    Is there a better absorbed subQ injection site?

    I have been doing upper outer part of buttock, I turn my upper body to the side, pinch some skin, pull a bit and inject, no issues here, and I think the Progesterone is working. I will confirm with labs in a couple of weeks

    Is there a better absorbed subQ injection site?

    when you mean result, you mean that with a different injection site you obtained less test levels? I'm using my upper outer part of my buttox, almost around the hip area, injection is smooth over there. I do the HCG on stomach

    Is there a better absorbed subQ injection site?

    I felt that same feel good/calming sensation that I noticed before from the scrotal cream as well, just less than the cream though. Sleep a bit deeper and my nap in the afternoon also feels more restful. I'm not sure if that's Progesterone itself or some metabolites. I'm only at day two though...

    Is there a better absorbed subQ injection site?

    how long in between dose adjustments were you waiting to check levels? or when do you think steady level is achieved with SC Progesterone in oil? I couldn't find any data on this. I just started last night with 1.5mg, I believe I already felt it, it could be placebo thought.

    Is there a better absorbed subQ injection site?

    Im wondering if all subQ injection site yield to same absorption/levels of injectable medication. I would guess yes, but especially curios to hear anecdotes Im about to start Progesterone subQ but didn’t have good luck with testosterone SubQ, I was injecting on the upper outer part of the...

    Men: What has been your experience with progesterone?

    Thanks, if it wasn’t for you and cataceus we wouldn’t have any guidance on dosing. I believe Progesterone really balance testosterone, the more of one, will possibly require more of the other

    Men: What has been your experience with progesterone?

    It is! I just called my doc and asked for a reduction in concentration to 50mg/ml, I believe empower carries a pharma grade for this, probably what you showed me in the pic The maximum I got from the Pregnenolone caps or scrotal Progesterone was .5 or .7, I would look at least to get to...

    according to this paper, men produce anywhere from 0.416 to 0.75 mg/day of Progesterone "The production rate of endogenous progesterone and hence the natural progesterone levels inplasma show a large variation, depending on the species, sex, age and physiological status. Inhumans, the...

    Men: What has been your experience with progesterone?

    thanks. My doc just approved a 100mg/ml, I think 50mg/ml may help better with dosing. He put me down to start at 2/3mg daily SQ, probably a bit too much to start, however injecting testosterone SQ in the past resulted in much less absorption for me, maybe that is why he wants me to start at...

    Men: What has been your experience with progesterone?

    I think it comes to the delivery method used. Anything that goes to the first pass in the liver or that is applied to the skin could totally have a non physiologic effect, so more like a drug effect. I believe the injection route of administration for Progesterone probably the closet to...

    Permanent side effect from Pregnenolone?

    Hi guys, I mentioned in the past that using Pregnenolone cream enhanced my color perception, especially the flashing colors which I would describe almost disturbing. However, when I would generally stop the cream the side effect would disappear within few days. I haven’t used the cream now for...

    RBC won't lower, what else could it be?

    @Blackhawk I bought a Sp02 monitor on Amazon and I’m generally have anything from 2 to about 5 drops per night to 91% oxygen saturation. Not concerning as far as sleep apnea I believe, but possibly just enough for the TRT to give more chance to the body to make more RBC. My HR doesn’t even...

    RBC won't lower, what else could it be?

    What do you think about an Apple Watch? I’m thinking to get a new one, it does also record Sp02, HR and body temp. I believe the upcoming one may have a blood glucose monitor as well
