What do you think about rotating subQ and IM?
AlphaMD's Answer
I personally do it often, mainly because I want to give my muscles a break. There is no reason you can’t do it.
We wouldn't think it weird, nor would we think it very beneficial. 90% of the time it's totally up to what the person prefers (imo). 10% of the time we might have someone do lower dose Subq to help if they have high transference to Estrogen & not want to add AIs.
Both IM & Subq have their own benefits, but typically if you're using one of those routes for a specific reason then you may as well use it all the time to have more of the benefit that you're looking for.
