SubQ injections?

Oakley6575 · Mar 24, 2023

Not to continue this thread but I sub q'd a small amount of masteron three or four months ago just to see how I reacted and the fucking welt is still there. Doesn't hurt anymore but it is very noticeable in my lower abdomen.

I buy 29g insulin syringes that are a half inch long. I inject into my delts, not my stomach. I've injected testosterone enanthate and Sustanon 250 into my delts everyday and it worked very well. I was taking 450mg a week (for a total of 2mL every week) and just finished up a cycle. I was injecting approximately 25-35IU daily. I like injecting everyday because it's a no-brainer and don't have to remember on which days I need to inject. It's so easy and virtually painless everytime. I've had fly bites that were more annoying than the prick of a 29g insulin needle.

Since the 29g needle is a half inch it was going a bit beyond the subcutaneous layer of my skin and getting into the deltoid muscle. I think this works better than injecting into just the skin.

I love injecting this way an plan to do it indefinitely. At least for any of the faster acting esters I'll inject this way. I haven't injected with an intramuscular 1.5" long 21g needle (what I used in the past) in over a year and a half.

I have been doing my TRT injection sub-q for years. Injecting to fast and disrupting the tissue or 2 high of a dose can leave a welt. But i have figured how to not end up getting those.

That is definitely an IM injection.

I was a little off with what I use, I edited my post.

Perfect... mentally, that's actually what I saw was the 1cc, not 1". Thanks for the clarification though!

That's what I meant to type actually.

@CJ Ha.. I read your mind! Or... maybe my ADD read your mind and inserted that.

Cheers!

Depending on what else is in the injection, like acids or alcohols, it can make a large red welt for some. It also does indeed stay around as a lump and absorb slower. It used to be thought that, especially in fatter people, it would make your E2 raise more than IM. Now, many on trt do subq and swear by it lowering their E2 issues because of slower metabolizing or absorption. I always it was because they were afraid of larger needles but there is something to it for many.

I use IM always though because I get red welts and a noticeable lump for long periods after a pin.

I do this with my trt with no issue. Nice to give my muscles a break from the pins!

I had an interesting conversation with a female workout friend and she was talking about shots in the ass and she asked about smacking me in the ass after a shot.. then it dawned on me, I used to be sore after my shots and now I don't (15 yrs of pharmacy grade).
This has to be that I have so much scar tissue in those areas, that I don't feel them.
It made me think about absorption with scar tissue and if it reduces the efficacy. I started doing some research, thus far everything is related to SubQ (due to diabetic research), but not so much IM related.
If anyone has seen something, let me know. If I find something, I'll post it here.
