pro tips for administering your own t shots

aight so i’ve been doing the whole self injection thing for nine/ten-ish months now, and as someone who’s always been, and still is, a little squeamish around needles, here are some things that help:

when you wipe down the injection site (I do my thighs, intramuscular injection) with an alcohol wipe, wait a little bit for the skin to dry before sticking the needle in. i’ve found this helps reduce the sting a bit.

listen to music. it helps make the whole process a little less nerve-wracking when you’re humming along to a song you like as you prep your syringe.

along the same lines as the last point, I like to use certain beats of a song as a ‘countdown’ almost, to hype myself up for the injection itself. instead of going “three-two-one” and then sticking the needle in, i’ll go “alright, i’ll put on cotard’s solution and stick it in when he starts screaming.” definitely makes the anticipation of the needle itself more bearable.

the anticipation is always worse than the actual injection. don’t let your own brain psyche you out of taking your t for fear of pain. i came into intramuscular injections thinking it’d be awful pain all the time, but half the time it’s barely more than a slight sting and usually doesn’t feel like anything after I put the bandaid on. i think i was more sore in the first couple weeks than i ever am now, though, so i may have just gotten used to it.

don’t inject too quickly, once you have the needle in your flesh. testosterone is pretty thick, so it’ll be a little slower coming out, and trying to push it too hard too fast will just make it uncomfortable or a little painful. 

do all the prepwork and keep everything together in front of you before you even uncap the first needle. make sure you have all the alcohol wipes, needles, vial, bandaids, and sharps box right next to you. you don’t want to pull your needle out of your thigh and then realize you don’t have a bandaid to put on the bleeding hole. that stuff gets everywhere.

alternate your injection sites. don’t do the exact same spot every single week (or however frequently you do your injections) or it will build up tougher tissue and make it harder for you to do injections. i just switch between left and right thighs every week.

once your t is in the syringe, keep your fingers/palms FAR AWAY from the plunger until the needle is inside you. you do not want to know how many times i accidentally squeezed some t out of my syringe because i was moving things around and absentmindedly squeezed on the plunger just a little too hard

check out Howard Brown! very good high quality videos on how to do subcutaneous and intramuscular injections + how to draw medicine out of the vial in the first place. highly recommend.

that’s all i can really think of atm. might update this later if i think of more things/figure something new and cool out for myself, though. hope it’s at least a little helpful for some of you funny internet people.

Things They Don't Tell You About Testosterone:

When they said horny I didn't think it would be this bad

Hair. Hair everywhere. You thought you already had hairy legs? Boom. More hair. Thicker hair. Darker hair.

Phantom Dick. I'm not joking, the longer you're on T, the more your brain will feel it. It's there, I swear to god.

Bottom growth hurts?????? I was under the impression it just happened but NO. Within the first 2 weeks that shit hurted

Your facial hair is gonna be patchy I'm sorry 😞 same thing happens with teenage boys. Welcome to your second puberty.

Voice cracks are NOT the same as normal voice cracks. It just feels like the absence of sound rather than a crack?? And, at least for me personally, it's worse when trying to sing than it is when speaking. But don't worry! You'll have plenty of cracking while speaking too!! 😀

Speaking of singing, there is gonna be a point in time where you just can't really sing comfortably because your voice is not low enough for songs but also cannot physically go higher. So you're just kind of stuck in a very limited range.

"You can expect some acne" I was expecting acne on my FACE, chief. Tell me why I found a pimple on my fucking calf????? What reason did it have to be there?????????? Yeah it shows up in odd places. But also! For some, testosterone can make acne better!! Me, personally, it hasn't been bad at all. Just confused about the shoulder pimples.

You're gonna suddenly like cars, trains, graffiti, sports, or woodwork. I don't make the rules. Choose your Pokémon. Mine was graffiti.

Please. Please please please please please apply deodorant more than once a day. You sweat more and have more body odor. I'm so serious. PLEASE re-apply during the day.

I'll add to this if I think of more

i treat my weekly hrt shot like the cure for some sort of supernatural affliction (vampirism, lycanthropy, alien virus, etc.) making the needle and eventual piercing of skin soooo much sexier

Transmascs who administer their own T-shots are so so sexy. Like damn??? You can handle a syringe?? What else do those hands do???? I'm fucking terrified of needles. So impressed when people are okay with them. That is so so sexy to me. I'm obsessed.

I got my T shot today and making a pretty boy stupid on my cock while having my fingers down his throat to hear those little muffled cries come out sounds pretty fucking good right now.

Undergrowth | 2023 | CSP Happy (late) Midsummer Solstice/Pride! ... I flatted this one way back at the start of the year, got intimidated by it, and stepped away. Then life got in the way. In the wake of successive professional and personal disappointments, I guess I felt like I had something to prove. I never trained as a painter. My work has started to take that direction, and I'm happy to chase it, even if it feels like I'm working at the edge of my ability the whole time. I advise students to love that feeling, and seek it out, but it's no less scary for having more experience ;) ... Here's to all you bottom growth kings (iykyk), and anyone else feeling like a long-cultivated garden project of ecstasy in these humid summer days.

This is my beard. It’s not the best one but it’s taken me 180 t shots to get here and I think it’s fucking cool.

Transition Diary Part #3

(Find the previous part here: https://www.tumblr.com/fl4mb0y4nt/740718631232651264/transition-diary-2?source=share)

It's now been over 3 months since I started testosterone! As of last month, I switched from T lotion to shots, and I wanna comment on this experience before coming to the physical changes.

Firstly, where I live, you don't self-inject, but a doctor will give you the shot every 2-3 months, which is a nice long time span where you don't have to think about taking your T.

Generally, the shots take like 2 minutes to inject, which is much longer than the usual quick vaccine and might feel unusual to some - I personally didn't mind this. Also, they go into your butt which is fun.

However, after the shot (not during), my booty HURT. The pain had me hold my left ass cheek in public. It only fully faded for me after like 3 days, but only the first 45-ish mins where that tough to bear. This still won't make me switch back to lotion/gel because the pros outweigh the cons for me.

Now to the physical changes.

Body hair: They are sprouting! Arms, legs, ass, pubic area, stomach, happy trail, even face! It's not that visible to most yet (I started with extremely light natural body hair), but I can see a major difference for myself. Love!

Voice: This was kinda bizarre (and amazing). I was just living my life as suddenly, from one minute to the next, my voice dropped big time. Also my laugh suddenly sounded so different! This gave my a huge hit of euphoria. Sadly, my old, more female sounding voice is still coming through most of the time, but I'm stoked that the change is still much more noticeable now (not just to me but also to others).

Fat redistribution: I don't know how much of this is related to T but I'm definitely more hungry now, and therefore, I am obviously gaining weight AND my previously very defined waist is getting more square. This doesn't only have it's benefits though - most of my pants don't fit me anymore and I desperately have to get new ones (which is sad because I really liked my pants, but good because, well ... self-explanatory).

Body odor: My (more 'manly') scent has gotten even stronger and I feel like my natural scent comes back quicker after showering. But I don't necessarily feel like I sweat easier or more than before.

Bottom growth: is still going on (tho not as uncomfortably sensitive anymore).

Period: I'm now taking a pill that stopped my period (and beneficially serves as birth control) as I couldn't wait any longer for T to do the trick.
