SubQ - Testostrone compounded with Anastrozole

I did SubQ this week, zero pain. I used a 30G 1/2", syring only filled up 10IU at a time with full pull all the way down. Takes a little more time to get it in there, 4-5 full plunges. Really hope SubQ works out so I can avoid the punched in the leg/butt feeling 1-3 days after!

SubQ - Testostrone compounded with Anastrozole

I wanted to post and ask if anyone is doing Testosterone compounded with Anastrozole subcutaneously? I've read some of Dr. John Crisler's posts that make me want to give it a try but the fact that it is compounded with Anastrozole led me to this post to see if I could get more info from the...
