Injection Protocol for people with Low SHBG !!

I have to dose fairly high but with sub-q and EOD it seems to work well even with damn low SHBG I have to dose some with E control med but it's Avery workable protocol

Thanks Dr. John !!

What is the dose that you consider to be high? I tried 50mg every three days SQ, but that gave me insane prostate issues. Like actual semen coming out before a piss. So, instead of battling high E2 sides, I was battling high FT sides!

I thought injecting test every other day and poking almost 2,000 holes in your body over a 10 year period was a lot until I talked with a dude who was injecting insulin 4 times a day. Many guys seem to like the sub Q, I'm just not a fan. I prefer IM.

Injecting insulin is VERY different than injecting an oil. You aren't supposed to inject fat into fat, and that's why SQ for oil based medicine is "new territory." It can cause tissue necrosis. It's also why you get hard welts.
 
James, I've always heard that, there is no Avascular necrosis reported by people who inject Testosterone cypionate.
 
Vestpocket - I was thinking of scar tissue. Most insulin boards have several threads on the development of scar tissue. As for sub q,...seems most, if not all, of the most active guys on this site inject IM. I developed significant issues from injecting fat into fat, but people don't want to hear about it or believe it will happen to them. Us humans need to learn the hard way.
 
I changed, quickly, from injecting Cyp in my belly, what a nightmare of post injection pain and swelling. I went upper/outer thigh with a 1/2" and have been happy ever since. But to scar tissue, it seemed to me that at our ages and knowing the lifetime commitment you're going to have to deal with some scarring in the future. Rotating around sure helps.

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.
