[QUOTE="aneuman, post: 258565, member: 43264"] Same situation here. I started with Sub-q in the stomach area as well and was very, very anxious about IM, but I was getting some pain in the injection area, so I switched to shallow IM in the deltoids, as per [USER=3]@Nelson Vergel[/USER] recommendation. It's easier and is not painful at all. No need for videos, simply use 27G 0.5" insulin syringe (probably similar to what you're using for hCG) and go 90 degrees (perpendicular) to the shoulder muscle, similar to when you get a vaccine. I then push very slowly, to make sure the jet stream out of the needle doesn't cause any harm in the muscle, but I don't know if that is warranted or not. Perhaps other more knowledgeable people in this forum can shed some light on it. One important thing I think is the volume. The deltoid, being a small muscle (at least mine is) would not allow for large volumes, I'd say less than 0.5ml. I'm injecting 0.15 ml fwiw. [/QUOTE]
