I’m glad this was helpful! ❤️

Bartlett Daniel its a woman

This helped!
This made me feel for confident about starting it!
I am getting back on injections, subQ this time, from the gel since I was allergic to the cottonseed oil on my first try with them, and after the gel basically doing nothing for me. I had a bad experience with IM injections before because no one taught me how to do it, so I am now terrified of needles, but the music you use in this is so cheery and you make it look like no big deal at all. Thank you too for showing the size of the needles up close! My pharmacy and doctors had confusion at first with what needles to give me, but I think I got the right ones. Thank you for this video, I've been watching you for a while now and you're super awesome and helpful :)
I’m having a similar experience now. I switched to gel the beginning of this year after being on IM injections for 4 years but I want to go back to injections because I’ve been having menstrual problems so I just feel like the gel isn’t working. It’s also been a bit itchy on my left arm after getting a higher dose (3 pumps). I heard good things about subq and I want to try that out because I hated IM. How has it been working for you? I know this is hella late so hopefully you see this haha
With all the curfuffel going on I wanted to say that this video was amazingly helpful. My spouse and I watched a bunch of videos and it was this one that we found to be the most helpful doing my first T shot. (Got my first T shot on Thursday! Yay.) And it's rubbish you getting a strike on this. Thank you for making this though and for being awesome!
This really helped! I am very nervous to do my second shot all on my own (partly because I forgot what my doctor told me to do) but I think you explained it exactly how my doctor told me. Now I think I'm a bit more confident to inject all on my own
I've been on my testosterone for 3mos now and never did one video yet because i just don't know where to begin....but looking at your video helps a lot and gave me idea! Thanks so much
Thanks man! I've been having to get my dad to help me with my shots, and this helped! I did it by myself for the first time!
I’m mtf but switching to subq estrogen injections and this helped me so much
For me it's estradiol but thankfully this video eorks for both :333
what brand can i use as SC inj? in my country only available testo labelled for IM Only. can i use that as SC?
I'm like 5 + months into testosterone and you have no idea how many times I've watched this video over and over again because every few weeks I kept getting scared to do it. 😭
Thank you so much! This was my most painless t shot after i watched this
I've been taking T since April 2019 and am getting better at it finally haha but still have a hard time gripping the fat and holding it with one hand the whole time I inject anyone else have this issue ?? Suggestions ?
Im going to have to my doctors refused to anyone else been threatend by their doctors ?
I start mine tomorrow and I'm so nervous and excited
I've been doing IM for 10 years, I only just recently got the option to do subq so thanks for this 👍
I also have 5 cats and our basement bathroom has a glass door and there's always at least one of them standing there staring at me as if I'm doing something they need to be involved in.
Thank you so much for still having this available for people who need it ❤
Tbh I hardly recognize you in this video, so weird to look at this. Makes me feel so good about starting T! To see how far it can go.
Going and picking up my first dose tomorrow. ❤
How's it going? Deep voice and jacked with muscle?
This helped a lot ❤️ I'm so nervous to start my shots because I'm terrified of needles (which is also weird cause I'm diabetic) This made me see it's not all that bad, I'll be ready
Goodluck if its anyone's first time
im about to take my first shot :]
I hope it went smoothly!
first shot today! needle and vial all set up in front of me rn! 🎉
Oh my god I THOUGHT THE DRAWING NEEDLE WAS GOING INTO YOUR SKIN. I nearly had a panic attack that thing is LOOONG!!!! 2:06
Love doing my shots with ya dude ❤️ I appreciate this
I'm almost 1 month on T and can draw out my dose but I'm too scared to inject it in myself so I need a nurse to do it. Are there any tips you have for putting the needle in without being scared??
For the fear, sometimes it helps me to remember that people I know do this all the time and they are all okay. It helps me to feel like this is more of a routine.
But above all, the things that help me the most are: feeling safe, and feeling certain. For me, they go hand in hand. I feel safe when I feel certain.
It has helped me in the past to write down a step my step checklist of doing my shot. Even if I already know how to do it, knowing that I have for sure followed all the steps correctly really helps (for my Eligard shot, this has been particularly useful)-let me know if you’d like me to make you a checklist, I’d be happy to :)
Having a friend present or on FaceTime who does subcutaneous injections can be very helpful. What helped me a lot actually was: at first, I had my shots done by a nurse. Then, I started doing shots by myself but with the nurse there with me. The encouragement really helped, and also knowing that I was safe because they were there helped too.
If the issue is with hesitancy-I’ve found that focusing on paying attention to the amount of pressure I’m actually using when I inject has been helpful. If I don’t pay attention, sometimes I’m not even pressing hard enough to get the shot done and it makes the whole thing harder. Once I started paying attention to my hand, asking myself “am I pressing hard enough?” I started noticing that I have a tendency to be way too light. It has helped me to imagine “how would I inject this into someone else if they needed me to do that?” Or “how would a nurse do this?”
It’s been helpful in two ways, because (1) by using a more appropriate amount of pressure, I can get the shot done more easily and with less hesitancy, (2) focusing on my hand, almost as if I were just the person doing the injection and not the one receiving the injection, makes me less focused in my fear.
Other things that help are like, having some background noise (makes me less hyper aware of just the injection, which helps) and taking a breath and expelling while injecting (like, expelling my breath like I’m a balloon loosing air, lol I don’t know how to explain. Cheeks puffed, audible controlled breath out, you know? It makes noise but also adds other sensations aside from just the injection, which helps for me personally).
I hope some of this might be helpful! Feel free to reach out any time ❤️
AARON I AM SO SURPRISED. your so fetus
This vid helped me so much
ur such a boss im sitting here going through so much to take my shot today usually it is so easy but today ouch. i had to get on and watch for inspiration.
good vid , my baby girl ( cat) lol crys outside my room everytime i do my injection .
wow his voice has changed so much in his newer videos
Alex Lucas you idiot its a female
Mike Mcneill no one cares what you have to say
Fuck off you lowlife
I JUST DID MY FIRST T SHOT AAAAHHHH
I started subQ last week, I get my second shot this Wednesday in 2 days. I've been so happy and I can't wait to get my next shot
starting today fellas. scared as hell but wish me luck
I hope the first month has gone smoothly for you :)
Been on t 3 years and had to switch to subq from intramuscular. This video gave me courage. Thank you!
what brand can i use as SC inj? in my country only available testo labelled for IM Only. can i use that as SC?
I love that you use Star Wars band-aids. I will have to remember that when I go on T. May the Force be with you.
Thanks for this! i am starting subQ injections in a few weeks an i was really nervous but this helped alot!
What size needle for injection?
Thank you so much! I’m on my 7 self injection but I always panic that I did it wrong afterwards. I watched this and felt SO relieved because I do it the exact same way.
what brand can i use as SC inj? in my country only available testo labelled for IM Only. can i use that as SC?
You remind me of Corey fieldman when he’s in stand by me
did my first shot today!!! thank u for the help
How do you prevent it from leaking out? Mine keeps leaking after I inject
Thanks for this! I'm taking my first unsupervised shot today so I was stressing a little about remembering the details, but this is a perfect refresher :D
Can medications that are supposed to be injected intramuscularly be used for subcutaneous injections?
Thank you so much for making this video. I'm mentally incompetent when it comes to measurements and angles, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what a 45 degree angle was, even when using a photo reference, so I kept injecting myself wrong, but now that I actually see what angle to hold it at, this is going to make my injections so much easier. Thank you again!
JFKR fuck im taking my first sub q shot this Thursday n I’m nervous
Hey so I'm having trouble figuring out what needles I need to get. My pharmacist can't get it right.
Ughhhh.... IDK if I could do that.... I'd probably need to use the gel
You think that's bad watch some IM injection vids. The needle's really long and it goes really deep into your thigh. When I (finally) get on T I'm asking for SubQ.
Oh nooo I didn't keep the needle in long and it all dribbled out. Next week I'll do it right T_T
Thank you so much for making this video, I just took my first T-shot today and watched
your video multiple times for reference. Thank you so much -
@firmearte
Cat enhances video. Thank you.
Yes cats are important to all of TH-cam
We have the same t date, just one year apart! This video also reminded me to do my shot, for thanks for that! I hope you're doing well, Aaron! I feel like I'm using too many exclamation marks. Okay. Well. Thank you!
old voice whO DIS?!?
This is awesome! I want to switch to SubQ injections, what is the needle gauge you are using to inject the T?
Use a 27g half inch or 30g half inch if ure really lean like me
Awww it's baby Aaron! Lol I am switching to sub-q injections soon and needed to see how to do it. I searched and your video came up, so of course I had to watch it (again. I've seen it but it's been ages. Lol) I'm so glad you did this it looks way easier and loads less painful than my current intramuscular injection.
Starting T soon. I wanted to do patches but insurance doesn’t cover it so shots it is. This took away some of the anxiety of it. Thank you!
I wonder how many lives you've saved with this video c:
It stings in my stomach idk how to make it less stingy there . I do it 90 degrees wonder if that’s why . My doctor said 90 degrees is fine there but maybe should try 45 degrees
Your dr is wrong its a 45 degree angle. Hope that helps
oh god I'm so scared
Damn, you call that a small needle? That was a harpoon compared to my insulin needle.
I’m literally crying right now cause im so scared of needles but I’ve heard its the best form of t so im watching video’s to help me feel better
yo what you scared of pussy if you already putting in the work and at your natty limit you gotta go 110% you are watching this video anyway, good luck on your training bro I hope you can get as strong as me one day lol only joking I am not that strong but lets train hard as fuck ok?
Do you have to aspirate when injecting into the stomach ? When I do my shot I get hella anxiety thinking about if I’m hitting a vein or not , then again I’ve been injecting into my thigh ..but my endo didn’t say anything about aspirating when showing me how to give the shot ... I need answers ..
It is always good to aspirate no matter what type of injection it is, just make sure you are safe and happy!
I’m finally coming back to these testosterone videos because I’m doing my first shot today! I’m so excited.
@@applexd5590 well, I talked to my doctor about wanting to transition medically. I was lucky enough that the place I go to has a doctor who specializes in trans patients so I met with them. Then after a couple appointments, the first one was an introduction and a lesson about the effects of hormones, then the second being the actual day where I was prescribed hormones and I had my preliminary blood tests done.
Not all doctors can do it this easily/quickly, but the steps should be similar.
I hope this helps! Good luck!
@@applexd5590 personally, I was in a position where I couldn’t get t for years because of my parents. But, even though I experienced a lot of dysphoria, I’m glad I had the time to figure out what I wanted from hormones before I started. I was a little older than you when I came out, around 14. At the time, I thought I was a binary trans man. Now I’m 21 and I know that I don’t want to look like a cis man.
Obviously, I’m not saying “wait seven years” because that sucks. But do a lot of research on how T effects the body and learn what you want before going through the process.
And remember: you’re still a valid trans person without hormones.
It's been several years alone, but this is still relevant. Thank you. I always want to be safe.
Did you not say the size of the needle?
your cat is so cute
2:47 I thought the cat just fell off lol
Broooo they only gave me long needles I’m scared for my life
Thanks a ton!!! This really helps in my choice!
what size syringe and what gauge needle are u using?
Omg! Baby Aaron video!
I start my T shots this coming week and I’m doing the injection as well 🦁
Same!
I START TODAY AAAAAA thanks for the video :)
Ayyy congrats!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I’m glad the video was helpful!
Hello! I just did my first sub q shot on my theigh today and it went good!! No blood but a bit oozed out . Is that fine?
Yep
Can you share the needle sizes?
What thickness is the needle
The male hormone is amazing no?
For a subq E shot do you inject in the same place and the same way?
Hello! It should be the same for both, yes :)
I’m not sure if you might find this link helpful, but just in case: www.folxhealth.com/library/hrt-subcutaneous-intramuscular-injections
Aaa baby aaron
I just started t I found out that you can do subcutaneous but when I asked the doctor they were confused do you know what I was talking about but before I left I was going to I was able to do it subcutaneous but my question is does it matter what testosterone it is to do it subcutaneous your thing too is there such idiots that the nurse to do it injected me like it was intermuscular so it hurt a lot more than it was supposed to because you put the whole needle in and I don't think you're supposed of a double needle and when you doing it subcutaneously if you can help me let me know if there's a particular type of testosterone name to use subcutaneously or it can be any I would be grateful and appreciate of of that
It hurts so badddd
Day one 😊
Does it feel like forever for you to inject? I switched from IM to subq, my first subq was last week and because the needle is so small it goes really slow. Do I just push with a lot of force? Or is that bad? Cause otherwise I feel it would go even slower or not at all.
Is it true?
*Aaron Ansini* When you switched needles to do the SUB Q TESTOSTERONE shot what needle length did you use and gauge, was it 23g Half inch? just wondering, also i heard there is hardly in Veins in Belly area too Unlike I.M shots thanks Daniel
Sadly I cant get T because its illegal where I'm from :(((
Outstanding video young man. Only thing I'd add: wear disposable gloves to decrease contamination with bare ✋ hands.
damn i took my first shot just now and i realized i used the drawing needle to inject myself and it hurt like a bitch lol hopefully it doesn’t hurt next time
it's february 11th today and i'm starting tomorrow :) this is so old but thank you so much for this video!
Hi Aaron, i have a question. I’m about a year on T and I’ve been doing injections into my thighs, but it’s actually painful while injection, after is fine. Have you tried injection into your thigh? And if so was stomach or thigh site less painful?
#notasimp
I want testosterone but I have not gotten hormone blockers yet sooo. . . Also, I'm a trans 10 year old.
LIL BAB
your channel doesn't show all of your videos :(
(Also I just noticed how much your voice changed wow haha)
What size is the injection needle please?
needles can be anywhere between like.. 22g to 26g afaik
this video helped me do my first shot last night thank you so much you are one of my favorite youtubers!
I'm almost 2 months on t. I do SubQ shots too but in my thigh, after awhile of my shots it started getting harder to push the needle in. do you think it could be cause my skin is getting tougher?
could be scar tissue. be sure to rotate shot sites to avoid that.
What’s the length of gauge you used and gauge with? How many ml are you using?
great video thank you im shots suck
