DIY HRT is less accessible for transmasculine people due to testosterone being a controlled substance in many places. You may need to get your hands dirty and obtain it outside standard medical channels.

For injection, the options are slow-release testosterone undecanoate every 8 - 10 weeks (also known as testosterone bessins or Nebido), testosteron enanthate, and testosterone cypionate, best administered weekly.

The diyhrt.info transmasc guide: https://diyhrt.info/transmasc/
Includes dosing and bloodwork for multiple forms and concentrations of gel and injectable T.

Their calculations for dosing at different concentrations can be particularly helpful if you're obtaining T from resources aimed at bodybuilders, as most trans guys will want to be on lower dosages than those used for muscular hypertrophy.

Self-injection

Intramuscular injection is ideal. If you're using testosterone undecanoate, you could easily be injecting 4ml at a time, so do yourself a favour and divide it between two muscles.
