HCG and Insulin Needles Question

[PSU12]

Hey everyone,

I have one question regarding HCG and using insulin needles to inject it. I have never used HCG before but i am going to run it at 500ius every week during my upcoming cycle starting at the third week and run it throughout my cycle. For HCG would i use an insulin needle to inject, or would i be fine just using 23g 1.5in needles. And if i were to use insulin needles would i inject it at like a 45 degree angle pulling the skin away from me instead of a 90 degree angle pulling the sking tight. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated and sorry if this is a dumb question.
Thanks,
PSU12

One more quick question, if i were to use an insulin needle would i use something like a 29 gauge needle.
Thanks again,

Music,
Thanks a lot for the help, im still not sure if i should inject HCG with an insulin needle or a regular 23 gauge needle. I was also wondering if i were to use an insulin needle if i could inject in the glute or should i follow the injection sites from your reply link.
Thanks a lot,

You shouldn't use the 23g. There is no need to poke more big holes in yourself lol.

If you are low enough fat you should be able to do IM in your quads with an insulin needle.

I'm interested to know if you could just shoot in your glute considering that its all fat anyway above the muscle so wouldn't it be like doing subq? Cause you wouldnt get through the fat with a 1/2" needle.

IM or SQ doesn't matter. The metabolism is slightly slower and less painful with SQ which is why it is recommended for people on hormone replacement therapy most of the time.

If you can, the smaller the needle you can get away with, the better. Less scar tissue this way. I personally use a 31G 5/16" 0.3cc for my HCG injections.

I actually didnt even think about that, but you make a real good point, if anyone has an answer to injecting HCG in your glute with 1/2in insulin needle please let me know.

This is exactly what I do. I use a slin pin and poke my quads IM. No need to use a big needle.

Don't use a slin pin on your ass, you'll never reach your muscle with 1/2".

You won't even feel a slin pin in your quad, these are painless injections.
