SubQ question

[TrtLA90254]

Hey guys I’m a couple weeks into TRT current protocol is:
T Cyp 200 mg/ml – 0.35 ml IM/SQ twice weekly.
HCG 500 iu SQ twice weekly.
I would like to inject subQ and have read lots of differing opinions on needle size. I was prescribed 1ml Luer Lock syringes with 25g 5/8” needles and my prescription saying either IM or SubQ. What is generally the most common size needle for sub Q in the abdomen?

I don't inject Sub-Q, I do inject shallow IM. The syringe I use is an easy touch 29 g half inch syringe. It should also work fine for Sub-Q injections.

fixed low dead-space needle/syringes well worth it....

I inject subQ and use a 29g

I have the easy touch 30g 1/2” that I got for the hcg. Besides taking some time to fill is there any downside to using those?

I use 5/16" 30g. And have even gone smaller with no trouble. I was recently away, had to stay a couple weeks longer than anticipated and ran out of my usual. I had to buy what I could find at local pharmacy. Only size any of them had were 3/10" 31g. Worked fine for T in grapeseed oil and HCG.
