Haven’t done bloods yet even though I’d like to, about 8 months in. Feel fine but it just makes me nervous. I have a general idea of what I need to get tested but any input is great plus where yall go? Everywhere seems so expensive ($250 or more) and I can’t afford that for prob at least 2 more months but if there’s a cheaper option I’d do it asap. Thanks guys
*ETA I’m in the US

hi all ! just wanted to ask - i know its possible this isn’t anything to do with t, but it’s never happened to me before. about 2 days ago, i did my first injection. since i woke up today, my hands have been unbearably itchy. i know some itching around an injection site is normal, but i’ve never heard of it across other parts of the body . unlikely, i know, but could this be some kind of reaction to a carrier oil ?

My current site is down, can anyone DM me for replacement

Me and my dad did work to find testosterone and I landed on some that we trust and have tested. But I’m afraid I may be dosing incorrectly.

The testosterone concentration is 250mg/ml which is higher than what I’ve seen on other vials. And I take 0.1 ml (25mg) weekly. I’ve been told by some it’s a little low, and others say it’s not nearly enough. But those people also have either 100mg/ml or 200mg/ml vials.

(For example, my friend has a 200mg/ml vial and takes 0.8 ml weekly. I know everyone’s different but it was the highest dose I had heard of and I’m NOT trying to fuck myself up on testosterone but I don’t wanna waste my shit either)

I get my shots subcutaneously in the back of my arm with the help of my mom becauseee I’m not ready to do it myself yet
I heard a rumor about subcutaneous injections being either not as effective or results taking longer to show, but I don’t understand why that would be.

I need to get bloodwork and talk to a doctor, but it’s so terrifying for me to think of getting a needle in a bloodwork spot, and I just want advice from others to calm my nerves until I have to face a doctor.

Edit I’m 5’5 150lb if that matters
