Unexpected lab results

[Novice489]

I'm on 50mg test cyp every 3.5 days and hCG 250iu 2x week. My last injection of 50ml was into my left love handle 24 hours before labs. Test came back at 592 (348-1197).

My last labs with some dose but IM came back around 1000.

What went wrong? I've had some inflammation and itching around subq sites could this be interfering?

Go back to IM why change what was working for you.

^^^ agree with XCRAIDER, sq doesn't work for everyone. that's a huge difference I would go back to IM or try another spot for SQ.

BTW Aux, you are self medicating and you get your test for UGL correct? if so then your gear might be under-dosed!

My current Test Cyp is pharma however I'm running out. Hoping to find a knowledgeable hrt doc before it does.

Subq has been hit or miss for people. Seems that people with less fat do better. But I agree with the above statements. Why switch? Like they say, if it isn't broke don't fix it.

Thought I would do less trauma by doing SubQ so I was willing to give it a shot. But between the lower test levels and the minor allergic reaction I seem to have at injection site I'm willing to conclude SubQ is not for me.

With IM injections as long as you use proper technique, rotate injection sites & don't use large bore needles you will not induce a noticeable amount of extra"trauma" than you will with SubQ.
