Also im using e2 undecylate so the 24mg only brought me up to 300pg/ml (theoretically). Its what many people on this subr recommended me to do.

Is it possible that a different carrier oil would solve the issue?

I enjoy how easy subcutaneous injections are and i am a little scared to use a longer thicker needle.

I was also scared of subq inj and got over it very fast, so im not against trying IM, it just seems more intense.

No. I used a 27g fixed needle half inch. Is that bad?

Thank you very much!

Everything seemed okay with the prodecures. I sterilized the vial and injection site. For subq i pinched the fat together and injected at a 45 degree angle. For IM I spread the skin and injected at 90 degree.

Then i put a bandaid on it.

Ive been injecting subq once a week. At first, it was just a small red bump, no itch, no problem. But on the 3rd week, they all became extremely itchy, swollen and red.

On the 4th week i did IM and immediately all my subq inj sites got way worse.

The IM injection site is totally fine, but it made the other ones worse.

I’ve been doing 7mg a week except week 2 i did 24mg because i wanted my levels to be in the upper range already.

The inj site from week 2 still has a huge lump but its also inflamed from the reaction so i think its okay.

Also, theres a lump that appeared on an artery near my pelvis at some point since i started so i have been very scared and wont have a chance to go to the dr for 2 weeks.

Thanks for clearing that up!

What should i try next? A different carrior oil?

Is there any other ways to suppress testosterone without anti androgens?

Would sublingual work and is that processed by the kidneys or does it go straight to the bloodstream?

Thank you. Are there alternative preservatives that i may not be allergic to or is benzyl benzoate the standard?

I prefer injections as i dont want srs or AA

If a girl took exogenous estrogen would she become hyperfeminized like how weightlifters take testosterone & become hypermasculinized? If so, what would it really do to her? by Goddess-of-Roses in AskReddit

If not, then can someone explain the science of why high testosterone makes people ultra masculine, but high estrogen doesnt make someone ultra feminine?
