Switching from IM to sub-q trt?

[20sam91]

will this pose a big problem in the short term to test levels? Does anyone know how much longer test takes to absorb when administered sub-q (on average)?

should start immediately GH , insulin etc are absorbed quickly. oil based would be about as long as IM i would say.

Are you using prop or cyp? I know the docs usually prescribe TRT doses subq and claim it lasts longer so only 1 injection per week vs 2 of Cyp.

I've tested in at the same values with sub-q and IM. There is no problem with short term test level, especially considering the half life of cyp and when it has been taken for weeks, months, or years.

I also have noticed no difference in well being between splitting 100 mg test cyp over two shots in a week versus taking it once per week.

I got switched over awhile back from IM to Sub Q, I actually like Sub Q better, still do 2 X per week.

Sub - Q is less optimal due to blood circulation. Muscle has much more blood circulation and dispersion is more consistent.

I just switched to Sub-q. I like it better. Only problem is it tends to burn a bit at the injection site. I think the alcohol in the mix irritates more vs IM

using a small gauge needle and applying a lot of pressure can make the injection very high power and disrupt the tissue it hits. i have found a gentler stream to be less irritating.

That might be it. My last injection didn't have any burn. Thanks for the info
