Painful HCG injection

[eman]

Okay, I just tried an HCG injection (200 I.U). Used sterile water as the mixed solution...and damn did it hurt. 25G 1 inch pin.

Is this common? It hurt during delt pinning and even more during inj. I was unable to complete the process but my delts were twitching afterwards. After a few minutes no pain...what gives?

Am I doing something wrong or is this just common?

It s not intramuscular, it is subcutaneous. You're supposed to inject in the belly fat, not the delt.

You can shot it in some pinched fat with a slin (29 gauge) pin.

Hi,

Thanks for the response. However, I have heard that you can inject it IM or sub...

Here is one link:

Has anyone have any experience with IM HCG injection?

You can do either way but it's much less painful and easier to do it subc with an insulin pin.

It'll last a lot longer after mixed if you mix with BAC water instead of the provided sterile water.

OMG it isn't even close. The SubQ with the slin, I couldn't even tell where I injected if I did not already know.

I found that sterile water leaves a stinging pain too and bacteriostatic water doesnt....and I use it sub q with a slin
