This guy's journey on TRT has been an interesting up and down for sure.........I think it's cool he as at least put himself out there.

I generally don't aspirate but it might not be a bad idea.

I inject into into my quad, I aspirated and have not got any blood in my syringe. I have either gone through a vein or nicked a vein, because sometimes even after aspirating when I pull the needle out blood comes gushing out.

I have never aspirated in 27+ years. When I used to inject more than 1 cc in my glutes (cycle) I had that horrible cough (anaphylaxis) for 5 min probably 4 or 5 times in 20 years. Since I switched to shallow IM with 27 gauge 1/2 inch on delts I have not had one single episode.

You probably went threw a vein I've done that once you learn to avoid those locations

Nelson, a couple of times when I've done my injections I've gotten very nauseous and starting coughing for about 5 minutes. I thought I came from getting a good whiff of the alcohol swab I put in my leg. Is it possible it was Anaphylaxis????

shallow IM for the win

Shallow IM is my preferred method. Deep IM would be next, and then sub q. I'm not a sub q guy.
