I'm 13, and i really really wanna start testosterone, and thinking about waiting longer makes me wanna rope. Since this is the age where you normally get changes, could my lowered voice etc etc be seen as like maybe I'm just a girl who happened to get a deeper voice? I'm already pretty hairy, so that wont be a huge difference.

My sister is openly very very transphobic, and I think my dad is aswell, but not to that extent. My sister knows I'm trans but my dad doesn't. Could i get some tips for hiding it and stuff?

Hi, 13M, turning 14 in a few days. I've been on test for one month and almost 2 weeks but am unsure on how to get a blood test without my parent realizing.

Also, is 50-75mg a good dose? I'm 5'4 120lbs

I used to diy for 3 years 50mg/week with weekly injections. Ive gotten perscription since, t in my country is available either in 100mg vials that cant be divided into two doses or much more expensive gel or implants. Im basically on the same dose nos except i inject 100mg every two weeks, but around since ive switched ive gotten my period back for some reason (it never once happened during diying), my levels are fine and i guess my question is could it be because of changing frrquency of injections? I didnt mention it to my endo yet bc i only want to switch to gel if its absolutely necessary (as i said its expensive and im broke college student) and i dont trust her to not do that just to see what happens

I bought a new vial and I wanna do my weekly shots by myself (my friend helped me before) and i freeze up when i try to inject myself. So, i wanna switch to Subq

but the vial says for intramuscular use only. Can I still take it as subq or is it only IM?

I am not sure how needles stuff works and what the correct one to use is... How long should the needle be. 5/8" or 1". I don't want to accidentally get the wrong size. I saw 1ml 25g 5/8" for a good price but I wasn't sure if that was okay to use. I planned on doing subq so I think it's correct...

With dosing I am not sure where to start. I know concentration matters. The vial I bought was 250mg/ml.

Height and weight also matters I am 5'3" (162cm) and around 145 pounds(65.7kg)

This is all very confusing to me... I appreciate any help.

What’s better: Subq or IM? And what are the pros/cons of either?

How to know when it’s deep enough, like when to stop putting the needle in?

What needles and syringes to use?

Can you reuse needles if you put them in hot water?

Hey, about to temporarily move to a different state, how do I go about bringing my testosterone? Obviously, it’s not pharmaceutical so I can’t do it upfront. I do plan on bringing a checked bag; how should I go about storing it in my checked bag? Should I bring my syringes aswell or skip out on it? Should I just ask a friend to mail it to me after I leave?
Thanks as always.

im gonna be starting test e soon (250mg). im 16 years old, 5'2 and 104 lbs. im thinking of doing 50mg/week

testC I use a 27g, no way I cored it already?! its so small I keep losing it in the oil, brand new 10ml vial too. do I just keep using it unless it has bacteria or cloudiness and if my needle picks it up I'll throw it out and re-draw. I can't waste it

what would you do??

Is it possible to DIY topical T? I am an adult on my parents insurance, so they can see any claims made, therefore I need to diy things. Bottom dysphoria is the main symptom id like to alleviate hence the cream/gel and i’d also like more gradual changes. (yes i know gel and cream is different, ive seen people dry out gel, scrape the flakes and mix it with a lotion to make cream that’s better for topical genitalia use)

Helloo i've just done my 3rd weekly test shot and this is the 2nd time ive injected in my thigh. (i rotate sites, 1st time was thigh, 2nd time was stomach etc). ive noticed from both times ive injected in my thigh that the testosterone seems to be leaking out from where ive injected (not from the syringe). i do 0.4 mL subcutaneously any help would be appreciated

Hi! I ordered my T for the first time today, its supposed to arrive within the next week or so. I got Test Cyp 200mg/ml and was planning to start off with 50mg (0.25mL if i calculated correctly?) and wanted to ask if this was a good starting dose.

I dont want my family to notice my changes considering im not exactly sure on their stance for this and im afraid to even ask (i live in a pretty conservative country, i legally cant even get hrt as a minor) and i dont make a lot of money to afford this stuff so im considering later continuing with 50mg or 75mg per weekly injection. Im not able to get a doctors opinion on this stuff so id appreciate any answers :) Thanks

Hey so I am 17 soon 18 and realised how long of a waiting list there is to start t in my country. I have been thinking about going diy instead but I still live with my parents and tho they are not transphobic they do not want me to start hrt. Just wondering if there is anyone with experience in kinda hiding it from them idk?

hey, im just trying to start diy soon (16) but as i live at home with my parents i want to start at a lower dose to have less chance of getting "caught" per say. after you first take a dose of cypionate does anybody know how long the ester stays potent / safe to inject for? i dont mind if the potency drops after a while its mainly just a hygene thing. id probably be using one vial for about 35 - 40 weeks (starting aroung 75mg weekly, but i might js start at 50 for a month to be safe) if anyone can help tysm. i really want to start before college pmo 🫩

I’ve been in 3-4 pharmacy’s today in hopes of purchasing the needles I need to take my testosterone but no where sells them and I really don’t know where to look, online I’ve seen 30 gauge’s but I’d prefer 25-27 so it’s less discomforting to inject and faster to since I’m terrified of needles yet don’t want gel due to sensory issues.

Would appreciate any help of where to find them whether online or in person, I live in Manchester so anywhere around there would be great.

i am 15 in the uk, using diy hrt. i have concerns over my testosterone levels and was wondering if i could book a blood test to check my levels without the doctor informing my mum or authorities. im not sure if having male amounts of testosterone in my body as a biological female is something they are mandated to report.

i would rather safely use testosterone and know my levels than be guessing but i also am desperately in need of diy right now.
