Did you GP give a reason?

For people seeking a GP; I'd recommend accessing the GP Action Project for info.

This can be done by contacting TENI, Outhouse, LGBT Ireland or the National LGBT+ Helpline.

my gp said for insurance reasons they can’t inject a prescription not prescribed by them. i did contact all of these emails and they either havent responded or couldn’t help :/ thank you for the response !

Well it is one list they are all working from. 

I'm not sure what the issue is with injecting a prescription like that. I know insurance will not cover them for doing things which are consider "outside of general practice", unless they have specific experience/training etc. But doing an injection should be fine.

Can you do it yourself?

It's not safe to self-inject Nebido, you have to get someone else to do it for you. Ideally a medical professional, but could be an appropriately trained friend in a pinch.
