I haven't tested my blood work yet so no idea. Best part to inject for are IM delts.
Yes of course I will. SubQ shots gave me skin redness and small bumps I think from very slow absorption I couldn't do them daily. You are right about daily delt shots but is the easiest to apply and the quickest to absorb. Second best choice would be IM glutes.Ok please let us know when you get the results of your blood work?
Have you tried sub Q shots into the glute fat? That method would be easiest for me to adhere to. Daily delt shots must get old very fast.
When you say subq, what size needle do you use and where do you inject? TxFor what it's worth, today marks around 12 weeks of me using prop.
Yes, if you read my story on page 2 (post #36) of this thread, I have on occasion strayed from the usual daily regimen. But I would say 90%+ of the days in the first 10 weeks were 20mg prop daily subq (140mg week) in the AM. Past 2 weeks were 105mg (15mg daily). As of today, I have dropped to 10mg daily AM for the foreseeable future.
Things are still rock hard. Sleep is still shitty.
One last thing - on four days randomly (not recurring days) recently I have popped 5mg generic Valium (diazepam) out of sheer desperation. Sleep was good, but erections went soft the next 24 hours or so. Thereafter things go rock solid titanium again - along with the return of crappy sleep. Just going to keep dropping the prop dose as time goes on and see what happens.
When you say subq, what size needle do you use and where do you inject? TxBased on my most recent lab blood work testing at 4 hr post, 10 hr post and 24 hr post/trough with Prop @ 15mg/ed SQ.... I am happy and feel I am in the best position that I'm ever gonna be in with TRT at this point. I don't believe it's coincidence that my sleep is slowly improving especially as I can see how my levels gradually drop from Peak to trough with no ridiculous supraphysiological swings at any point. Only improvement I could see to do is to inject at 5am instead of my usual 730-8am.
