[QUOTE="madman, post: 155562, member: 13851"] Sub-q is very common but there are also many that use i.m. There should be no difference in the effectiveness between sub-q/i.m. although some men state they have experienced sub-par results when injecting sub-q. If anything the main difference would be that although the T ester will control the release rate of T.....absorption sub-q may be some what slower than i.m. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of androgen esters is mainly determined by ester side-chain length, volume of oil vehicle, and site of injection. Do what is best for you and the only way you would truly know is to try i.m. for 6 weeks and have blood work done than switch to sub-q for 6 weeks and have blood work done to see how said protocol (dose T/injection frequency) effects your TT/FT/E2 levels and to gauge how you feel overall on said protocol. Mind you not only will hormone be in flux during the weeks leading up to once levels have stabilized but it can take a few months for the body to adapt to the new levels.....so to truly gauge how one feels overall on sub-q vs i.m. than after your blood levels stabilize at 6 weeks.....give it a few months to truly see how you feel. Otherwise if you are just solely concerned about numbers (TT/FT/E2 levels) and what method is better than try each protocol for 6 weeks than have blood work done! [/QUOTE]
