HCG Injection Sites

I'm a bit of a needle phobic.
My wife administers my TRT (glutes) while I have been taking care of the twice weekly HCG shots in my belly.
For whatever reason this still causes me stress. In an attempt to reduce stress, last night I had my wife inject HCG into my glute, subcutaneously. I felt a bit of a burning sensation, something I had not felt in the belly before.
Same needle size (insulin).

Does anyone else inject HCG somewhere other than the belly? If so, how is it going?
 
You can do HCG IM, shallow IM, deltoid, thigh, however you want, including in the same needle with your test at the same time. Just doesn't matter. Do what you're comfortable with.

Then just use the smallest insulin pin that you can find (31 gauge, 5/16”), and inject into your abdomen. A 31ga/5/16” insulin pin isn’t exactly intimidating, and you can’t even feel it most of the time.

Don’t make this any harder than it needs to be. Your HCG injection should be the easiest, and most painless injection in your protocol.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
