    Thanks for the warm welcome and yeah my original Dr. Was a urologist and not a very good one he had no clue what he was doing if I had any questions he would just say whatever you read on the internet is prolly right, I'm sure you can see how confusing that is. Thank you for showing me the graph it makes understanding so much easier when you can see it. I'm scheduled for another blood draw in 3 weeks it covers a lot but I'll look in to and see what all it tests for.

    Wow. Just wow.

    Re purchasing syringes. You can get them on line most anywhere. Just google it. Determine what gauge and length you want. Injecting SQ with an insulin syringe (into fat pads) is fine and proven by studies. Injecting into muscle requires a bit more length depending on the volume injected. The minimum I like to use for IM injections is 1/2 inch. With this length, depending on lean you are the injection may be all IM or part IM and SQ. It doesn't matter as long as it absorbs, which it will.

    If you live in the states, most states they are legal, just walk into a pharmacy and ask for 25 gauge 1 inch for your prescribed test. If you are on TrT you should have a script anyways. If insurance wont pay for them, they are a dollar a piece. No need to use insulin pins unless you want to

    Cant argue w that. But if you are only pinning twice a week, 8 dollars a month may be worth the convenience.

    Again, you do not need anything longer than a 1/2 inch insulin syringe. I strongly recommend the one-piece 25G-28G system. You can get them delivered to your door for about $0.15 each (box of 100), even less if you buy in larger orders.
