If possible, buy injection supplies from a medical supplier instead of a pharmacy. They're cheaper, come in bulk, allow you to pick the exact needle size you want, and are far less likely to be out of stock when you need a refill. Some locations have restrictions on this, but you can just get an out-of-state friend to place an order for you.

@hazelnoot@enby.life One common trick is to get insulin syringes - they're super cheap to get anywhere in bulk, including online, come with a 29-30G needle permanently attached, feature almost no dead space where the injectable would go unused. Their main drawback is that the thin needle isn't as easy to get the oil estrogen is suspended in through without creating too much vacuum inside the syringe, causing a bubbly mess, which isn't dangerous to inject because it's not going into a blood vessel, but will mean that the injection site will hurt more and for longer, and at its extreme can make it difficult to measure the exact amount you're drawing. Though with a bit of experience it's not a major issue, the main trick to dealing with that is to leave a bit of air in the syringe while drawing so that it cushions the vacuum, drawing more than you need, thenpushing the air and liquid out until at the right dosage. It could be considered a drawback that you can't use one thicker needle to draw and another thinner needle to inject, but personally We'd draw with the thin needle anway, the rubber seal om a vial is easy to core (break), and the thinner the needle, the less of a risk that becomes, plus extranl needles means more faff and possibly more liquid loss in the process.
