    IM or subq

    I am currently taking 1.5ml every other week IM in the gluts. currently my wife gives me the shots but she don't like to. I have seen on here and know people who give them at the subq level. Which is better? and generally what are the needles used?

    Thanks

    yes SQ and you can split your dose to twice a week. half life of test is about 6 days, so you need to pin minimum once a week, better twice a week. so split your 1.5 ml dose to 75mgs every 3.5 days.

    I'm doing twice a week in the quads and went from 433 total/6.8 free to 870 total and 21 free in 6 weeks. My E2 is way high at 65.8 though.

    I posted a thread earlier with all my current 6 week blood work. It's as I stated above, 65.8 (7.6-42.6) . My initial LabCorp test with LowT didn't include E2.
    I'm thinking I need an AI?

    The most important thing is, how do you feel?

    Nipple sensitivity and maybe a bit more libido, but nipples always hard. That worries me. Is 65.8 too high? Is it prohibiting all this new found free test from maximum benefits?

    But not tired or bloated? When I'm sleepy as hell I know mine is getting high, my face and stomach bloat so much and I get hot flashes. On Saturdays when I would wake up from a nice slumber I would eat breakfast and as watching TV I would zonk out. Lol no way that should be happening. Went and got a blood test I was 184 total estrogen! I know it isn't sensitive but even for regularcestrogen it was high as heck! The ranges were like 18- 120 or something like that

    Maybe that is why I am so damn tired all the time. I just set up an appointment with another doctor to due my trt so I will make sure to get all this tested.
