HCG Injection Sites

[cheeserter]

I'm a bit of a needle phobic.
My wife administers my TRT (glutes) while I have been taking care of the twice weekly HCG shots in my belly.
For whatever reason this still causes me stress. In an attempt to reduce stress, last night I had my wife inject HCG into my glute, subcutaneously. I felt a bit of a burning sensation, something I had not felt in the belly before.
Same needle size (insulin).

Does anyone else inject HCG somewhere other than the belly? If so, how is it going?

You can do HCG IM, shallow IM, deltoid, thigh, however you want, including in the same needle with your test at the same time. Just doesn't matter. Do what you're comfortable with.

I always inject HCG in my shoulders, with a 29 g half inch syringe. Shallow IM injection.

I always use what's left of my love handles (any fat pad will do). I use a 29g 1/2" pin and is virtually painless.

Can u inject hcg into shoulders?

Of course but it's an IM injection and may hurt more than a fat pad.

Yes, on occasion.

Then just use the smallest insulin pin that you can find (31 gauge, 5/16”), and inject into your abdomen. A 31ga/5/16” insulin pin isn’t exactly intimidating, and you can’t even feel it most of the time.

Don’t make this any harder than it needs to be. Your HCG injection should be the easiest, and most painless injection in your protocol.
