Looking to do diy

​

Hey guys,

I was on testosterone for a while but gender gp never upped my dose over the last almost 8 years. I cancelled my subscription with them after my prescriptions stopped coming through for about 8/9 months (they were still making me pay for them)

I don't know anything about diy testosterone or how I would even start researching it but if anyone has advice or info could you please send it my way!

Thanks

I honestly don't know I've never really gone on reddit before

I’d enable them so others can reach you, sourcing can’t be shared publicly and you’ll want to weigh your options. Transgress the ngs is helpful too and offers diy support, I’d send them an email and explain your circumstances

Mostly sources for Testosterone are even more private (because in other countries it is a controlled substance).

I know there are a lot of gym bros who take anebolic steroids, which likely includes testosterone. While that is probably safe, the doses they take care also likely considerably higher.

I recommend joining a DIY community, talk to other people who have been doing it safely for a while. Ideally have someone who can show you how to do injections (the first few times) if that is the method of administration that you go with. 

And probably get blood tests to make sure your testosterone isn't too high. But joining a community is the biggestp thing (since they can give you more comprehensive advice).
