I am currently using testosterone gel, $90/mo with my insurance. It works. The insurance also offers T Cypionate-IM for $8/mo. Kind of a no-brainer, except I would like to inject Sub-Q. Is this as simple as getting the Cyp-IM Rx, then obtaining smaller needles and begin injecting Sub-Q? Or are there other considerations? My apologies if this has been asked before.
Yup. That’s it. Get small, many of use insulin needles, and start injecting in a bit of fat. Any fat. Most of us do twice weekly. Half dose each time. I currently have 30 guage 5/16 needles. Monday and Thursday. If ya miss a day, no worries, just do it the next day. Not an exact science with the long half life. It does take about two mins to draw up the oil. Injecting goes faster. Some people don’t like it being so slow. lol. You may get little bumps under the skin. That’s normal. It may sting or itch a little sometimes. Normal. Goes away after a little while. Mine usually only bugs me for about 10 mins if at all. Each person is different. On occasion you’ll get a small bruise. Again, normal and not an issue.

SQ is overrated, IM is better on average. You can still use insulin syringes to inject shallow IM.
Cypionate takes 6 weeks to reach steady blood levels, changes in dosages, injection frequencies resets the stable blood levels and another 6 weeks to steady states.
Therefore it could take months to find out what works for you, and you’re moving away from something you already found that produces good results.
You also lose out on the higher DHT levels of topicals.
Something to think about…

yep. I like 27 gauge 1/2". Iw ould not go shorter than 1/2"
The smaller the needle, the longer it takes to draw and inject the oil. it’s very thick.
Do you ever backfill? I find it makes things much quicker and easier. I know some have an issue with it not being maybe the most sterile method but I’ve never had problems with it.
I don’t. The black rubber part can dissolve after only a week or so, at least on some brands. If you do it, make sure to leave a bubble, and store with needle tip pointed down.
I did when I was doing daily, but 2x a week doesn’t leave me wanting to.

Use test with MCT oil. Much easier to draw
Anyone else doing daily sub-Q injections? I’m on a protocol of daily .15ml dose of Test-C. Seems to be working well, curious if anyone else has experience with this.
i did when i was fat. it was the only way i could do my 200mg without needing AI
Now that I’m leaner, I can do 200 IM 2x weekly without AI
Pretty neat
