I'm thinking of trying subq

[dfwo]

My current schedule;

Tue - 250 iu HCG
Wed - 250 iu HCG
Thu - 160 mg Test Cyp
Fri - .5 mg Arimidex

But I'd like to try subq and wondering what might be a good starting dosage and schedule

Thanks

I've only done subq and love it.

im assuming this is dr prescribed....

do this.

TUE (PM): hcg250IU, 80 mg TEST, arimidex 0.25mg
WED: nothing
THUR: Nothing
Friday :Nothing
SAT (AM): hcg250IU, 80mg TEST, arimidex 0.25mg
SUN:Nothing
MON: nothing

sub Q is fine- keep up the bloods to see how the sub q effects your aromatisation, if at all..

this is my schedule and works well for me - i dont take hcg though.

I can't tell you anything about arimidex because I have always used 12.5mg extemane. My protocol is Sunday AM 70mg test CYP subq, Monday 250iu HCG, Tuesday 250iu HCG, Wed evening 70mg test CYP subq, and like I said 12.5 extemane daily. I have labs done on Wednesday mornings when I do labs, so my test should be at it's lowest level. I have found at 70mg every 3.5 my total test runs close to 750 (300-1100 range) at 80 mg every 3.5 days it runs close to 1000 to 1100. I have also found that if you have any belly fat the blood flow is not as good to that area and absorption is different. I do my thighs and butt.

I looked into subq a few years ago when I was messing around with self-administered TRT and am I correct in remembering that you should lower the dose when switching from IM to subq?

Dr prescribed, but I'm kind of on my own as far as tweaking my program. He told me to inject once every two weeks and that was it.

I do like the idea of injecting the hcg and test at the same time and being done with it.

Also, I'm due to have BW done in about a month, so I'm thinking of trying the subq now to see how it goes

Dr John Crisler said about HCG timing. This is a cut and paste from one of his articles.
"In my previous report I recommended 250IU of HCG twice per week for all TRT patients, taken the day of, along with the day before, the weekly test cyp injection. After looking at countless lab printouts, listening to subjective reports from patients, and learning more about HCG, I am now shifting that regimen forward one day. In other words, my test cyp TRT patients now take their HCG at 250IU two days before, as well as the day immediately previous to, their IM shot. All administer their HCG subcutaneously, and dosage may be adjusted as necessary (I have yet to see more than 350IU per dose required)."

The reason he recommends that is to bump up your T levels late in the week when your levels are dropping on a once per week protocol. No need to do it if implementing a twice per week regimen. Just inject it twice per week, with T, without, doesn't matter.
