Subq: Effective, lumps, etc.

[grilla]

I am interested in subq vs injections.

Have those of you who are subq noticed any changes in your BW? How long have you been subq?

Lumps...I've seen this listed as an issue often in other forums. Have any of you experienced it? If so,
were you using compounded T or brand name?

Thanks.

Lumps are very common, mine have always gone away though, regarding BW other members specifically Bass can give you a better read on that

like Bull said, lumps are common but in time they'll go away, i notice them more when i use compounded test, i guess its the different oils they use. i was doing sq injections eod at 26 mgs along with 250 iu hCG and 0.25 AI eod, my total T was above 800 and my free T was above normal. now i reduced my dose to 24 mgs eod, 200 iu hCG eod and 0.25 AI twice a week, and will do blood work soon to see where my levels are. i alternate between gluts and thighs (the fat on the thigh, not into the muscle, i go at very steep angle) and try to inject in different spots. so you can see at hat dose you will hardly get any lumps!

No lumps here, I inject on my stomach around belly button.. plenty of fat there.. lol.

I only got lumps when I did more than .5mg at a time and it was only the 1st time. I dont think there is a reason you would have to do it in the stomach either since we all have fat all over our body it's just a little thicker there.

I did not get blood test or do it long enough to really tell a difference. I plan on doing it again once my life calms down and I can remember to do it more than 1x a week. Right now even 1x a week is challenging believe it or not.

I have no issues with my compounded HCG . My Test cyp however I do get a lump that after a day or so starts itching like a bug bite and turns red. I massage it to help move the tissue around. I believe this is possibly some kind of histamine reaction to the oil, or some other reaction. Either way it always goes away in a few days. I always rotate my T injections on the right side of my belly and my HCG on my left side so they don't mix. Also if when I'm injecting it starts to hurt(from pressure) I inject the rest in another location to spread it out.

I still have a bruise thing from a couple months ago when I injected hcg too close to test a day apart. I never felt good doing it subq either, although it was pretty easy.

Thank you all for the replies.

I had hoped to read more stories from guys pinning subq long term with good results.

I would like to, but can't really wrap my head around subq'ing an oil base yet.

For me, the lumps are tied to amount I inject subq. Now that I am injecting subq EOD, I never get lumps. The lumps seem to be caused by the oil and our body's reaction to it. You probably have the same reaction in the muscle, just don't know it because the reaction is buried deep.

If you compound your Test, you can choose what oil you use. gdevince mentioned once that he uses a different oil. Maybe he can pipe up and tell us again what oil he uses for his Test.
