or advice from anyone who's done it.
One thing I've read is that it is important not to inject more than .5cc which is no issue for me. I currently inject .4cc IM once a week. When I go to subQ I'll be injecting .2cc twice a week.
These are some of the pros and cons I've discovered from my research:
Pros:
More stable hormone levels
Lower hematocrit in some cases
Less test required in some cases
Easier to self inject (not an issue for me)
Less residual waste due to smaller syringe
Cons:
Fewer injection sites for rotation
Can be more painful than IM
Can cause lumps at injection sites
Limited volume per injection
I realize results can vary per individual anf i may not see the same positive effects others have but I think in my situation it is worth giving subQ a shot.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
