Site bruising with sub-q

[JJP480]

Have had a small amount of bruising with my site inj ( igf ) sub-q . Am I doing something wrong like going a tad too deep ? Or is this common ?
No edema just a small bruise on the side of my belly .
I do pull back the skin and inject at a slight angle in the fold using a 1/2 inch slin needle .
Thanks .

Shit happens dude. If it is all the time, I would be suspect, every now and then, S'OK. You likely went through a blood vessel on the way in and some blood leaked out and pooled. Switch sites every inject.

Ive had bruises from sub-Q shots from HGH to IGF to HCG. No biggie. I do have to ask you this though. Why are you shooting IGF into the side of your belly? Unless you are trying to spot inject into your abs, but you said the side of your belly. I was always under te impression that with IGF you NEVER want to shoot in to your stomach area cause the intestines are loaded with IGF receptores and injecting that close would tend to trigger them to grow more than usual. This makes a little sense to me being that you can site inject in areas to try an increase growth localy with IGF. Im not 100% sure about this though. Maybe some peeps will chime in on this.
