    Needle size for HCG

    OK Just curious as to what needle size everyone uses for every day HCG injections? I am using HCG as part of the AR PCT, everyday for 3 weeks at 500iu a day. Is it ok just to do this in my delts? I would just alternate each delt everyday. Is this fine?

    Also, where can i get 1ML syringes without the pin? the usual spot doesnt have them, the smallest is 3ml. Any help would be appreciate.

    Thanks.

    insulin pins are what i would use and recommend. no reason to shot IM unless it is just more convenient for you

    Never shot with insulin pins before thats why. I saw you could do both. If thats what you recommend, and you being a vet haha i am going to take your suggestion. From what i recall, is it as simple as going in on a 45 degree angle and just shooting it? I know they are like a quart inch long and real thin.

    Also, does get pins got them i dont see them at the quick glance

    I pinch a fold of skin near my belly button and inject there with 29ga 1/2" slin pins.

    Ok cool thanks. So its sort of like shooting HGH right i would assume right. Big, do you go straight in on a 90 degree angle? Thats what all the vids show but for some reason i thought you had to do it at a 45 degree angle.

    Also, can you do this if you have a totally ripped stomach? HAHA i dont but just curious.

    Thanks guys i appreciate your help!

    I just go pretty much straight in, and even ripped you can pinch enough skin.

    Subcutaneous means under the skin. So that's how you want to inject it. Pinch some belly skin and pull it back and poke so the pin goes just under the skin, not straight in. As was suggested, a 29g 1/2" slin pin is best.

    For me its simple: all the research I've done suggests shooting SQ, and there is no benefit to shooting IM. Also,I think its a hell of a lot more comfortable going SQ. my .02

    It can be done either IM, or SQ, but given the choice, which would be the easiest and simplest? No brainer, but your call.
