    What needle length for IM TRT? Thinking of changing from subQ to IM to feel better

    There has been discussion amongst some of us that sub q is not as effective. I started. like a lot of us, at 200 mg every 2 weeks. I went to weekly and then every 3.5 days. Then jumped to daily a couple years back I have similar free t numbers taking 84 mg a week as I did with 100 mg/ week...

    Guys on daily SubQ

    Low T added T Gel, then Atrophy, added HCG ... now T Levels are dropping

    HCG caused my estradiol to rise higher than I feel good with, so I have accepted small nuts. I could probably take an AI to help with HCG induced estradiol increase, but trying to keep meds limited.

    More Evidence of Declining Testosterone During Last Decades

    Males sense when you look around and see sooo many beta class males with no drive and lack of what I would consider manly qualities. Combine that with so many boys being raised without a father, ugly future ahead

    IM or SubQ

    I always, with whatever med, start low and go slow. Every med out there has side effects, so the minimal amount I can take to reach my goals is perfect.

    How to proceed?

    DHEA, seems low as well as Free T. The free T is what is going to help you. It is what is not already bound up with SHBG and Albumin. You have very little left over. I feel best when mine is around 20-25. You may be a candidate for smaller more frequent injections. But I am not a Dr...
