I would have to agree with you that Testosterone metabolizes much quicker sub-q. It always gave me a litte rush when injected sub-q verse IM. HCG maybe so . I know when I injected HCG sub-q it sent me striaght into a tail spin . Never did try IM with HCG.
I will try it if and when I start back. Not sure at this point because all of the side effects that I have experienced with Test and HCG are gone and I'm back to normal. Not a bad thing now that I can pee a full stream with no medication.
I don't think it's healthy to take one med to offset the side effect of another unless itis completley medically necessary.
