Sub-Q - where?

[GreenMachineX]

For those doing subq, where are you injecting that? Abs, love handles, anywhere? And does that really just mean injecting into the fat? I can't explain it, but I'm nervous about trying it.

For my sub q injections, I only use the love handles.

Right into the fat, correct?

yes, straight into the fat.

2nd on the love handles.

The most common injection sites for strictly sub-q would be the abdominal region, love handles.

The upper/outer thigh is also used by many.

If you are using an LDS fixed insulin syringe 29-31G whether 8MM or 6MM needle length there are numerous sites to choose from.

What needle length used whether (12.7MM/8MM/6MM) comes down to preference/how much adipose at the injection site chosen.

And does that really just mean injecting into the fat? I can't explain it, but I'm nervous about trying it.

You have been on the forum since 2017and it is hard to believe you would ask such.

Recent Labs 5/17

Hey everyone, here are some recent lab results using 24mg eod test cyp sub-q/shallow IM for about 6-8 weeks. I feel much more relaxed and anxiety is lower, blood pressure is lower than 50mg twice per week. The problem now is my memory and brain function are quite low. I'm sleeping great...

Maybe time to start attacking preg and dhea since both those are verified low as well. Morning wood is finally present as well but libido could definitely be improved. Looks like I shouldn't go up on test dose anymore according to hematocrit and hemoglobin, right?

Labs from EOD Protocol

When is the follow up blood test? I think I'm going to drop to what your using, 15mg EOD. After thinking it through, if 22mg eod took me up to 51.9 hct and 18.1 hgb after only 8 weeks, I'm sure it was going to keep climbing and I don't want to end up in a dangerous situation by the next labs...

Right on. Something interesting i think I'm noticing between sub q and shallow IM. The few weeks I've went with sub q I start having trouble sleeping again, but those 6 or so weeks I was shallow IM I slept fantastic. I also think with sub q confidence and such was way too high (borderline just a jerk at times) and not who I want to be. Granted, I didn't have the full recommended time at each level but maybe those with low shbg adapt faster to adjustments?

I realized I wasn't actually subq. You've never been wrong about something...?

Fair enough.

You still should very well know that sub-q means injecting into adipose as you have been on the forum since 2017 and there are numerous threads/posts discussing such.

I actually thought it meant in between the fat and muscle, not specifically into the fat.

And to add to that, I never bothered looking at it deeper because I thought I knew what it was. Just straight up wrong from info I got 18 years ago.

Just shove a short needle into a love handle and inject. You can pinch a little skin and fat together to make it easier. That’s all you need to do. You’ll be fine.
