Injection locations

[Zooulie12]

Hello, so I just went back on injections. It’s been over a year and a half since I was on them and sort of forgot the good spots for injecting. I am doing my upper thigh for sub Q. But I remember hearing the stomach was pretty good for sub Q. What was the benefits of sub q over IM? Also my e2 was bottomed out for awhile while on the cream so i am trying to get my e2 up as well. Thanks for the help

I've never noticed a difference between sub Q and IM. IM seems easier and I inject in my shoulder. I didn't like the lumpy feeling my stomach when I injected there. I hear the legs have more veins and you shouldn't inject there, but I have injected in my thighs with no issues.

My favorite place to inject the VG.


Best testosterone injection site, no aspiration needed, avoids all nerves

Some guys get lumps when injecting oil based in the abdomen near the navel. I would on occasion, but the “love handle” and upper glute/low back area was great for me. I actually got higher numbers on sub q than IM, but some guys don’t absorb oil well sub q

This is far from common and even then unless those same individuals have kept everything consistent such as protocol (dose T/injection frequency), same ester, waiting the full 4-6 weeks for levels to stabilize, testing at the true trough, using the same lab, same assay (most accurate) when comparing lab results for TT/FT between sub-q vs IM than I would have my doubts.

Trust me when I tell you that some of these same individuals making such claims as poor absorption/lower T levels have slipped up on one of the points stated above.

For the majority, there should be no difference in the absorption let alone the effectiveness when injecting exogenous esterified testosterone subcutaneously.

Is Anastrazole truly necessary?

Subq injection of T feels much less effective than IM for me. I don't know anyone in the real world who injects T subq. It seems like an internet trend because someone read too deep into reddit or watched too many Dr. Crisler shirtless videos. Subq injection of T feels much less effective...

Subcutaneous Injection

When was testing done relative to injections? As long as you didn't have injection site leakage you should absorb the whole dose. SubQ has been shown to absorb a little more slowly than IM, but in the end you're getting all the testosterone. I injected sub q last Monday night, and tested Tuesday...

Nuff said!

Sub-q Testosterone Autoinjector is a safe and effective alternative method for TRT

Introduction: Xyosted® is a subcutaneous testosterone enanthate-autoinjector (SCTE-AI) which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2018 for patient-administered weekly testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Objective: This is the largest non-industry sponsored post-market study...

I totally agree that it is far from common, but I’m a member on a few trt ******** groups and a few people here and there are reporting lower lab values and lack of symptom resolution on sub-q compared to IM. Now obviously those people could be switching something else up and not mentioning it, only they would know. But just something to think about if someone starts off on sub-q or switches from IM to sub-q that it is a possibility.
