Gotcha. I've noticed that going from 50mg twice per week deep IM to 22mg eod shallow IM/subQ brought my free T from top 3rd to very top of range on trough. But, my hct and hgb also began to rise to 51.9 and 18.1. I've since dropped to 16mg eod for a couple weeks but felt awful, so bumped to 18mg eod so far and hoping to keep hgb and hct controlled. Sleeping better and less achy but not quite right yet. But, i still felt better and slept so much better at 22mg eod. Haven't slept that good in 5 years.I don't think comparing the same dose per week of 1 IM shot versus 2 subq shots leads to more testosterone. What it does is smoothing peaks and valleys, so testosterone tests may catch what seems more testosterone blood levels. Having lower peaks may lower the chances to stimulate more red blood cell production.
I also think lower dose subcutaneous (or shallow IM) doses can decrease chances of water retention and blood pressure. At least that is my experience.
