Shallow Testosterone IM versus SubQ Injections - Lab Results

[mr.craig.smith]

As many of us have learned the hard way, the reality of subcutaneous injections is often quite different than the rosy picture painted by the studies.

I wish that I had started TRT on strictly SubQ so that I wouldn't have something to compare it to lol. From a clinical perspective, I understand why it is attractive; it achieves steady state testosterone levels within therapeutic levels. It appears it just doesn't "feel" as impactful for a lot of men, and the side by side comparison shows that it also doesn't achieve the same TT or FT levels compared to IM in many cases.

I do not think subQ is "bad" or "worse". Just really shows that each person responds to injections differently, and subQ is a great way to approach injections for some people.
