Is anyone aware of any recent studies that I can present to my doctor about Sub Q vs Intramuscular shots. I would like to try Sub Q, but want to be able to provide my doctor with some info on my next visit.

Also, any evidence that Sub Q can lower estrogen levels?

I am currently on IM 150mg/week split into two doses. I would like to try the Sub Q route to avoid repeated injections into the muscle and possibly lower estradiol levels.

My sensitive estradiol is 41 on the 10-40 scale. Was measured on the Monday morning before my shot was due (my injection schedule is Monday AM and Thursday PM)

Or would you all just stick with IM? Currently I am doing ventrogluteal with a 25 gauge, 5/8" needle.

Thanks.
