After the TRT Honeymoon

I use a 29 with grapeseed enanthate from Empower. Takes me one minute total to clean the vial and draw, but that's over filling just a bit past 10iu so I can click the air out and then pin my 20mg daily shot. Dudes would rather harpoon themselves and damage their muscle tissue rather than wait seconds to draw through a smaller needle- and we wonder why women live longer.
Thinking about learning how to do this. I'm still very new. Twice a week with my size needle sucks pretty bad.

I mean, it's basically the same thing, you're just using a smaller needle so it takes a bit longer to draw the oil into the needle. And you can inject damn near anywhere with a needle that size, but I'm almost exclusive to my thighs. Area around the stomach is ok too, but I don't use that often as I don't like the lump feeling. It's not a big deal, just not my preference. I feel literally nothing the majority of the time going into my thigh so I just stick to it.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
