HCG injections and bruising

EnhancedToronto

So I started hcg about 3 weeks ago and I injected with a 25g 5/8 on a 45 degreen angle zero bruising.

But as recommended I sourced fixed tip BA insulin 27ga 1/2" needles and injected and received a nasty bruise. I have a vacation coming up in 3 weeks and I don't want bruises all over my stomach. Is this something that just happens sometimes?

So the shot I did bruise was 4 fingers left of my Belly Button, and 2 fingers down. (spot doctor told me)

But the two shots I DID NOT bruise I went 4 fingers either side of belly button but slightly UP or about parallel with my Belly button, and not a mark.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
 
First off, do yourself a favor and get 31ga insulin needles. Love handle area works for me. Also, do you take aspirin or other blood thinners? Lots of the "G" herbal supplements thin blood.
 
I won't inject in my belly. I agree. Try to love handles or even the VG.

@JmarkH may be onto something with blood thinners. I've been injecting HCG since July last year 3, sometimes 4 times a week in the belly fat area (2 inches off the belly button) with a 30G EasyTouch syringe, at 90, 45, 47.5, 82.3 degrees and only once I've had bruising. Maybe I hit a vein or something.

Keep in mind that Vitamin D, aspirin, Ibuprofen, Aleve, Fenugreek, Ginger, Omega-3, etc, all of them have anticoagulant properties, so combining them will increased the likelihood of bruising.
 
ahhh so I can inject my hcg within that white area? No issues? Or even in my v glute where i put my trt?
Yes, you can inject in the glute if you like. I inject in my shoulders, VG The area with the x, and love handles. I do daily injections with testosterone and twice a week with HCG.

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.
