    a bit of a newb question...

    so i changed docs to get my trt covered by insurance. all is well but i just used my hcg needle (27g x 1/2") to inject my im test cyp (typically done with a 25g x 5/8"). everything went in ok, but i needed to use more force to inject the test cyp.

    i should be fine... right? no big dif between 1/2 and 5/8" needles for im... right?

    test is oil based so its going to be harder to push threw. 1/2 inch though i don't think your going to reach your muscle with that. your injecting into your fat, thats fine with hcg but you want your test injected into the muscle. 1 1/2 for glute 1 inch for quad..

    Been using a 1/2" for subq well over a year, you'll be fine . Just a quick note, don't try to push the test out too fast as you can get a lump.

    I am going back to test. cyp. from Androgel . I plan on injecting sub-q with a 28ga. insulin pin. You should be fine. Your doctor may, or may not approve, but studies have been done to show that sub-q works.
