It’s been 4 weeks from increasing my dose from 100mg to 62mg q3.5d schedule. If I wanted to see if i would feel a difference switching from sq to I’m. How long do in run this does before seeing if my body likes I’m better. Do I give it 6 weeks draw labs. The six weeks I’m and draw lbs. or go by how my body feels?

Presuming that you have a sufficient dose I don’t know why you would feel any different injecting IM rather than SQ.
 
Going from SQ to IM or vice versa is the same as making changes to your protocol and therefore another 6 weeks of fluctuations until a stable state.
 
I agree after 6 weeks, you should be in a stable state. I usually have to wait around 12 weeks before I feel a difference. So that's how long it wait before I get labs.
 
thanks was just curious. when I did im it seemed like I felt good from 24-36 hours then a it would taper down a little until next shot with sub q it seem like I feel good more towards the end of the 3.5 and feel best about 12 hours before next shot. I don't know mabey its in my head mabey its long hours mabey its stress who knows.

its been about 5 weeks thought id feel a little bit more of a boost with the increased dose. only thing I notice so far is better sleep and blood pressure is labile again.

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.
