Questions about SC Injection

Pharma TRT

Hi all,
I just moved from androgel to 2 SC shots per week of 62.5mg T each (yielding 125MG per week).
I also introduced HCG as recommended - 2 SC shots of 250 IU per week (same day as T shot, each of them in a different place in the abdomen).

a few questions came up:

  1. I read you can inject the T SC into the glute fat and it sounded like a nice idea -
    where exactly is the recommended injection site in the glutes for sub-q?
    is there a difference in the effect comparing to the abdomen?

  2. I’m currently injecting with an BD Insulin Syringe 30G 8mm (5/16)-
    is the needle long enough for SC in the abdomen & glutes?
    and what length of syringe should I use (injecting no more the 0.25ML of T/0.1ML of HCG) - 1 ML or 0.5 ML?

  3. as for the HCG -I can choose to use ovidrel or pregnyl (and using bacteriostatic water to keep them good for long of course)-
    is the a difference between them? which is more recommended?
    does either of them last only one month in the fridge after reconstitute with BW?

thank you for your help.

No reason to hit glutes, just use your abdomen…much easier to hit. There’s plenty of space to “rotate” injection sites around on the belly. I do my T on either side of my belly button and my hcg on my love handle area. I use a 29g 1/2", 0.5ml. I have the 1ml as well, I just use whichever I grab first out of the box. I don’t know about the hcg, maybe one is generic? I keep mine in the fridge for anywhere from 6-8 weeks usually.

You are through the skin at 2-3 mm but not deep enough with the 8 mm to be worried about hitting any nerve.

catfish74 is right, why bother doing it there? And like he said, you can hit the love handles. If you intend on making it harder then it has to be, use a 1 1/2" 25G IM in the glutes and inject yourself. Trust me, it sucks!
