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 zone, high by 20 points. I didn't really notice any impact on my physical or mental well being. I inject daily and tested 39 hours after testing, which (actually) was about 14 hours later than I normally test. I could not schedule an appointment for the afternoon after dosing, like normal, so I had to wait until the following morning. That means, at least to me, that my numbers were probably even higher at my normal testing, 24 hourish mark. I was on my same AI dose, and my E number was about my typical. So, with the much higher T numbers and similar E number, it appears that the IM approach did help with E.
Not looking for feedback...just sharing my experiences. I meet with the doc next week. He might want to cut my dose back, but I'm leaning towards returning to SQ. It's just so much easier and I felt about the same on both.
