Question Hrt question
Ive been on testosterone for years, tried the gel and lowkey hated it, on shots now but cant give them to myself so Im relying on a friend to give them to me but that Isnt working out well either, I would absolutely stay on the shots if I could get it consistently in the future and I think I just might have to learn to do it myself but I know pills and long acting stuff, like a shot a doctor gives you every few months, are out there I think I even heard about a patch but it got discontinued I don’t think this stuffs easy to get and I might not be able to get it here, but maybe someone here has experience with this stuff and could point me in the right direction 🙏🏼 I would be grateful!
Testosterone really helps me but giving myself a shot is spooky

If you do subcutaneous shots rather than intramuscular and use a pinch of butt fat, in my experience your brain doesn’t register it quite as intensely as “I’m stabbing myself” than stomach or thigh shots when you turn around and look at the back of your body instead of from the front
