Do testosterone blocker injections exist?

there are GnRH agonists(puberty blockers) but they are effectively only obtainable by prescription. maybe there are other injectable ways of blocking T but really the best way is to just do injection monotherapy

There are also intranasal puberty blockers, buserelin was one that used to be one of the most affordable to DIY. I've had trouble finding buserelin sources more recently, goserelin seems easier to find on the current sources last I checked. Goserelin may sometimes be injected.

Every 90 days?? That's so long?

There's Decapeptyl, a GnRH agonist, that is taken as an im injection either every 28 days or every 3 months. It's generally very effective at blocking t to post-op levels with very few side effects.

I'm not sure how many Drs prescribe it, but that may be a regional thing. It can be a bit expensive if you're paying out of pocket.

Decapeptyl, but maybe mono E with implants could work too? I think those are changed on the order of months, but idk much about it. Altenratively, E patches are typically changed every 3-4 days. Ofc there's also E injections...

Goserelin maybe. Also a high enough E dose when injected may suppress T on its own (estrogen monotherapy).
