sub q

Hello everyone, I’m a 27-year-old male, 155 lbs, 5”11 and I want to share my journey so far. I’ve been athletic my whole life, playing soccer, hockey, and rugby. I was even on my national soccer team for a few years. In high school, I transitioned to competitive kickboxing. I went through...

I’ve started injecting test c subcutaneously in the belly region on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. I am doing 20mg per injection, may push it to 25mg depending how I feel down the road. I usually pinch the belly fat and inject on a 45 degree angle. I’m using 29G 1/2” insulin syringes...

So I’m starting my first cycle of TRT and I will be injecting subcutaneously EOD. I understand some people use insulin needles, I’m not super comfortable with the idea of drawing and injecting with the same needle. I’ve been looking for 0.5ml lure lock needles but haven’t found any. I’m...

I was on Androgel until last year, when it seemingly stopped absorbing so i was switched to compounded cream. Well, it worked great for two weeks, but then it wouldn't absorb consistently either. So the doctor switched me to T-Cyp in grapeseed oil, which I started last week. I'm now doing T-cyp...

Hi All, I'm in the UK and I've been using Sustanon 250 for many years, I split each 1ml/250mg Amp into 2 injections and take them once per week, (0.5ml/125mg) sub-q in the glute using an insulin needle (1ml/29g). To split the amp I pull the stopper out of the back of the insulin needle inject...

Im wondering if all subQ injection site yield to same absorption/levels of injectable medication. I would guess yes, but especially curios to hear anecdotes Im about to start Progesterone subQ but didn’t have good luck with testosterone SubQ, I was injecting on the upper outer part of the...

Hello - I received my first batch of Testosterone Cypionate and HCG from Defy Medical. They sent 27 gauge 1/2" Easy Touch syringes for the Test (for SubQ), and 30 gauge for the HCG (for SubQ). These syringes do not have removable needles. They sent no alcohol wipes and no drawing needles. The...

This is a bit wordy but I want to share what is working for me take get estrogen under control. I've been on TRT for over 6 years and estrogen has been my challenge. If you have battled this issue while on TRT, maybe this will work for you. And maybe I'm a slow learner and most of solving the...

So I started hcg about 3 weeks ago and I injected with a 25g 5/8 on a 45 degreen angle zero bruising. But as recommended I sourced fixed tip BA insulin 27ga 1/2" needles and injected and received a nasty bruise. I have a vacation coming up in 3 weeks and I don't want bruises all over my...

I’ve recently switched from Test Cyp sub q, to Enanthate sub q, and been getting really bad itches on different parts of body (not around the injection site). Also skins been very red and raised after scratching or even shaving (never was before). Has anyone experienced this before, could it...

Theres certainly a wealth of discussion on here about subQ injections, but im having a hard time finding anything on potential cons of increased dosing (i.e. 3x weekly imstead of 2). My limited understanding from reading this forum is that it would just promote better feeling/perception/flow...

About a month ago, I switched from 2x a week IM (3.5 each time) to 2x a week Sub-Q (same). Drawing oil into that insulin needle is excruciatingly slow and makes me wonder if there is a better way? The injection itself is wayyyyyy easier than IM, but the process is slow. I haven't gotten the...

After my last 2 HCG injections sub-q in the belly I got these strange bloody marks on the skin, almost immediately. Am I injecting incorrectly?

I was injecting 40mg 2 times a week IM (Test C) at that time I was having to donate blood every 4 months which crashed my ferritin. 2 years ago I lowed it to 15mg EOD sub-q My new results are attached. Problem is I feel like I have aged 20 years. Low drive, low energy etc. I think its time to...

Hi all. I've been taking test E IM x three a week... 100 mg a week. Has done nothing for me. Apart from feeling moody , snappy and no libido.. I decided to change to subq and libido has got better from the first injection.... Now what u want to know is can I inject test E every day or should I...

Hi I have been on trt for several years and injecting Sub Q for 2 years and kept my test between 700-800. It all of a sudden quit working. I have continued sub Q and nothing has changed. I have tried 2 different fresh vials from Walgreens and different locations with no results. Has anybody...

I'm trying to do only deep IM injections, noticing this works best for me. Sub-q is out of the question, but also I've done a 6-8 weeks of shallow IM when I have used cypionate and my levels were not where they should have been for the given dose. I've injected in delts and ventroglute with 29g...

I've injected SQ since starting TRT two years ago. In my search to lower E or at least the effects and to benefit from TRT, I started injecting my deltoids, for this blood work cycle. That was the only change. My total T was up by 300 and my FT was up by about 80 and my ASL was outside the...

I am a daily injector (29 gauge 1/2 inch) I was injecting outer thigh shallow IM for a while, concerned about scar tissue moved over to inner thigh (which is more fatty). Has worked well so far, but had the expect increase in E2 and decrease in TT as most see with a move to sub-q, though it is...

Hello, so I just went back on injections. It’s been over a year and a half since I was on them and sort of forgot the good spots for injecting. I am doing my upper thigh for sub Q. But I remember hearing the stomach was pretty good for sub Q. What was the benefits of sub q over IM? Also my e2...

I have started doing sub q injection and it burns once the injection is done is something wrong?

Now I'm on subq 40 units 2 times a week 180mg. How do you calculated the the units into mg?

My doctor asked if I wanted to switch to injecting with insulin needles, I tried it and it takes forever to draw from the bottle. I read that you can heat it and draw at least 3x faster. Would this degrade the quality of the testosterone? as always thank you.

Last month my total T was 800. My protocol was 80mg weekly Test Cyp divided in 2 doses with 250 units HCG twice a week. I switched to sub-q injections, same exact protocol except I increased the HCG to 350 units twice weekly. Had blood draw Monday. After being on this protocol for 4 weeks my...

Hi all, I’m 7 weeks into TRT with defy. I’m 40. Was in the mid 400’s TT since my mid 20s and finally felt too low so made the switch from Clomid monotherapy to TRT. Currently at 80mg twice a week. Been doing subq. Felt an immediate lift in mood, morning erections, muscle fullness, etc for the...

Was wondering with EOD injections what your dose per week equals. Say someone was doing 30mg EOD would that equal 120mg a week? And if you go up by 10mg does that just add 30mg per week. So say it was 40mg EOD would that equal 150mg per week? And so on. Because some weeks it’s 3 days a week...

I do 60mg monday/thursday IM injections no AI. Never any problems unless a miss a day then I get a headache. I started subQ this week and did monday/thursday. 24 hour after each injection the headaches started. They come and go so my e2 is not horribly low but it did go down. Does it take longer...

Just tried sub q test for the first time a couple of days ago and unfortunately a small lump/nodule has formed. The skin is also red around the area. It's not overly sore but is tender to the touch. I read that nodules can occur from time to time so hopefully its nothing more than that ie...

What's up everyone? I'm trying to do sub q into my thigh just so I'm not doing all my shots in my stomach area just for rotation. How high up on your thigh do you do it? I'm going to be using a 30G 1/2 inch needle. Do any of you use sub q thigh area?

Why is it that every doctor that I have told that I am doing sub q injections are like "Those are supposed to be done via Intramuscular." Even the nurses at the place I'm getting my testosterone has said the same thing. It's very annoying. I have to tell them to look at my chart where it says...
