Hey GUys,
Ive been on Omnitrope for about 2 years and after reading many of the threads a long while back I decided for me I would split my weekly dose into M/W/F and do it Im since Omnitrope came with 1/2" pen needles I could get in my quad. My insurance switched me to Norditropin, and the needles are TINY and no way I can do IM with them.
I am not an expert on GH by any means, but in my research I am doing, sub-q is the least optimal way of injections. It releases the hormone so slowly into your system that its effects are almost completely unnoticable. If it were me I would just get some 1/2" pins tand continue IM instead.
Two quotes from BBB, which seems to be the most knowledgable person on GH I have found on this site:
[quote]If you want a prolonged release, totally unlike the bodies’ own secretion, then inject subQ.
If you want to mimic the style of release of the body/pituitary, then you need direct, immediate access to the circulation, i.e. intravenous.
For a compromise between the two, intramuscular is the chosen method.
So for ‘fatloss’ then SubQ. For Meso changes, well technically, it should be i.v. but since there are many foolish people who apparently cannot follow simple instructions, I won’t be recommending i.v. injections any time soon.

FYI: According to a friend of mine who is a bright boy and has spent considerable effort and time researching GH (by which I mean proper research, not just reading old BBing Vs GH info), when you inject subQ, 50% goes into the blood, and 50% goes into the lymphatic system. Of the 50% in the lymph, 95% eventually makes it into the blood.
So subQ release is increadibly prolonged release, akin to a continuous i.v. infusion, which is essentially pointless for anything other than low dose ‘fatloss’ GH cycles.
In other words, dear reader, if you seek any sort of muscular/‘mesomorphic’/hyperplasic/permanent effects from your GH, then you are FAR better off injecting it intramuscularly.

Yea BBB was the entire reason I switched to IM from SubQ.
