    I do my testosterone shots subconsciously subcutaneously instead of intramuscularly. Had my thigh lock up for a solid week after I hit the wrong spot, so fuck that.

    Drawing it up takes fucking forever, though.

      The only test I’ve given patients was super thick. Is yours thin or are you putting that oil subq?

        I’m doing it subq. I split it into two doses and do it twice a week. A 27g needle doesn’t take a super long time, but 29g is more comfortable.

          At my work I see most people using a large needle to draw up and a small needle to inject. Don’t know if that’s doable in your situation.

            It is, but I ordered 27-29g insulin syringes to try out. Once I use those up I’ll order 27g needles and use up my 18g and 23g tips.
