Which is better, Sub Q or IM for TRT?
My doc is letting me pin from home, but is almost demanding that I do IM....
Sub Q is easier for me...

the efficacy of testosterone injections during the trials was determined in the beginning by injecting IM. Not SubQ. This is one reason why health care professionals go the IM route. There isn't much data out there for SubQ, or not nearly as much as IM.

And because there is solid data out there for the IM protocol, this is what the industry goes with.

You won't read too much out there on the web that supports SubQ over IM.

Try sub-Q and if it works, stick to it. Your Dr will never know if you inject sub-Q vs IM.

I personally use the sub-Q method and love it. Quick and painless.

I just switched yesterday to Sub-Q and I have bloodwork scheduled in a few weeks. If my levels are still good I will def. without question stick with Sub-q. SOOOO much easier and more convenient.

Sub Q 50mg 2x a week brought my levels up brought my Total T up nearly 300 points and Free T up 13. Numbers don't mean a whole lot because it will not do exact same for you but Sub Q is definitely a lot less discomfort. No scar tissue to ever worry about and it is about the same as giving a HCG injection.

Conclusion IMO, if you can get the results using Sub Q, there is no logical reason to choose IM over it.
