So I’m taking a TRT dose of testosterone Cyp and only injecting about 0.4/0.5ml a week.
last time (first shot) I was terrified and decided to go subQ in the belly because I have a decent amount of fat there. It didn’t hurt going in but afterwards got a lot of pip and it swelled up a tiny bit and was uncomfortable when touched. It also bled a few drops and some gear came Back out so a bit of wastage.
so today I tried the ventroglutes because a lot of people say they have no major blood vessels or nerves and are safe. I tried for ages to feel the right place. Ended up standing and shifting my weight onto the foot and felt for a little muscular lump, also raised my leg to try and isolate the muscle. After I got the place I injected 90degrees and it went in like butter. No pain couldn’t even feel it.
I am using 29g 0.5inch BD insulin syringes. Draw and inject with the same.
problem is because I couldn’t feel it don’t know if I got it in the muscle. I didn’t aspirate after reading that is old advice and not needed in certain sites. Whilst injecting it bled a bit towards the end but I kept injecting and when I took it out stopped the bleeding with a tissue.
now I can’t feel it at all unlike when I did the belly shot. Did any test get wasted with the bleeding?
and how do I know if it got to the muscle or was in the fat? Do you think it made it to shallow IM at least?
