for testosterone cypionate, providers can prescribe it subcutaneously. i’m pretty sure research has shown that it works effectively even subq. if your doctor told you to do subq, i’d just stick to that. if there’s swelling for more than a day or two, there’s a good chance you’re allergic to something in it

They all say that — just ignore it. It has to do with FDA approval/how it was clinically tested, but you can very much use it for subq injections.

But I would ask to switch to a different carrier oil. Like #1 said, you’re almost certainly allergic but it’s an easy fix if you switch

yeah this is like when someone asks why are tomatoes spicy lol. you'll most likely be switched to testosterone enanthate. i do my t cypionate shots subq and they are not painful at all except when i accidentally inject into muscle and even then it's like a day of being a little sore

fwiw i would absolutely stick with subq. haaaate the longer and bigger needle and since i'm fat i would have to have an even longer one (not by much, but still). seems more to handle and mine are perfectly non painful esp since i rotated sites due to scar tissue buildup. going to try massaging it to see if that helps break down the buildup around my belly button
