[QUOTE="philhess94, post: 20492, member: 6797"] Hi, I just started T injections last night. I used Nelson's HCG/T protocol without the HCG: 50 mg at 90 degrees in the shoulder with an insulin syringe. The only difference is that although I asked for and my doctor prescribed 27 gauge, 1/2-inch syringes, the pharmacy gave me 26 gauge, 3/8-inch syringes. After I pulled the needle out, some of the T leaked out (no blood). I'm concerned because the injection was only .25 mL of T, so did I lose most of it? Is 3/8 inch long enough for the shoulder? I did a search on the forum for "leaking" and saw a couple of suggestions on how to prevent this: 1) Put pressure on the injection site with a cotton ball 2) Gene Devine mentioned the "Z track" method of pulling the skin tight while injecting so that when you let go, the hole is not above the injection site. Does anyone think one or the other of these methods is more effective, or have a different suggestion? Gene, when you say "pull the skin tight," you mean pull it tight with one finger to one side rather than between 2 fingers, right? So that the skin moves to one side? Thanks for helping out a newbie!
