Yeah, I had an issue with doing the stabbing motion. My muscles often would just give out and not complete the motion with enough force. And that was after struggling to do it at all for several minutes each time. For me it's probably partly that I'm on the Autism spectrum and have ADHD as well. But I just recently got this same autoinjector. Way too expensive for what it is, and the high US tariffs for importing it make it even worse. But as long as it lasts a while, it was well worth it.

maybe i could switch back to injections with there idk

I'm so happy you found a solution that works for you!

I also prefer injections now that I found a method that works for me. I started with sublingual then moved to estradiol cypionate 5mg/ml in cottonseed oil in 5ml vials. With injections I found that part of the problem was that I was prescribed 18G needles to draw and 23G needles to inject. With the 18G needles I was coring vials and with the 23G needles they hurt more than they needed to and left little red dots at the injection site that would last for months. I switched to 23G for drawing and 25G for injecting. The gauge of the needle made a huge difference for me. With the 23g needles I no longer core vials, but it does take longer to draw. The 25G needles are painless now. With the 23G I had to use a bandage where I injected, but now with 25G it can be hard to tell where the injection site was.

If I can obtain it I would like to switch to estradiol enanthate in MCT oil at 40mg/ml. The carrier oil is less thick which makes it easier to draw and inject. The much higher concentration means you have less volume to inject. I plan to use even smaller 30G insulin needles for drawing and injecting.

I never knew needle aversion was so common, I just did my injection. I have no problem with it but I'll keep this in mind if I come across someone that hates needles.

Wow maybe I could switch back to injections

I kinda fucked up my shot and bled a couple times and started to get afraid of it so I switched back to pills. I was sorta hoping to do monotherapy at some point though so maybe this would be a good solution

I'm still scared of needles but at least with undecylate my shot is only once a month, so it's more bearable

When I had to do self-injections, I just slowly (over a minute or so) pushed the needle in, and then slowly pushed the plunger as well. Made it much easier, and didnt accidentally tense up.

Dunno if it works the same for your meds, but it did work for me.

Interesting you had to increase your dose so much. I'm on 1 ampule of Neofollin and my test results are always 600+ pg/mL.

What about DIY?

Is what I always recommend specially to people who live in a country like Czechia. Options there for transitioning are not the best...
