    Needle length

    My doc reordered my HCG pins. The first batch were 1/2 inch and the latest are 5/16. Are the 5/16 long enough? Thanks for any responses.

    Unless you have the skin of an elephant yes. They're fine for subQ.

    that's odd.

    why would you pin your glutes subQ?

    the easiest spot is in the stomach.

    it's right there, no twisting around.
    skin pulls out nicely unlike the glute

    you said semi subQ. that's odd
    if you want subQ, then just pin subQ. if you want IM, then just pin IM. what is semi subQ?

    It was just a thought. Not based on any science or past experience
