Test Cyp SubQ Dose to reach 800 - 1000 total test

[Tiffer]

Hi All,
After my bad experience with Clomid, I started 50mg Test Cyp E3D SubQ with a 27G 1/2 inch insulin syringe. No sides, and I feel much better. After 3 weeks I did bloods the day before my next shot. Total test was up from 322 to 530 ng/dl. Free test went from 91 to 158 pg/ml. E2 is around the same at 21 pg/ml. I take .25 mg Adex when my nipples get sensitive (around every 5 days).
Now I want to get into the 800 - 1000 range of total test. I felt testicular shrinkage so I have introduced 250IU HCG E3D day before my test shot.
I believe this can add 200 to your total test reading.
My question is should I up the dose of cyp? From what I have read most guys are on 100mg/week and my protocol equates to 117mg/week.
Could it be I just need more - say 70mg E3D? I have considered the fact that some say SubQ isn't as effective as IM but I like that it is easy to administer. I have also wondered if the dose is weight dependent. I am 242 pounds and around 25% body fat. I am insulin resistant so am working hard to get rid of the belly fat and would like to make some gains in the gym.
My SHBG is around 15 nmol/L - could this have an effect?
Any input is appreciated.

You are over thinking this. Just up the dose if your doc is on board and will write a script for more.

If you are on 117mg/wk, try going up to 160mg/wk. Get blood work in a month and see where that puts you. Adjust as necessary after that. Keep in mind that you may need more AI. You will also need to pin more frequently if you keep wanting to do subq.

Oh... most guys on TRT take between 100-200mg per week of test cyp.

so youre doing sub q injections.. you have not gotten any hard lumps?? jesus i went through hell doing sub q injections

Thanks Megatron - I will try this. SubQ has been great for me - I normally do my stomach and only once had a bruise - no lumping or pain. Perhaps it is because I have ample fat there! I have also tried up to 0,6ml - might have to switch to 200mg/ml cyp if I increase.

My doctor recommends sub q. She says the test is absorbed slower when injected into fat and therefore gives more even test levels.

I use a 29 gauge 1/2 inch insulin syringe in my thigh. I think that is IM. I have very little fat on my thigh and after the needle gets part of the way in, I can feel more resistance. Also, if I don't relax the muscle, it hurts.

The 29 gauge is probably smaller than ideal. It takes a lot of pressure to inject, but it does work.

My doctor recommends a dose of about 80mg/week, which keeps me at about 800 ng/dL, but I weigh less than 150 lbs.

200mg a week plus 600IU's a week of HCG puts me at 1000
