trans resources
i'm a transguy so this will skew heavily in that direction. i'm not a medical professional. i'm just trying to aggregate information i find online. as you probably know by now, medical professionals can be disappointing when it comes to trans health. this is my effort to get a better handle on my health and my body.
Testosterone Injections
- How to inject: [link coming]
- What size needle do I need? — You can use the same needle to draw and to inject, but since testosterone cypionate is kinda thick, it can take a bit for the goo to draw up into the syringe. It can be done, I'm told. Alternatively, you can use a thicker needle to draw and a thinner needle to inject. 25-30G (gauge) seems to be the common size range. Mine are 5/8 inch long.
- Where can I buy needles? — Mine were prescribed (two at a time). You can buy them on Amazon (yuck) or see if they are available at your local pharmacy. On Amazon, you can get 100 needles for ~$10.
