Hello Everyone,
For the past three months, l've been doing subcutaneous testosterone cypionate injections every two days as recommended by my urologist to minimize side effects. However, I've been dealing with some acne on my back and face.
Today, I had a consultation with one of the top hormone doctors in Canada. He's much more hands-on, and I wanted his help to dial in my dosage. Initially, I had planned to start my testosterone treatment under his care, but the wait time was 4-6 months, and my testosterone levels were alarmingly low, so I couldn't wait.
During today's appointment, the doctor explained that when we begin treatment together, he will recommend intramuscular injections every five days. He mentioned that they experimented with subcutaneous injections 25 years ago but found intramuscular injections to be superior.
I understand that each doctor has their preferred methods, but I've often seen subcutaneous injections praised on Reddit and other forums.
Additionally, hCG will be increased to 400 ius EOD, from 250 ius x 3 per week. He said anything under 400 ius EOD does not maintain fertility and natural testosterone production.
I'd like to start a discussion here for anyone debating between subcutaneous and intramuscular injections. Let's share experiences and insights!
