4 pins in on my first CJC/Ipa cycle and I'm still anxious pressing the plunger every morning. Everyone sounds so casual in these threads. Does this go away?

Yes. By pin 15 or so it's muscle memory. By pin 50 you're watching TV while you do it. Totally normal first cycle.

Was the same way. About 3 weeks in the nerves faded. Make sure you have good lighting and a routine spot you always pin in — reduces the mental friction.

Two months in. Still feel it a little but mostly gone. You're normal.

If it doesn't fade after 4-6 weeks it may be worth considering whether this protocol is right for you. Some people really don't click with self-injection and that's fine. Oral alternatives exist for many goals.
