Oh my god thank you so much. I’ve been taking hrt (ftm) for TWO YEARS and it’s been so hard doing it and it turns out it’s because I’ve been injecting in the WRONG SPOT. you just saved me literally 45 minutes of anxiety and pain from trying to self inject. Genuinely thank you for being a lifesaver and educator 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@angus1577 does the angle change the pain as well? i was doing it in my muscle in my thigh for a year and just changed to my stomach because i hated how big the needles was, but i did it at a 90 degree angle because that’s what i was used to doing in my leg and it hurt pretty bad and burnt
@@user-ll9cb6iw8v the angle does change the pain, I was doing the injections straight in and it hurt so much, but later my doctor told me it should be at a 45° angle and now it only hurts sometimes, and even then not nearly as painful as it used to be
First, thank you very much for this. I had a bilateral torsion playing football in high school when I was 17. I have been giving myself IM thigh injections for 31 years. I too know the fear. I sit there every two weeks staring at my syringe for ten minutes, then slowly and painfully sliding the needle in, usually taking up to 30 seconds before I started injecting. I watched your video, spoke to my doctor for the go-ahead, and did my first subq-t last night. I started crying at finally have no pain, before or after an injection. Thank you again for sharing this miracle!!!!
Strange that more doctors don't tell you about sub-q. I brought it up to my endocrinologist and luckily he agreed to let me try it. I've been on sub-q a little over 6 months now and it's working great - Far better than the gel which I was doing for about a year. Thank you for helping get the word out about sub-q TRT
I'm starting T injections soon. Thank you for posting this! Seeing someone perform a self-injection so nonchalantly makes me feel so much more confident to start doing it myself.
Just stumbled across your channel, I was recently diagnosed with Klinefelter. I'm 40 years of age so it came as a shock. We've been trying to have children. Diagnosis came in the form of a blood test. I will have to do these injections later on this year for the first time. Thank you for the preview I can't wait lol
Hey dude. Thanks for this video. I'm terrified of needles, and just having you walk me through this process is helpful. I laugh every time you say there's no needle anxiety because I'm always shaking and sweating on the other side of the screen. Much like other commenters here, I'm a trans man, but it is nice to know that cis men out there also have overlapping situations going in. Brothers and all that. Thank you again and I'll be watching this video every two weeks lol
Injections with needle anxiety can be hard. If you don’t already, I highly recommend icing the injection site before you inject because it makes it less uncomfortable/painful and can help alleviate that anxiety some!
I inject E (I'm trans) with the little insulin needles and then at 90-degree angle instead of 45. I get lumps/deposits that can stay there quite a while, so I have to rotate my spots a lot and try to feel them, so I don't inject them while they're still dissipating. The spots get itchy for a few days, it's probably a reaction to something, but overall I do my injections very similarly to this video.
Transmasc here! I’ve also had the lumps and they do take time to dissipate! My doc told me people can be mildly allergic or develop an allergy to the type of oil the hormone is suspended in. I believe cypionate is a type of cottonseed oil?
You are a life saver! Thank you for posting this video.. your video helped me than anything out there. The 45° angle and how you gently injected the needle changed my fear. It seems like common sense, and so simple… But for someone who has never injected themselves all I could think of was that I had to jab or stab myself and that’s where all the fear was coming from. Thank you again for sharing.
Youd be surprised. You think of the TRT community/GearHead community it big ole swoll Brads. Well guess what i learned more about injecting T from trans sites then any other.
We are all the same audience!! Most people on here are probably a little bit different than each other but we all brothers and sisters at the end of the day 😉 And yes you right We all have one thing in common for sure is we need the magic juice 😉
Thanks for this video and the first part. It’s what I used to do my first injection this morning. Felt like nothing! Though i’ll admit, I at first though the plunger was stuck and would all of a sudden push down hard. It just does move that slow when injecting!
Think the one into belly fat is better than the one in the thigh area. into the muscle is sometimes painfull. I'll try my next injection this way into belly-fat. It might take longer to absorb but over a day or so it should be absorbed. Awesome.
@@LivingwithXXYI have Sustanone 250 in (1ml) ampoules. How to divide it to inject in microdoses? Where should I keep the rest of the dose? In the syringe?
Would highly recommend everyone watching this uses insulin pin needles instead of leur-lock. One piece, and much cheaper. Plus they're shorter which isn't an issue with subq injections.
Testosterone free 39, bioavailable 67, and my total MS 84. My results are always like this. Since I was young and active I had issues. I've seen so many doctors and they'll give testosterone for about 2 months then they'll take it away. I'm married with 3 boys. It effects my relationship with my wife, kids cuz I'm tired and work cuz I don't have no energy. I'm lost and tired of trying.
I'm sorry you haven't found good treatment with a doctor, if there's more around you, try someone else! An endocrinologist specialist may be best for you, they understand hormones and their importance more.
Please try horny goat extract or tongkat Ali extract.. should be available in herbal medicine shop's. They are natural formal of testosterone booster and these herbs was used in ancient times.. u will definetly feel that energy..
Thank you, Ryan, I was so scared to put the needle in at first but watching your video helped me get courage. It really was painless!!! i have been using gel for the past 5 years now and i cannot tell you how much of a hassle gel is compared to this.
Jus switched from gel to shots , wasn’t seeing changes on gel and I start shots Monday so scared , I do SubQ in the stomach as well . I’m so scared it’ll hurt .
@@blank3369 I'm using 25ga 5/8inch it hurts way less than when you draw blood. You might feel an initial sting but it doesn't hurt at all. You will feel it but not hurt.
@@rekt_gg thank you , idk what size I’m using . But I’m shitting bricks abt Monday lmao I’m so scared for it . I’m scared I’ll like back away or something. How bad does the sting hurt ? Ofc it won’t feel good but usually I never feel shots at all . When I got my Covid shot I didn’t feel it go in or anything. Hope I’m using that small of a needle for my shot
@@blank3369 they use 21ga to draw blood and 25ga is what most use for subQ, hurts much less. The larger the number of Guage, the smaller (and less painful) the needle is. I also had been very scared but to be honest i was scared for no reason it hurt way less than I thought it would. I guess the only way to quantify the feeling is if you lightly pinch your stomach with two fingers. Not bad at all
Was also born w Xxy 😮. Was diagnosed at 27 a bit late! Explained why I had a hard time in school. Been doing intramuscular injections since I was 24 years young ( did Gear prior to diagnosis). I recently started doing sub q injections and it’s been a game changer for me. I back load a 29g 1ml insulin pin w 1 ml of test cyp. Every morning I shoot 2 units which is about 40mg day for 6 days 1 day off. 240mgs per week. You can do multiple sub q injections w the same insulin pin. You shouldn’t use a reg syringe like he’s doing in the video! If you do it daily like this your hormones won’t fluctuate 👍
@@LoLDopsonR everyones different. Some people need 200mg+ a week to get normal levels, others need less. Some people also just prefer to have higher testosterone cause they feel better. Tons of people just buy their own T and do it themselves without a doctor.
I would never take advice from someone that tells you to reuse needles. Especially when insulin syringes are 27 cents. Don’t really need to backload them either unless you’re just trying to speed up draw speed.
Are you not doing IM injections any more? I’ve been doing IM for 3 months and I’ve been looking at getting an auto injector because of the needle anxiety. SubQ seems easier but there’s a lot of mixed info on why one is better than the other for levels, peaks, etc.
Ryan, thanks for this video. It really helped me. I just did my first shot of testosterone. I'm taking it because I have low T levels. I was nervous as heck but it didn't hurt at all. My only complaint is testosterone is very thick so you really have to push the plunger down hard. Thanks again!
I recommend holding your vial of T in your hands to warm it before you inject, this can help a bit. And if your injections are painful you can ice the area before you inject so it’s not as uncomfortable. Hope these help ^_^
@@LivingwithXXY I’m not sure of the needle size. I get my syringes and medication in the mail. I haven’t received it yet. Since I just started my doctor gave me a couple preloads doses until my meds arrive. I will try the 25 gauge if I continue to have that problem. Thanks.
Test can be administered with a 27g, just takes a little longer Didn’t know test can be done sub-q, always did IM. I’m on TRT for a few years now Glute injections with 27g is not that bad
Wish I had diagnosed my self in my 20s my quality of life would have been much better .. I also use 500 IU of HCG 3x. A week.. with my 200 mg of test weekly.. keeps balls fuller and also helps intra testicular test production
This is such a good guide. I'm using Test-C for... extracurricular activity, and I just can't do IM. It's too much anxiety 😫 but this, this makes sense. Do you have to worry about aspirating? What about hitting a vein or capillary?
Don’t need to worry about this with subq injections because you aren’t injecting into the bloodstream, just injecting into the fat and top layer of skin.
@giantorres5457 thank you! Found this out shortly after posting my question lol. I actually do IM via delt now. 25G 5/8" is heavenly. Slides right in, no pip, not even 1 drop of the red stuff.
You said that “ The nice thing is I don’t even feel the needle going in or out.” I did the same thing you did. Grabbed the fat, went in at a 45° angle and it hurt like a SOB!! I’m going to stick to injecting myself in the upper leg or buttocks. Oh and I just took a Percocet 2 hours ago and I felt this pain. The only thing is there was a very tiny blood coming out of any after I swiped it. That part sure, great!! But this burns. Oh and I have more fat than you do. 9 believe I’m supposed to put testosterone in a muscle not where I have most of my fat stored at. I don’t know how you like this method because I watched you do it 3 times just to make sure I don’t mess up.
I find it very hard to get it into the needle and then out into my body...I know it can crystallize if cold so you should shake and warm it...but it seems to always be hard to get out and inject into me. Any thoughts?
How did you find out? What used to be your levels of testosterone before ? Is it possible to have Klinefelter syndrome if your testosterone is within normal ranges (600ng/dl)?
Hi, im getting lumps when using this technique , im usin oil based cypionate and every shot site get very painful after 1 day or 2 swollen lump redness and much pain
Talk to your doctor. You may want to try a different form of T in case you're sensitive to the carrier oil. It's also possible but rare to be allergic to steel in the needle. I use test cyp and 29g insulin needles with no lumps and very minor soreness.
I never knew I can actually take testosterone in the belly. Though only water base like hcg or hgh. Came Accross this video. I’m new at taking test. I’m shocked. The doctor never mentioned. He directed me to take in the shoulder only!!
Hi m8 out of interest how much and how often are you taking only just found your video so will have a look back see what else you have on great video as inhave low test im based in the uk and we have zero help from docs iver here to treat it. I paid for the test privately and they came back really low a year later had a doc test it and they said it was fine but i kmow its not with how i feel
Hii! I started T about 5 months ago and I’ve been doing my shot in my stomach fat, I’ve had stomach aches and pains since I’ve been doing this. Do you get the same thing or could it be from something else? I just tried to inject into my thigh and it seems to help. Every time I inject into my thigh I draw so much blood and the spot hurts for a few days after, that’s why I stick to my stomach. Please help😭
I alternate my thigh every week. If blood is coming out you went through a vein and it happens. Try to find 2 areas on your thigh that you get an injection with out bleeding. If you have hair on your leg shave the areas and keep shaved so you know the best location to inject. I only inject Gonadorelin Acetate subcutaneous. Testosterone always intramuscularly
Also if you keep having so many problems with quad you can try switching to ventro glute injections. One of the safest places to do IM injections. I rotate. Left glute. Left quad. Right quad. Right glute. Every four days.
What this guy is not showing you is the lump you get the next day along with the pain which only get worse by the day. Always consult your doctor first
Is it better same or worse to inject into belly fat vs. the quad? I understand quad injections can be painful. Is that the only reason for injecting into belly fat or are there additional advantages?
Any idea why I always have a lump for up to 1 month from belly, glute, love handles and it becomes itchy on day 3????? I changed to Grapeseed oil and same thing
@@LivingwithXXY I've tried many different spots and depths. And still the same. Almost like inflammation. I've gone back to IM again with smaller needle. It works ok. Thank you for responding 😊
Did you split the dose or just go sub Q once a week. How are your E2 levels hemogrit and RBC. Are you on an AI I am not a fan of crashing my E. Been doing it for 10 yrs my self. Ass is getting sore you know what I mean, moved to 1/2 inch insulin needles and split shots twice a week in the delts. Actually felt worse after a few months went back to the ass once a week and feel better again. But E2 and hemocrit RBC will all rise again. IDK just trying to find that holy grail of sweet spots.
Nope just subQ once a week, my E2 levels have always been normal and my RBC was higher with IM shots and has seemed to lower with SUBQ, but no doctor can figure it out so ive had to take it into my own hands.

That's if u diet and workout. Test don't just make you lean...
@@LivingwithXXY awww im sorry. how did you find out about that tho? did u accidentally found out about it or you went to get lab test on purpose?
Hi, im getting lumps when using this technique , im usin oil based cypionate and every shot site get very painful after 1 day or 2 swollen lump redness and much pain
Talk to your doctor. You may want to try a different form of T in case you're sensitive to the carrier oil. It's also possible but rare to be allergic to steel in the needle. I use test cyp and 29g insulin needles with no lumps and very minor soreness.
Thank you for this!!!! ❤
You're so welcome!
So sub q test injections are just as good as intramuscular?
Belly injections are okay? I thought you had to get it in the muscle?
There's new evidence that lower dose injections administered twice a week subcut works better than im.
I never knew I can actually take testosterone in the belly. Though only water base like hcg or hgh. Came Accross this video. I’m new at taking test. I’m shocked. The doctor never mentioned. He directed me to take in the shoulder only!!
Yeah, most doctors only think it can be given intramuscular.
@@LivingwithXXY I tried doing it. It bubbled up under the skin! Not sure how to do it the right way. Any videos on here
What size needle are you using? 22?
Do you get a lump after injection? Cuz I do
My doctor said in thigh but I would like to try belly. What size needle do you us exactly?
thank you
You're welcome
What size needle? Looks long for SubQ
25g 5/8
what is the extra (X) male ? or female?
I am a male born with XXY X is female and Y is male.
What size of needle for this?
A very small 5/8" needle is commonly used. I use an insulin syringe/needle.
I use a 5/8" 25g.
Done my first and it stung like crazy , big red mark for days...maybe I didn't like the spot dry first😮😮😮😮
Sorry to hear that
Hi m8 out of interest how much and how often are you taking only just found your video so will have a look back see what else you have on great video as inhave low test im based in the uk and we have zero help from docs iver here to treat it. I paid for the test privately and they came back really low a year later had a doc test it and they said it was fine but i kmow its not with how i feel
Say what guage was that
Your stomach doesn’t swell?
Nope.
Is it normal to have a bump/lump for a few days after in the injection site under the skin?
I do usually. No idea if its nromal or not.
Hii! I started T about 5 months ago and I’ve been doing my shot in my stomach fat, I’ve had stomach aches and pains since I’ve been doing this. Do you get the same thing or could it be from something else? I just tried to inject into my thigh and it seems to help. Every time I inject into my thigh I draw so much blood and the spot hurts for a few days after, that’s why I stick to my stomach. Please help😭
I alternate my thigh every week. If blood is coming out you went through a vein and it happens. Try to find 2 areas on your thigh that you get an injection with out bleeding. If you have hair on your leg shave the areas and keep shaved so you know the best location to inject. I only inject Gonadorelin Acetate subcutaneous. Testosterone always intramuscularly
@@robotviewer1396 awesome thanks so much this is super helpful!
Also if you keep having so many problems with quad you can try switching to ventro glute injections. One of the safest places to do IM injections. I rotate. Left glute. Left quad. Right quad. Right glute. Every four days.
Deltoid is easier
What size needle are you using?
25g 5/8 inch
What this guy is not showing you is the lump you get the next day along with the pain which only get worse by the day. Always consult your doctor first
I dont get lumps or pain. If you are you are doing your injection in the same place too often.
@LivingwithXXY nope.
bro after sub q shot using insulin pins, how r the blood levels with it, is it the same as full sized bigger needle
So it is safe to inject into the belly fat
Even though everything recommends thigh or but muscle?
Is it better same or worse to inject into belly fat vs. the quad? I understand quad injections can be painful. Is that the only reason for injecting into belly fat or are there additional advantages?
I prefer the belly. Quad sucks!
I started trying out Subcutaneously but its leaving huge knots in my fat on my stomach, some are sensitive to touch.
Ask your doctor!
I’m just here so I can start getting big asf
How many sub q injections do you need to do a week?
I only do shots once a week.
@@LivingwithXXY0.5cc weekly?
Any idea why I always have a lump for up to 1 month from belly, glute, love handles and it becomes itchy on day 3????? I changed to Grapeseed oil and same thing
Ask your doctor.
Hello, first at all thank you for this video👍🏻 i did it like that for 1 month but I dont feel any changes, is it normal? I take 200mg per week
We are not doctors.
U have to do it every day in belly.
What testosterone are you taking
What is the name of the TRT that you are taking it everyday?
Once a week. Just Depot T
@@LivingwithXXY Why not take Nebideo every 13 week's? coudn't imagian taking a shot ever week
We dont have that in the states.
is it same preparation of im or some different composition ? 3 weekly im vs weekly subcut how to decide ??
Same liquid testosterone. You just choose how to inject but there’s different considerations
I’m noticing a bump where I inject like the liquid is just under the skin. Is this normal?
Im not sure but after every injection i massage the spot forcefully, to spread the oil in belly fat
What if your aren't fat
Which injection site is your fav (easiest)?
SubQ
What’s the best brand name for TRT injection?????
whats ur dose a week, im on 50mg every 3 days
What’s your dosage
Two Don Fryes every other week
Can you do a Sub shot of test in the but.
No idea, ask a doctor. :)
Thanks, I'm a diabetic and the size of this needle was intimidating. I wasn't sure where to stick it. LoL😅
You are so welcome!
I get sore lumps in the fat after doing subq inj with enanthate. Anyone else?
Ive had a few but they went away, are you going deep enough into the fat?
@@LivingwithXXY I've tried many different spots and depths. And still the same. Almost like inflammation. I've gone back to IM again with smaller needle. It works ok. Thank you for responding 😊
I’m getting the same small lumps. How long did yours take to go away
@@jonasmarkuslarsson what's the bare minimum cc syringe for test e 250mg recommended?
How often do you inject sub q a week
Once
Thanks the needle they gave me really freaked me out lol
You’re welcome 😊
Did you split the dose or just go sub Q once a week. How are your E2 levels hemogrit and RBC. Are you on an AI I am not a fan of crashing my E. Been doing it for 10 yrs my self. Ass is getting sore you know what I mean, moved to 1/2 inch insulin needles and split shots twice a week in the delts. Actually felt worse after a few months went back to the ass once a week and feel better again. But E2 and hemocrit RBC will all rise again. IDK just trying to find that holy grail of sweet spots.
Nope just subQ once a week, my E2 levels have always been normal and my RBC was higher with IM shots and has seemed to lower with SUBQ, but no doctor can figure it out so ive had to take it into my own hands.
what brand can i use as SC inj? in my country only available testo labelled for IM Only. can i use that as SC?
Depends on the ester. Test cypionate can be done subq. Others may burn more when injecting.
Why Pinch
You’re lucky you were young when you were diagnosed
Everyone who gets diagnosed is "lucky". Only 25% of those with XXY will ever be diagnosed.
Is it just my eyes? Are you using a 21gauge syringe?
What?
@@LivingwithXXY THE NEEDLE GAUGE
@@karlgredona1651 1in 21g draw, 5/8in 25g inject. No need to yell
Thanks this helped me do a sub cut shot of estrogen
I’m getting lumps every time. Not red but I can feel them
I get them too every once and awhile, Not sure why but mine go away.
@@LivingwithXXY how long does it take for them to go away
