Subcutaneous testosterone injections

Day 10
30 units, 60mg subcutaneous cypionate injection. I have increased the volume 10 units to see how the depot feels. Still no problems.
 
I cannot see anything unusual at the 10 injection sites around my abdomen. I can feel a very slight inflammation about the size of a dime under the skin in a few places. It is very small and only detectable when I gently press on the injection site. It is only in a couple of them and the rest are not inflamed at all. I like the protocol and will experiment with it some more.
 
I skipped yesterday's administration so I could experiment with larger volumes of Cypionate. I shot 40 units/80mg subcutaneously this morning with no problems so far.
 
In the first post the trial used 1/2 cc every week. Based on this I think that is a totally appropriate volume. I am still experimenting but I am guessing that's about as much as will be comfortable.

I have been reading various methods for SC injects and it seems 3 injects a week is common with doctor recommendations but I have gone every day to see for myself. I also have been in contact with others who are using higher concentrations of AAS. One patient is using 300mg/ml Enanthate for his SC injections so that a larger mg can be injected with a smaller volume.
 
To be honest I prefer the IM injects because you feel like the testosterone is hitting you where the SC injects just feel like I am natural. I think for guys running Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) or older patients who want more comfortable injections SC is the way to go but for running cycles IM is better in my humble opinion.
 
Ok, that was my log. In the end I decided I liked IM better than Sub C. If I do this again I will use 300mg/ml enanthate so that smaller volumes can be injected. The bumps under my skin were annoying so less volume would be desirable. This is a great method for a cruise or female application.
 
In December of 2009 I tried a Subc run with Tren Acetate.

No Tren cough for the first time ever on 100% of the injects. YAY!
 
Here is another study showing normal serum levels administering testosterone subcutaneously.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of low doses of subcutaneous testosterone in hypogonadal men since the intramuscular route, which is the most widely used form of testosterone replacement therapy, is inconvenient to many patients.

METHODS: All men with primary and secondary hypogonadism attending the reproductive endocrine clinic at Royal Victoria Hospital, Monteral, Quebec, Canada, were invited to participate in the study. Subjects were enrolled from January 2002 till December 2002. Patients were asked to self-administer weekly low doses of testosterone enanthate using 0.5 ml insulin syringe.

RESULTS: A total of 22 patients were enrolled in the study. The mean trough was 14.48 +/- 3.14 nmol/L and peak total testosterone was 21.65 +/- 7.32 nmol/L. For the free testosterone the average trough was 59.94 +/- 20.60 pmol/L and the peak was 85.17 +/- 32.88 pmol/L. All of the patients delivered testosterone with ease and no local reactions were reported.

CONCLUSION: Therapy with weekly subcutaneous testosterone produced serum levels that were within the normal range in 100% of patients for both peak and trough levels. This is the first report, which demonstrated the efficacy of delivering weekly testosterone using this cheap, safe, and less painful subcutaneous route.

SubQ is a good option for HRT. It appears to provide more stable estro and T levels. Cashout has been experimenting with this as well.
 
Great info Heavyiron! This is really geared toward testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and females like you said. I might try a few 1/4 cc injections on my next run just to test it like you did.

Thank you,

After this experiment back in 2009 I decided to pin IM with 1/2 inch 29 gauge slin pins in lean muscle groups. I very much liked the results and how the injections went. I may have to dig up some old posts and share with you guys.
 
For my first cycle all I did was 29 gauge .5 inch insulin needle loaded with 200mg/1ml cyp every 3.5 days into delts. Gains seemed fine. Couldn't afford bloodwork.

Thanks and keep us updated with more info
 
Im about to start Sustanon250 @ 750mg per week
I plan on running Arimidex .25 ed and Nolvadex as PCT.

Ive read your studies and wanted your input on doing this subq. I have already ordered and received my slin pins which are 29g 1cc 1/2". I like the idea of also trying the slin pins for IM injects. Not sure what I want to do.

Thanks for any help or tips you can provide.

My stats:
31 yo/ 6'2"/ 215lbs (not sure my bf%)
