Pinning test sub q versus IM

[Betman144]

I`m new to all this, been reading alot on the site tho.

My question is what r the pros and cons for injecting test sub q?
Like no scar tissue build up and such?

Any of u testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) guys inject sub q?

Thanks

Here is some info on the subject.

If you search the forums on "subq" you will find a lot of information ands discussion."

Basically, you can do either. Doesn't matter. Some people get painful lumps under their skin with subq though.

I've tried both IM and SubQ. With either technique, there's no need to use anything bigger than a 0.5" 29 gauge insulin needle.

IM can tend to aromatise more. Also left me feeling like I had a massive dead leg for days, although I'm told that this lessens the more you inject in a certain site.

SubQ is quick, easy and usually painless, although as megatron points out, occasionally it is possible to get a sore bump under the skin that lasts for a few days.

For me, SubQ is the winner.

SubQ is under the skin at a 45 degree angle right?

Sub q for me. It's easier for me. I use a 29 gauge .5 inch slin pin. Takes a tad longer to draw the test.
