Self-administering testosterone is often necessary for individuals undergoing Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) to address symptoms of low testosterone, such as fatigue, decreased libido, muscle loss, and mood changes. It enables patients to maintain consistent hormone levels and enjoy the benefits of improved energy, physical performance, and overall well-being without interfering with a normal schedule.

Each person’s physiology, lifestyle, and health goals vary, requiring personalized dosing schedules for optimal results. Depending on your needs, you may be prescribed one or two doses per week.

Testosterone Injections for Women are a Little Different

Testosterone therapy for women is often prescribed at lower doses than for men, typically for hormone balance, energy levels, and overall well-being. There are two methods of administration.  The first is intramuscular (into the muscle)  or subcutaneous (under the skin) injection using an insulin needle the larger needles needed by men.

  1. Smaller Needle, Less Pain – Insulin needles are thin (usually 27-30 gauge) and short (½ inch or less), making injections more comfortable than traditional intramuscular (IM) injections, which require larger needles (typically 23-25 gauge, 1-1.5 inches).
  2. Subcutaneous Injections Are Easier – Injecting into fatty tissue (such as the abdomen or thigh) is generally easier and causes less muscle soreness than injecting into a muscle like the glute or thigh.

Live Well Cumming uses Testosterone Ethyl Oleate (TEO) for women for a few key reasons:

  1. Thinner Consistency – Ethyl oleate is a very thin, fast-absorbing oil, making it ideal for use with insulin needles. 
  2. Faster Absorption 
  3. Less Irritation
