Hard lump after SubQ

[staygroovy]

Hi,

I injected HCG subq today in my stomach fat. When i drew out the needle it came a small bit of blood (more than normal), and then directly after, it appeared a small long lump about 1.5 cm long. The lump was hard and protruding but caused no pain.

I'm guessing i went thru a vein and it was the vein that swelled up... and now 2 hours later its still hard but now less protruding and is under the skin.

Any ideas what happened? Is there any chance of injecting in to a vein when doing subq? I dont aspirate when I do subq, should I?

How much did you inject?

This is not uncommon when administering oils SubQ. No need to aspirate SubQ.

Just 0.1 ml 250ui with Bac water. I have my slim pins frozen and take them out when needed, wait around 10 mins then inject.

Wait..what?? You developed a lump 1.5cm long after administering .10iu of hCG?

[staygroovy]

No, 0,1ml of bac water containing 250iu of HCG.

doesn't sound good. I got lumps all the time but at much higher doses. Try injecting into your deltoids.

Delts? That would be IM wouldnt it? What other places are good for Subq?

I pinch the skin around my rib cage so I get more skin than fat. I go slow and steady. I have not gotten a lump or any blood thus far.

I am pinning .5ml containing 500 i.u. of HCG.

For me, the key is to pull the skin away from the body.

HCG can be injected intramusculary. Just don't mix it with oil based compounds or inject into an area with.

The "love handles" are a great place to inject SubQ.

whats annoying about using IM for HCG or HGH is that u need 1-1.5 inch needles while in subq u can use slin pin which is like 0.5 inch
