My 'cycle' & Injecting Peptides I.M instead of S.C?

Hello everyone,

First off some stats about myself:

36 years old, 200 lbs

Prescription:
*Test Cyp 200mg/ml & Anastrozole 1mg/ml : 0.3ml 2x p. week(into thigh muscle using s.c needle)
*Anastrozole 1mg tablet : 1/2mg 1x p. week
*HCG 5000iu & Theanine 100mg : 0.3ml 2x p. week (into belly fat using s.c needle)
*Sermorelin&Theanine&GHRP-2 15mg/75mg/6mg : 0.2ml 3-4x p.week (into thigh muscle using s.c needle)
NOTE: An additional dosage of Anastrozole was added to address a shigher reading of Estrogen (63) at the 3 months mark.

Starting blood work:

TT: 340
E:29.21
FT:6.78
SHBG: 33.31
DHEA-S:364.34
Prog: 1.24
Cortisol: 25.58
Hemoglobin:15.8
Hematocrit: 47.4
General Feeling: Life sucks. I don't work out and look old as *&*&

Recent blood work (5 months in)

TT: 1227.71
E:43.04
FT:38.4
SHBG: 20.26
DHEA-S:374.18
PSA: 1.59
Prog: 0.83
Cortisol: 10.83
Hemoglobin:15.1
Hematocrit: 45.3
General Feeling: Awesome. I work out between 3-5 times a week. People comment that I lost weight and look a lot younger. Still a lot to go...but I am heading into the right direction.

Questions:

1. Any general comments about my 'stack' would be much appreciated. Does anything look off? Dosing?
2. The prescription notes said to only inject the peptides into the thigh muscle using the provided s.c. needles. I guess it's because of bio availability, but I've only heard about injecting peptides s.c into belly fat. Advantages/Disadvantages?
3. If one were to augment the peptide schedule with CJC1295/No Dac, Hexarelin and or GHRP-2, what would a good schedule look like?
4. What should I be looking out for in the coming months?

Thank you for everyone that answers in advance. Forums like this one have been a great resource for me to turn my life around.
 
SQ and IM only have anything to do with the size of the needle you can use, nothing else matters, there's no absorption factor at play and those that claim such is purely anecdotal and even that's suspect.

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.
