First subq burns.

I have been going in the thighs and shoulder shallow IM and just started subq today in my love handle after the shot it burned like alcohol was in there for a couple minutes. Is this usual?
 
It could be a little pain from the alcohol. Are you injecting testosterone Sub-Q or HCG.
Cyp. Just started with defy and she told me to start subq. Still waiting for my first shipment from them. I'm a little overweight. 5'10" and like 220 with muscle from working construction.they are starting me at 40mg EOD They gave me dim and anastrazole up to 4 times a week. Hcg
 
SubQ is worth trying but if your former injection method was working I wouldn't stray from it.
I'm using a 28g-1/2" needle SubQ.
Also I have only been injecting IM for about 28 days and I'm now changing my dose from 100mg a week split up 3 times to 40mg eod. So are there any reasons why I shouldn't go with sub q? I'm already changing everything up and adding HCG.
 
I have been doing subQ for almost four years. The only time I ever experience the burning sensation is if I inject into belly fat. It never happens if I use the areas around my hips.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
