I'm thinking of switching from gel to injections. If anyone here has experience with that, how is your experience?

I just switched. It's so nice cutting out the application and drying time twice a day. I was expecting the oily depot injection to be painful, but it wasn't at all. Not sure what fluctuating hormone levels is going to be like, but at least I have gel as a backup.

My doctor doesn't offer self injections, but I'd like to start at some point, especially once we've got the dose figured out.
