if you're uncomfortable with needles I think the gel is gonna be better for you regardless

i believe there are some forms of t shot that you do less often, or that can be done by your provider if that would help. it also depends on how severe your phobia is because having a strong motivation to reduce it through exposure could make medical care in general better for you

I think shots potentially work faster from what I hear, and are cheaper without insurance, but if you’re afraid of needles there’s not really much benefit vs the fear you’d experience weekly

You could always look into slow acting T, so basically a stronger dose that disperses through your body slower so you’d go longer in between shots

gel is more like natural testosterone levels anyway cuz it cycles daily instead of weekly

in full seriousness, my doctor told me about a pellet that a provider injects into your posterior and it released hormones for about three months. Maybe see if your insurance covers that? I do the shot and even i get moments of anxiety every time even though im cool with needles
