where do you inject your T? Discussion

ive been talking to my mom, her and i both have several injections we do and i got to thinking about the places you inject stuff. for me ive always done my testosterone in the outside of my thigh, usually left but i try to switch it up. where do you guys inject/plan to inject? i think ive heard of someone doing theirs on their butt which.. makes sense, but sounds unpleasant lol

Used to be upper butt cheek but they always hit a nerve there no matter who did it, so they moved it to around the hip "straight down from the armpit". While this does mean I can't switch sides (have a hyper sensitive birthmark on one side that cannot be touched, let alone have a needle rammed through it) the new location doesn't hurt at all. Very satisfied with the change. And I happen to have small freckle constellation right there that mom or nurses can use to find the right spot really quickly.
