    HCG injection site

    The long and short of this is that I was in a severe accident, couldn't walk for about a full year, lost my leg, and am now very fat. I'm finally walking again with a prosthetic, and working out, but regardless, I currently have a sizeable amount of body fat to deal with. I am on gel trt, and started using HCG again, but where should I inject. I've been doing SubQ in my belly, but my boys still feel deflated. I'm doing the daily dose of 100 protocol. I'm concerned that with the amount of fat tissue in my gut, I'm not getting proper absorbtion. Is there an alternate location that would be more beneficial and guarantee better uptake? Any advice would be appreciated.

    I had better uptake injecting HCG in the love handles. I also felt better injecting 400iu twice weekly vs 250iu 3x weekly.

    Everyone is different so what works for me may not work for you. Try the love handles for a couple weeks and see if you notice a difference. If not, I would try a larger dose of HCG, possibly cutting back on the number of injections.

    Cornfed,
    Dave's suggestions are very good ones. This may sound over the top but I inject my T into the fat in the pubic area. Lift, pinch, inject. (Actually, each dose I inject into TWO spots. I take the same syringe and inject the other half of the dose into the abdomen. Of course alcohol prep each area. The science behind this is very simple: The more of the dose that is exposed to body tissue, the easier and more efficiently it is absorbed. Riddle: Which dissolves faster in a hot cup of tea - a teaspoon of granulated sugar or an identical measure solid sugar cube? Answer: The one with the more surface area exposed - granulated.)

    You might consider injecting hCG the same way and into two different areas.

    I went from gut to quad and for me it works the same, got sick of having 2 bruises on my stomach all the time. Also I do 100 HCG daily.

    I always bruised in the abs as well. Once in a blue moon I will bruise in the love handle area, but it's not often.

    I was bruising in the abs too, I changed to the sides. But I wasn't pinching, now I pinch and no bruising since then.

    I'll try further out on the love handle, but when I say I'm fat... I mean FAT! lots of tissue there. I was thinking of doing it up towards my solar plexus, where the fat is a little thinner. Does anyone see a problem doing it there?

    I stick it anywhere, including IM and it appears to work regardless.

    For the most part it really does not matter where you inject it. As long as the area is healthy and pink it will be absorbed. Multiple site injections probably would not be any more advantageous than a single site as long as the dose is not huge. An argument could be made for daily injections as it would give a more steady state level (less peaks and valleys and so a more consistent T and E2 level) but for the average Joe it probably doesn't matter and twice or thrice weekly injections work just fine.
