Test inj IM vs SubQ - Test Levels very different!

[cybrsage]

I wanted to give everyone some blood word test results of IM vs SubQ for Test Injection. I injected 80mg of Test-Cyp IM for months and my test level was in the lower 500s. I then switched to SubQ for a month and my test level was recorded as 253. A month should have been plenty of time for the SubQ injections to reach peak levels, right, especially considering I was moving from IM to SubQ?

I know a lot of people are thinking about the far less painful and no scar tissue SubQ, but if you do, make sure you test your Test level regularly to see if you have the same results as me.


EDIT: It was all done with pharmacy grade Test-Cyp as I have a prescription for it...all from the same manufacturer too.

Make s sense seeing the sub q vs IM ALLOWS FOR LESS BLOOD, WHICH PERMEATES DEEP PINS INTO DEEP MUSCLES VS THE SMALL CAPILARIES LOCATED BETWEEN THE SUB Q AND ACTUAL MUSCLE. (cap s lock get s stuck on this beater pc)

wHERE DID U PIN AND DID IT LEAVE...LIKE...A SMALL LY- OR HEMO- TOMA TYPE LOOKING THING FOR A COUPLE HOURS OR DAY S ? never HEARD OF DOING THIS WITH AN OIL...

Sub Q is shit for oil, i dont know who came up with that idea, when you can pin IM quads with a slin pin

Where did this basis come from, that a month should have been plenty of time for the SubQ injections to reach peak levels, right, especially considering I was moving from IM to SubQ?

TRT with 100mg of test cyp per week subq kept me around 1100 total. I never did IM, so no comparison, but the T has to go somewhere! I do prop subq now and stay around 1100 with small nightly injections of 12-13mg a night.

I did notice it took a long time to stabilize after changing doses when using cyp. I don't think 4 weeks is long enough to validate or invalidate. How frequently were you injecting?

Frequency of pins should show us more.

I was pinning twice a week, 0.4ml each time. No bumps were noticed afterwards (as in, a rise in the skin due to oil being there). I used 0.5in needles, 29g. I saw a video on it by some TRT doctor who is also a TRT patient. Wish I could remember who it was.

I figured a month should be good since I was moving from IM to SubQ. I did not expect the levels to plummet drastically in that amount of time. I stopped because I was afraid they would keep falling...

Did you feel any difference with lower test level?

If you didn't do labs, would you have continued subq?

Man, I hate forgetting to subscribe to my own threads!

I did not feel much difference, to be honest, but I am currently dealing with a trapped nerve, so all other things are secondary to that pain.

Yes, I would have continued SubQ for my TRT dose, not for anything higher since there would be too much liquid.

Keep up posted.

Once I drop back down to my normal TRT dose again, I will certainly do that. Most likely it will be a while, so I will just start a new thread.
