I used gel for half a year and it was somewhat stressful and so I made the move to injections.
The first injection was very scary for me, but I've been doing them for a while now and it's starting to get pretty routine. It's so much easier in the long run :) I just need to remember what day to take the injection, as opposed to having to apply gel at a specific time several times a day.
I do sub-q een. Initially I had some reaction to one of the ingredients, but since figuring out what I was reacting to by trying different esters it has been smooth sailing.
