Which type of insulin needle do I buy?

I have been injecting via subcutaneous injections. The insulin needles that I use are very small which takes a very long time to draw the testosterone. Can you tell me exactly what gauge and length of insulin needle I need to buy to streamline that process.

Trying to have a another baby

Since taking TRT for the last year and a half, I have not used HCG. Now that I'm trying to have another kid, I'm wondering if that was a bad idea. Should I go back on HCG to help with my sperm count?
