I started that way, then went to every three days, then to every other day. There probably isn't a lot of difference in any of these.
31 gauge?

I can't remember the exact numbers without looking them up, but I had been on 150mg per week with weekly IM injections. My trough T level was around 530 my doctor boosted me to 200mg per week and my trough level went to something like 800. That seemed good so I stayed at that. I then switched to EOD sub q and my trough was something like 950 and peak 1260. I have switched back to 150 and I think my levels are something like trough 830 and peak 1050. I've switched back and forth from 150 to 200 a couple of times to see if I can tell a difference. I am now using 150. So frequent injections don't give a high spike but they also don't have as low a trough. Much more stable levels. Doing weekly injections there was a day that I would wake up with extreme anxiety. I don't have that on sq.

Unfortunately, everyone responds uniquely so you won't know until you try it.
That said, some people report that going the subQ route has a tendency to raise estrogen.
The flip side is that by going the subQ route, people have a tendency to inject more frequently thus, use less T per inject and as a result, keep estrogen increases at bay/people observe less flux and estrogen elevations.

I would guess that the more frequent the injection the lower the estrogen spike. However there's not a lot of difference between every other day and every 3 1/2 days. Also it may be true that SQ injections get into the bloodstream at a slower rate than IM injections therefore giving a lower estrogen spike.
I believe the reason most injections of any sort are given IM is because it gets into the bloodstream more quickly IM.

Now I use a slin pin
Sooooo much easier

I do my hrt every 3rd day in the quad with a 27g 1 inch. Bloodwork indicates its working well

I just switched to the 27 gauge 1 inch. I was pinning with a 22 gauge 1.5 inch. I pin my quads and glutes every 3.5 days. I personally can't tell that much of a difference between the 2. I never had a leakage problem or anything with the 22 gauge.
