    Well, I Finally Did The Deed......

    Self administered IM T inject that is. I started on my HCG protocol last week (self administered as well), and had a very positive experience with little to no problems, and that gave me the confidence that I needed to try an IM inject. After 6 weeks of running around town to find people that I knew were qualified to inject me, I took the bull by the horns and just did it.

    In the past, I have received all of my injections in the glutes, but I decided it would be a lot easier for me if I shot in the quads. It seemed like it would be pretty hard to aspirate a needle that was sticking out of my ass. Anyway, it ended up to be a snap, and for some reason less painful than the injects I have had in the past. My first two attempts left me with the needle about a half millimeter from my skin, but on my third attempt I was just like fvck it, and it went right in. I was really surprised how smooth the whole process was and if anyone is on the fence about self injecting I suggest you just do it. It's going to make my life so much easier.

    I also went in this morning for follow up BW so hopefully I will have some numbers to post up by the end of the week.

    Hope everyone is doing well..........

    Good for you man!

    BTW, aspiration in the butt is hard and not really necessary. Most of the larger veins are deep in the muscle (as opposed to the quads) so it's very unlikely that you will hit one (but it's not 100% guaranteed). I've been hitting the butt for more then a year with no aspiration with no problem whatsoever.

    Ya, not recommending it, butt I have never aspirated in the glutes.

    Good for you though on your first stab. If you are like a lot of us, you will look forward to pushing it into yourself in some kind of weird way....

    yeah i got that the first time too but after that the quad is actually the easiest and least painfull spots imo. glutes are least pain for sure but half way through cycle and your gaining some mass twisting around to reach and inj gets alot harder haha

    First time is certainly interesting. I remember getting psyched up to do this, and had trouble remembering the proper sequence...shaking hands, etc. First time even bled a good bit, so I must have selected an unlucky spot on my quad. They get easier after the first time and some guys (most?) even look forward to doing it every week. Congrats on getting over the hump.

    I have no problem aspirating in glutes and always do it. After countless injects I have come up blood about 4-5 times. Don't skip the aspiration. It is a simple pull back one air bubble then in she goes.
