(Injections are extremely uncommon in my country so I don't know much about how it works and where you do it.)

Unknown parent • • •that's okay, it means I get to choose the "I'm special" option =P
So, for "explain below", I got my first implants yesterday ๐ฆพ I would say they're my preferred method because it's less work and everything else (pills, gel) has been a complication for me for one reason or another, but it's still very early.
Implants also mean I should have fairly consistent levels and not feel so anxious about whether I'm applying gel correctly.
Implants may also be cheaper overall? I was planning to run the numbers today, but this will of course vary depending on a lot of circumstances such as where you live.

(I do a tablet form of testosterone blocker / anti-androgen)
((Which also reminded me to put a new patch on after my shower))

looking at the responses to the polls and seeing all the different interpretations of the same words, it strikes me again how english really is not standardised like many other languages are and is wide open to interpretation.
it really is difficult to communicate in english between different groups without defining words beforehand.

(Not a doctor)
