Sorry I must be tired and misread
Start injecting in the belly fat. Easiest for me 
far away from belly button is good enough.
Do you notice a difference between IM and SubQ, or just ease of injecting?

I didnāt notice much difference personally. I prefer IM in the delts
Donāt overthink it. Just shoot and move on. Itās not a lifestyle, itās just a fucking shot.
I was on for four years, did IM, subq, all of it.
Just shoot it. Donāt aspirate, donāt sweat the AI, just shoot and move on with your life.
Not a big deal.

Daily do subq. Not many like going deep into muscle daily. Not a big difference for people on daily.
If we inject once weekly yes big difference. But by end of week levels are lower and your body likes consistency.
My advice is if you are starting out, do so on IM as it is more likely to be successful. And stay on IM for a while. SubQ may be better for you but itās a risk to start that way. What I mean by risk is there is nothing worse than starting this journey and wanting to give up because it didnāt work. IM has a better success rate overall than SubQ so play the odds.
Be ready for a little roller coaster ride. Enjoy the good feelings while they last - some of those feelings will be AMAZING. Then will yourself through the bad shit. You will feel for brief times worse than before you started your shots. It will seem like an eternity and a waste of time. After that, you will very likely feel better - and hopefully, eventually MUCH better - like a complete new person - but you have to give it time before changing anything (unless forced to). Like 3 months minimum. Bare minimum.
@rwr410 Thanks for the advice! What about changing my protocol in terms of frequency? I think Iām going to change to EOD from E3D once my needles come, doc only gave me enough for E3D so I ordered my own.
A change in frequency will cause a reset in your hormonal response. In another thread, I have a rather lengthy and some would say overly detailed diary about my own switch to from once to twice a week.
My own opinion is that twice a week works for a lot of people and keeps them quite even. And the goal should be to affect your life as little as possibleā¦ more shots is more of a pain, more sticking yourself, more having to think about it. So unless you have a huge reason to change to EOD right now I would hang on a bit longer and see what kind of response you really get with your current protocol.
If you go go EOD, you will be EOD for the ROYL (rest of your life) so the decision should not be taken lightly. This is no knock on EOD, just that on balance, E3D would be preferable for quality of life if it works for you.
Personally I donāt think you can fully judge a protocol until eight to nine weeks have passed. And at the beginning of TRT, all bets are off, since your body has all kinds of repairs and genetic modifications and software updates to deal with. TRT can take quite a while at the beginning to reveal all its benefits.
I waited a year to go to twice a week and the move was a fantastic decision. In some ways I wished Iād been on twice a week all along - would have saved me a decent amount of heartache and misery - but at the same time I think my patience was rewarded in that my body had an all new baseline by the time I switched. So I really got the full benefits of the switch.
Iām not saying wait a year, Iām saying make sure you give it enough time.
I say inject the least frequency that works for youā¦ if twice a week works the same for you, then no need to poke yourself every day
I did mon/wed/fri just because it was easy for me to remember. The only bad part was the 3 day gap was a bit much sometimesā¦ I probably should have done my Monday shot in the AM instead of PM so it would have evened it out a little more
I donāt remember what your bloodwork looked like but plenty of people do perfectly fine with 2-3x a week. Some do fine once a week even. Not everyone does, though
Iād just pick something and stick with it to start with and see how you do.
I had high normal SHBG, Low FT and Low TT.
Gotcha. Youād probably be fine w/2-3x a week dosing then. No AI, no HCG
Where you been?
Unfortunately, Funkytown.
Sorry to hear that. Nice to see you back.
