SUBQ Testosterone Injections

Greetings all,

Moerse frustrated for keep on getting abscesses on test injections, regardless of technique, gear and having a nurse inject me, I stumbled upon some info that explains how much easier it is and with a lot less risk, when you inject testosterone into your stomach fat i.e. subcutaneous injection, as apposed to IM (intramuscular) injections.

Got some Super Test from a long standing trusted brand using proper sterile technique and having a sister inject, 1 ML into my buttock, I ended up with another golf ball in my ass, huge swelling, hard at the injection site, spreading toward lower back and so much pain that a tramacet and stillpain painkiller could not suppress. Warm showers, warm water pad, Norflex, Panamore, ibprofen, tramacet, stillpain, and flucloxaccilin antibiotics seems to have taken things under control, a week and a half later with some discomfort still prevalent.

Before I get into the actual topic description, I would like to share that from what I understand, the reason for the above might be related to the multi-ester combination of the gear, in that the shorter esters, usually more painful, also tend to crystallize more if not absorbed by the body. Having not done Test E, or Test Cyp. alone in the past, I cannot tell if this will also be the case for those single long acting esters.

So after almost ending up in hospital with another abscess in my buttock, decided to try SUBQ injections, injecting the Super Test into the stomach fat, typically where you would inject a peptide. Obviously it is not that easy to draw up the gear using a SLIN pin, so I filled it up from the back with a normal syringe. This created a lot of air bubbles that I was unable to get surfaced and pushed out, wish resulted in multiple SUBQ injections (x4 for 0.5ml).

My first attempt was this morning and so far so good. A lot less intimidating using a SLIN pin compared to a pitchfork to get Test into your body and all the other drama that goes with it.

Studies on the web have shown that injecting Test into the fat, absorbs just as good as injecting Test into the muscle, "if not better".

Will keep everyone posted, with my next treatment on Fri. 09 Nov. 2018.

Is anyone reading this tried Test SUBQ injections? How did this, or is it working for you.

Feel free to leave comments or share your experience.

Your stomack will even be worse just wait a couple of days, I had the same problems with blends and only use test cyp now. Also try different size needles my sweet spot is 25 gauge at one inch long and I heat the oil up to just above 30 degrees Celsius.

I've been using subQ trt for a long time so can give some informed advice.

1. Don't go more than 0.5ml of anything per injection.
2. Don't use any gear that's got a concentration of over 250mg/ml
3. Use a 26 gauge 1/2 inch pin, heat up the oil to Luke warm, and take your time injecting - when you force a small gauge pin you can damage tissue from the concentrated spray.
4. Rotate injection sites, within 2" of the belly button, the love handles and the upper glutes. You can even do shoulder or quad injections with the 26,but those are shallow IM.

I've tried the HD labs supertest before, that's 500mg/ml - and got an immediate abscess (on 0.25ml) so that got dumped

+1 Solid info

@Xpornstar, thanks for the info. @Oupa, thanks for confirming.

So I tried the above and even though after heating up and doing no more than 0.25 per pin, the multi ester still causes swelling and rash.

I stopped and moved over to Test Cyp with 0.5 per SUBQ and no issues.

Thanks for the replies.

Glad you got sorted, was going to recommend trying some test cyp or suggesting you switch brands, your body could have even disliked the type of oil used (I believe test cyp is often cotton seed or grape seed oil and that the types of oil can change between brands or substance).

Just want to add a bit to this thread for anyone else who might come across it later.

I have been doing what I think / feel is SubQ test shots for around 2 years now. I dislike injecting into my stomach, so I do not. I use a 26g 1/2 inch needle to pin, and pin in my ass - there is quite a thick layer of fat there and I feel it still ends up in the fat as opposed to the muscle. Drawing test with a slin pin is a very lengthy process as it takes forever to draw.
Using a normal syringe and larger needle to draw, then switching it out for a 26g 1/2" needle is a lot more convenient and helps keep your oil cleaner (more sterile / sanitary) compared to opening up the back of a slin pin and pouring it in there. I would not recommend that.

I have not had any issues from doing my shots this way and much prefer it to the IM shots I use to do previously.
I do my blast doses the same way, sure I end up with more of a bump straight afterwards as the oil sits closer to the surface but it is not painful and dissipates in a few days.
I have been pinning 1.5ml twice a week recently without issues.

Hallo PsyCLown,

Thanks for your reply and info!

I was a bit confused however with you saying you do SUBQ injections in your ass using a 26g needle? I’m sure you’re doing IM shots man.

Anyway, now that I’ve switched to the Test Cyp, I find it’s a lot easier to draw up in the SLIN pin compared to the high mg gear. Hugely more convenient doing SubQ shots too.

Test Cyp
RAD 140
MK 677
and some Nootropics (‘cause the MK 677 is killing me with lethargy.)

Interesting world, these Nootropics!

All the best!

Have experimented with subq injections around the stomach area with depo testosterone 100mg/ml prescription from the pharmacy. Used the standard 1ml slin syringes and all went well. Had no issues post injection. I did however only do 0.5ml but did it every second day on different spots keeping the volume of substance low. I saw a video on Youtube long ago about a TRT doc recommending subq as well. So is a valid method but not something that is easy to draw up lol and push threw a higher guage needle that is for sure.

Have you tried using a 26g 5/8inche doing 0.5 - 1ml into the medial deltoid? I personally do all my injections this way 1.5ml at a time. Takes longer to inject but nice and slow into the muscle has never been a bad idea. No pain, no issues - Well in my case that is.

The gauge is just the thickness of the needle - the circumference, the depth is what would determine whether it ends up in the fat (subq) or muscle. Half an inch is 12.7mm and the slin pins from Dischem come in 29G (12.7mm) and 30g/31g (8mm). So the same as the larger slin pins really.

How many mm of fat is in my ass before muscle is reached is what would determine the type of shot I am doing - IM or SubQ. One could always ensure the needle only goes half way in or similar if need be.

Much easier to draw the test through a 26g needle than 29g or smaller.
Glad it is working well for you though.
