at this time having some very mild estrogen sides, so hope for better control of estro, by eliminating much of the gap between peak and trough and having a more stable level, also with IM ( I have been using 27g 1/2" ) I have been getting more sore the last couple of injects, I had this problem before, I do not know why, the best I could find is with twice a week most people had better control of E, and some ended up lowering their dose.
out of curiosity why do you dislike sub q? well, in the past I ran many cycles with no problems, even used 23g, then one time I stayed on for damn near 2 years, and the last 2 months I started having the same issue, I have been off everything for 6 years, not even on trt, so I did not think this was going to be an issue again
