Shooting HCG with insulin needle

**msu16366** · 07-22-2005, 04:00 PM

I just want to make sure I am doing this correct. I should pinch my stomach by my belly button and only pinch a small area and shoot the HCG with the insulin needle in between my 2 fingers that are pinching the skin.
How much should I pinch (fingers a half inch apart ok, or less) Thanks

Bro,

Pinching the skin is only to give you an easier time of breaking through the skin layers and depositing the med. I don't use that technique myself. I simply let the needle slowly break through the seven layers feeling the point when I'm through. Then, I inject. Personally, I think the skin pinch is unnecessary. The slin pin is so small it will slide in with ease and you'll feel when you've broken through. Sub-cutaneous injections are easy. Just relax and give it a try...you really can't do any big harm with SC jabs no matter what you do.

I am using .3 c insulin needles. I mixed the hcg with 2 ml of ba water so .2 cc would be 500 iu's, (I hope) the insulin needles say 30 units max so not sure what that means.
