[QUOTE="madman, post: 160932, member: 13851"] Question here is what protocol did you feel best on IM or sub-q? Sure.....there is roughly a 300+ ng/dl difference in your TT levels IM vs sub-q.....but was your blood work done at the same time and day (trough day) and using the same lab? Regarding absorption the main difference would be that absorption when injecting sub-q may be some what slower than IM. Aside from ester used.....injection volume and location can also have an impact on absorption rates. Regarding your FT.....no way they would be almost the same when you were running a TT 1279 ng/dL compared to a TT 935 ng/dL unless your SHBG level changed.....and even than highly doubtful your FT levels are accurate as you had it tested using the piss poor direct immunoassay. If you truly want to know where your FT levels sit than you would need to use the most accurate testing method such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration (next best) or simply use the newer calculated TruT method available online to the general public.
