it does suck, but more frequent injections also helped reduce my needle phobia, and I had more psychological distress from injecting when I went back to once a week, ironically...
Not me so sorry for answering despite the answer being no. I thought about the various options and injections seemed to be the stand out best to me. Only once a week, more stable levels, bypass the liver and all the associated problems, cheap af compared to the others, the only downside is the needle. It still scares me a little every time, but if I go slow it doesn't even hurt much. Much less than getting blood drawn or something. I do intramuscular in the thigh because when I started that's what I was shown. Lots of people do subcutaneous though and I will probably switch eventually. I'm still a baby though so I'm sticking with that for now since I'm told intramuscular is more consistent.

Hmm, I use spray and that takes about 2 min to dry.
