hcg, pain lump redness?

[dsteel]

I did my first hcg shot on sunday IM in my quad and it hurt for a few days later.. went away then my next 250ius was yesterday so I thought I would try subQ in my belly it was easy painless but then same pain started coming back I woke up today and it is red and it is rasied up were I injected...it is relly tender too. Dose not really seem like its getting worse fast and its not to hot to the touch but it is a little worring and pissing me off antone else ever get this? I'm starting to think my hcg is junk.. it generic china stuff, I got some organon I think I'm gonna mix a new 5000iu amp with that for my next shot again on monday...I hope this ant infected or something like that any thoghts would be great guys

maybe im just having a reaction to the BAC water?? this is kinnda bugging me.. do alot of you guys mix your hcg with alot of Bac water like say 10mls for 5000ius would make 500iu for everyone ml? i only mixed 2ml making 20units 500ius im thinking of how to mix my next one.

You shouldn't be reacting like that to a HCG shot under normal circumstances. Something is causing the irritation if your using sterile injection techniques. Either the powder or the water.

Yeah this is just what im thinking, well the Bacteriostatic water is the Hospira brand im sure you guys all use, and the Hcg is generic stuff and i am as sterile as they come I would like to think but its really hard to be careful with any injection. thanks for the feedback if it gets bigger or more red I think ill be going in tomorrow i would say in the 12hour time frame from this morning till now its grown maybe a quarter in size.. i took my temp and im still all good there just still tender red and rasied up..

yeah, but more like a be sting that is swelled up it right by my bellt button about a inch or so out, I took a 500mg amoxicillin i had left over from like last year along with some advil im hopping this is better in the morning tho, its just a little stressful thats all.

im not positive, but i think thats a little too close to the bellybutton. you should prob aim for the love handle area. personally, mine stayed swolen for a couple of days, and itched like hell. if its too much go im and see if that helps any. either way is ok, if your lean enough you can prob still hit it with a slin needle

Thanks for the advice bro, yeah the first shot that I took i went in the quads IM (im really lean in my legs)and it just hurt bad for a few days but then went away... i guess the thing is im putting lml of test in my quads twice a week and it smooth as butter with barly any pain after... oh well I put a big circle outline around it and ill see what it looks like in the morning

I don't think it's an infection but rather something your reacting to in the HCG itself that is causing irritation. There could have been impurities in the HCG or a problem in the manufacturing process that is behind the cause.

Yeah, I think you are right! Woke up today and not really any worse kinnda the same with a lttle less sweling! the generic hcg I used too is like almost cream or yellow color compared to the pure white color or the oraganon amp... I'm gonna toss the stuff and mix a new one fo sunday,

Thanks for your advice bros!
