SubQ injections* in glute while sitting down?

Can I successfully inject subcutaneously T, HCG or TB500 in my glute while sitting down? I cannot remain in a standing position (without moving) due to knee injuries...
 
Welcome to the forum Wise!

There are a ton of threads about injecting. Most here do T via IM and not Subq. Some do it all Subq. It seems the preferred method of HCG is Subq for sure. As far as sitting or standing I can't believe it makes a difference. On the T injection the shoulders or the thigh seem to be preferred, I do shallow IM with a 1/2 27ga syringe. Some use 29ga. It's just a matter of preference really. Read all the FAQ's under Testosterone Basics regarding injections if you have not already.

I'm not familiar with TB500.

Thanks for the reply. I will definitely do injections subcutaneously because of my chronic illness, which prevents me from healing from even the slightest injuries.

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.
