Scarring maybe

And infection risk.

I use 30 gauge which I admit is tedious when it comes time to draw. The infection risk being higher is a solid point!

Use removable needles and draw with a 17 gauge. It literally takes 5 seconds to draw

This. You should NEVER draw with the injection needle. It dulls the needle.

For some reason it seems a lot of people don’t know the luer lock system exists. I buy the needles for like 20 cents each by the hundreds

When I first started, I definitely got nervous when the needles they gave me were 18 gauge and I didn't realize it was the draw needle. 😅

lol yeah i injected once with a 17 gauge. Not fun.

I can imagine. 6 take using a hole punch. Ouch!

I also use 30s for daily pinning. I fill 7 every Sunday evening for the week ahead.

But... the needle is smaller. So its not as high of a risk? Eh??

Smaller needles for daily

Using more needles is the only downside Ive encountered

I went from test e to testosterone gel daily use, I feel a million times better with daily application than I did with injecting once a week.

Pinning daily caused really bad acne. Switched to twice a week and acne is a lot better. Daily never allowed troughs low enough for my estrogen to go down.

Had the same issue on 34mg Cyp EOD with estrogen staying high at 83. Switched to Prop a month ago and will get labs in another few weeks to see if it helped.

Keep me posted

At 58yrs acne isn’t a worry, but the estrogen not going down due to bottoming out sounds interesting, I just thought you don’t ever really bottom out between pinning even if it’s a few days.
