hey heres a tip: when you use that needle to puncture the T bottle, it dulls the tip so itll be more painful when you inject yourself. If you fill the syringe then unscrew and replace the needle with a fresh, thinner one, itll be less painful

Ryan, I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to record and post your vid!!! I'm so appreciative because I'm not your 'norm' audience (TG/FTM). I'm a cis older man that just needs TRT (testosterone replacement therapy). My Dr. was very hurried about instructions, and there was no pharmacy info. Having never self-injected other than insulin needles, I was scared af. YOUR vid. walked me through it perfectly, and my 1st injection was flawless. Bless you. Peace, Love, Diversity - and stay safe.

Pharmacists don't know the nooks and crannys about testosterone usage,(unless they themselves have had some experience) they mainly know the effects, but I'm pretty sure not everyone injects themselves. In a nutshell, we are all human :)

I watched this video 5 years ago when I lived vicariously through trans men online because I didn’t have the opportunity to start my transition, I’m 18 now and I’m revisiting to learn how to do my first t shot today! Tysm for this video, I hope you know it still helps trans youth to this day :)

I know I’m crazy late to the show but thank you I’m a guy who just got diagnosed with low t and I’m gonna give myself a shot for the first time today

Gripping the thigh muscle (raising it up from femur) makes injections less intimidating. Also easy to give oneself a shot in the glutes.

Thank you for making this video. I am currently 2 weeks on T, and so today was my third weekly shot. I tried doing my shot earlier, but I ended up panicking halfway through. I decided to find a KZread video to help me get through it, and the calmness and depth of your voice really helped me relax enough to finish it. Thank you so much. This will be my go-to video whenever I do my shot.

ask your endo about subcutaneous shots. it's a much smaller, thinner needle and doesn't go into the muscle so you won't have those 2 days of sore leg muscle. there's also gels and patches, so ask about those if you absolutely cannot manage any shots.

Fun note: Prescribed intramuscular injections are the quickest and cheapest forms to get T in your system. I hate npeedles and cried every time I had to get a shot most of my life. About every injection I've done so far (10 of them) has taken me 5-20 minutes of me just holding the needle an inch above my leg with the fear that I can't do it, but I do it every single time and the outcome is worth it, being able to give yourself what you want in this life is rewarding. Good luck!

Ur very handsome and your voice is like hella soothing to me. Tysm for being so cool fr ☺ ur 6y/o video is great Ryan ty.

Thank you so much , two years nearly three years on t l was doing it all wrong . I was bleeding out of control actually start d to hate shot days but this made it so simple . Your very helpful man thank you so much.

Hi Ryan, I've been on Testosterone replacement therapy for quite a while and usually have been giving myself shots in my right glute muscle (butt). I also inject every 2 weeks and my doctor didn't mention I could use my thigh. At first thought, it seems like I might hit a bone or blood vessel. And, while I've seen a few videos on thigh injections, I must say yours was by far the clearest and easiest to understand where to inject in the thigh. So, the next time I'll definitely try your method and feel sure it'll work great. Thanks for the help and I'll let you know how it goes. Btw, I liked the video and also became a subscriber!

Im a dude that was prescribed T. And I want to thank you for the very informative video!

This helped me a lot! I was able to do my shot myself for the first time!!

I have such a hard time injecting myself - it's nice to know I'm not alone with it. Having someone there doing it with me this time helped. So glad I found your video and channel. I really appreciate it (even though this is now 2020 LOL)

I've watched other videos of guys showing how they do their T-shots, but this is by far the best one. This is also the first time watching it has made me anxious, because now I actually have started the process of getting my T prescription, so it's suddenly all very real. I'm super excited, but god I think giving myself shots is going to be a bit harder than I used to think.

I know this video is pretty old, but it completely walked me through my first T shot! I really do think that squeezing the area you're injecting makes it practically painless. Personally, I think it's easier and less scary to give yourself shots, since you know you're in control. I could definitely see why it'd be scary though.

Great videos and your choice of music is dope too :D

10 weeks in and I still come to this video when I have anxiety about my shot.

The 1975 in the background :) good choice, I love that song so much

I do my injections really slow also but I do subcutaneous injections so my needle is tiny compared to yours. Props to you for pushing that thing in

Thank you so much for this!!
