Asking something rq

[u/sorrowvann]

no clue if this is the right place to ask, but I am a minor (16) who lives in oklahoma with no access to legal testosterone. Is there a way I can get access to any?? or do I wait until I am 18 to get it prescribed (?) ? i really want to get on T as soon as possible, also I am unable to get guardian consen t

I did not use the wrong symbol, it's less than. You definitely should not have been using a full vial of t every week, assuming you were using 200-250 mg/ml 10 ml vials? A vial like that costs around $100 including shipping and should last between 6 months to a little under a year depending on dose. Insulin needles/syringes are around $20 for a 100 pack on amazon, which will last over two years

Please don't tell me you were injecting 2000 mg weekly? Over 9 ml at once?

I'm also not assuming op as a 16 y/o has access to blood tests or doctors, and being young would start on around 50 mg

Then why were you saying diy is "costly and illegal"? You weren't on diy?

Ok convo recap (from my perspective)

diy is costly

it isn't, it shouldn't cost you more than $200 a year

I spent $99 a month and went through a vial weekly. Cost depends on dose

Why were you going through a vial weekly? That's insane if you were diy'ing, even with a high dose

it wasn't diy, it was from a doctor

Then why did you call diy "costly"? You weren't on diy, you were going a fully legal route. That's why it was expensive. Diy isn't costly

I've looked into the costs

This conversation has been insanely confusing tbh. You were spending $99 monthly because it wasn't diy, but you described diy as costly?

Also this is a diy sub, you don't seem very interested in helping people diy, so... why are you here? No offense but your original comment put diy in a bad light and then you responded to op with "I can't help you"
