HCG Needle Length

Is this OK for HCG subcut belly injections? This is what the compounding pharmacy has sent me with the HCG.


Seems a lot shorter than the typical half inch people on here talk about.

Looks like half inch.

8 mm is 5/16. Smaller that 1/2.

It’s fine. I use 5/16. Go in 90 degree straight into fat.

Is it too short to work properly?

No. I use it for testosterone. I pinch the fat though cause I don’t have much fat on upper legs.

Ive been trying to get this question answered but no one is answering my threads:

For 8 weeks I didn’t inject 90 degrees more like 45 or even less. This is for HCG Monotherapy at 500iu/3x week. My total T came back at 345 which went down from 757 of 100mg Test/week by itself.

Will my Total T go up once 90 degree injections of a few weeks stabilize? ( I started 90 degrees 1.5 weeks ago.

It is my understanding that HCG needs to go in subc. If u going straight in leads to muscle I can see an absorption issue.

Check the information packet that comes with your hcg. Mine says to do injections “intramuscular or subcutaneous”. When using a 5/16" needle, it seems like arguing if that is that SQ or IM is kind of futile. Depending on the site, maybe it is just barely IM. Does it really make a huge difference if the needle was 1/16" shorter? Probably not. Its not like the OP is even questioning if a 1.5" needle too long.
