Using a pen for TRT
-
I picked up a Gansulin auto pen and tried using it for my TRT this morning. I had to press the button a few times to get it to deliver the full dose. Not a huge deal, and better than having to press the plunger manually. I think it's just slightly too much resistence and so the pen stops on its own.
For example, I wound it up to 30 units and clicked the button and it went from 30 to 22. Then I clicked it again and it went down to 10ish. Then another click and it went to 0.

I’ve done TRT for over 15years and have tested every type of injection.
If you can get your testosterone in MCT oil, that’s smooth like butter.
Now im back loading 31g needles to precession with a pen, sounds crazy but im just OCD on how i need to see exactly dose the insulin needle.
I do Subq daily and its 10units which is minuscule so no bumps.

@diesel Yeah really thicc viscous compounds like oils can be an issue. You may need to use a bigger needle.
Also on the button front. Hold it down the whole time. If you lift it the gears will catch to stop it.
@Randy Holding down the button worked perfect this morning, that was definitely my issue!
I do put the pen in a baby wipe warmer on medium heat overnight which I think helps with the flow (29 gauge). But my primary reason for using the wipe warmer is it eliminated the subQ lumps I was getting when injecting cold.
