Hi, I'm currently planning to try DIY by using spray. Anyone experiences with that?

If so:

How much do you try and where do you apply it?

So in order to do DIY with spray you will also need a blocker (and with gel too), but as others I will also recommend gel or injections over spray. Injections are scary at first, but I promise you it becomes easier with time.

Gel is fairly easy, but you need to apply two to three times per day. Also be careful not to get any on the hand you will be taking blood tests from. Also, don't get spray or gel on anyone else. I have ADHD and I tended to forget to apply at times. It can take a moment for it to dry, but then after that you're good to go. With spray it's all fairly similar.
