This website doesn't list any kind of testosterone, unfortunately. I'm in the US and typically testosterone gel is around $150. It's a lot more expensive than testosterone injections, which are around $20. I am needlephobic so I take testosterone gel. Also a lot of trans men have more mood swings on injections especially in the last few days before injecting again.

That's unfortunate. Don't think I could handle doing injections on myself either, I'm fine with docs usually but that's a whole other animal of uncomfortable.
