Re: Subcutaneous Vs. IM injections of testosterone

[Guest guest]

There is a lot of thinking about doing shots subQ and IM but it's about what

kind of shot your doing. I don't like subQ for my Testosterone and HCG shots.

The shot of T stings for hrs. after now this is just me I know a lot of men

doing shots of T subQ Dr. Shippen is one. I don't do my HCG subQ because I

don't feel it working for 12 hrs. If I do my HCG shots IM I feel it in 30

min's. I started doing HGH shots and use a Pen to do them these I do subQ.

I use a small 27g 1ml x 1/2 " lg. needle to do my T and HCG shots shooting into

my thigh. Doing the T shot the oil comes out slow so I just pull the plunger

all the way down and just hold it until I get my dose. There is not pain doing

this IM shot with this size needle.
