[QUOTE="hamletshead, post: 14052, member: 555"] I believe backfilling is fairly common, presumably because of dulling with the insulin needle. If you draw HCG through the rubber stopper, the needle dulls significantly, and it takes a bit of force to pop it through the skin. Some guys on the forum will backfill 10 insulin pins at a time -- essentially breaking 5,000 IU of HCG into 10 doses -- and then put those pins in the fridge and use as needed. I have kids at home who use the fridge, so I don't do that with my HCG, I just push a little harder to get it into my abdomen. It's not a big deal, but it doesn't slide right in as it does with a fresh pin. With test cyp, I draw the appropriate amount up and backfill always, because it's too hard to draw test cyp in an insulin pin. And I'm not doing intramuscular injections anymore, I'm doing Dr. Crisler's subcutaneous injection protocol, so I prefer the little 1 cm needle If you need additional needles, you can order additional 25-26 gauge needles on a lot of places online for virtually nothing. (Here's a link to Vitality Med for 100 needles and syringes for $29 -- [url]http://www.vitalitymedical.com/bd-syringes-with-needles.html[/url]) Last point, you can still inject with the same needle you draw with, even if it's dull. It's not a hygiene issue, it's an ease-of-use and convenience issue. [/QUOTE]
