What Size Needle to Inject SubQ With?

[TheDude]

I did my first SubQ injection today of 40 mg of Test Cyp with a 25G needle. I noticed a little leakage. I injected into belly fat.

Also, the stick itself didn't hurt, but injecting did. I felt a little pain for about 30 minutes or so afterwards too.

What is the smallest sized needle one can inject Test Cyp with?

Living in Canada, I inject with a 30g insulin syringe every day. Many in the States use a 29g needle.

I tried to draw with my 31g insulin syringe that I use for HCG, but couldn't. I figured the Test Cyp was too thick.

You're injecting a larger volume of testosterone than I am, but give it time and the syringe will fill.

How much are you injecting? .2mL doesn't seem like it's that much in my case.

How fast did you inject? Meaning how long did it take for you to inject? Was it .40 ml ? That might be near the upper limit. How often are you going to inject? I have started with 30 to 35 ml with a slow injection - maybe 20 to 30 seconds with a 27G needle every 3 days.

Most of our guys either use insulin syringes (29G or 21G) or a 27G needle at a slanted angle (bevel down) depending on where they are injecting.

Thanks,

I use and easy touch 29g 1/2" syringe for shallow IM, I use it for both HCG and testosterone.

I have used both the Becton ****enson and Easy Touch 31 gauge 5/16 inch needles for injecting in belly fat. The BD needle worked well enough, but the Easy Touch needle was very slow to load and required much more pressure to inject - basically unsatisfactory.

Currently I use a BD 29 gauge 1/2 inch needle to inject in my lower thigh. Not much fat there, so it is probably shallow IM.

Yes, I thought it was just me about the Easy Touch syringes. I noticed the exact same thing.

Same -thought it was in my head.

I don't know if this pertains to what you're conversing about. Before I use my Easy Touch syringe. I loosen it up, move the plunger back and forth, otherwise it's hard to move and sticks.

 

[codus2112]

No thats not it, theres something about them because i do that as well. They draw slower and its common to have to push extremely hard toward the end of the injection. I have also bent the needle just letting go of the bottle while drawing. My last batch of syringes were from Walgreens (their own brand) and they were fantastic.

Are you guys using the 29g and 30g needles just really patient? I tried the 29g but in comparison to the 25g I was using it takes forever to inject.
