Need Some Help. 1st time injecting

[mulldog]

Hey everyone, well i have been sitting on my bed now for about 1hour just staring at a loaded 23gauge needle with 1 ml of Test Enanthate and i just cant seem to stick it in. Its just all mental but one main player in this mental battle is the fear of getting an abcess. SO i mean how do i make sure that i wont get one? How do i no when im in the muscle?
Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

First of all.. a 25G would work fine for what you're doing.
If your gear is Human Grade or from a trusted source you'll be fine. Make sure you sterilize the area with rubbing alcohol. It's not that bad bro.

Yeah i got the stuff from a board sponsor. These are 1.5inch needles, do you think that once i get 1 inch in im in the muscle and ok to inject?
I just cant get past the sticking it in part. I feel like a dam little girl.

If you're leaner, an inch would do the trick. A 25G pin goes in like butter. If you feel any pain while inserting, you probably hit a nerve. Back out and try another spot.

Do i really need to switch to another needle after drawing out the Test? Or would wiping the needle with an alcohol wipe be fine?

 

[mixxin]

I would switch the needle bro, they're cheap. Not worth taking a chance. Especially if from a vial. I use a 23 to load the syringe and then switch to a 25 to shoot.

spotinjections.com is a terrible, terrible advice site. Some of the info is down right dangerous. www.howtodoinjections.com has correct injection info.

ALRIGHT!!! Finally! 2 hours later dam! Ok well after sitting there for 2 hours i just went ahead and said Fuck It! I stuck the needle in once and got hung up on the aspirting and i panicked so i pulled out swapped the needle, re sanitized etc. A little bit of blood came out when i took the needle out. Then i got the hang of it put the new needle in my glute, inserted th epin in all the way and slowly started injecting. Everything felt fine. Didnt hurt one bit going in, didnt hurt while injecting. Once i was done i pulled the needle out then rubbed it with an alcohol wipe and then massaged it. No blood came out this time. Well im glad i got it done, now i can get some frigginr rest! thanks MIXXIN!
U think ill be alright?
I feel fine and its been a few minutes, honestly cant tell i even did it.

haha glad u got it bro u will be fine bro! sounds like a normal injection nothin wrong happen, next time jus push that mutha fuck in and it will push down the skin but it will jus slide in with no pain at all and id shove the whole 1.5 to be safe. slowly push in the gear. nothin to it bro simple and easy!

as balla said

inject slow.

1 ml per minute... thats what i do... slower the better.. helps avoid tissue trama, and also, helps it absorb faster...

i also like to run my pins with the cap on, under warm water. i let the water run on the barrel of the pin (where the substance is held) under hot water. it makes the inj smoother, and also pre warms the oil to go in smoother, and meet your core temperature in your body faster...

just my opinion..

Keeping the needles in the freezer reduces the pain by 50%.

Always remember to aspirate before you shoot. if you get a small air bubble your good to go, any blood when aspirating draw the pin out and stick another area. YOU DO NOT WANT TO INJECT INTO A VEIN OR BLOOD VESSEL!

Hey thanks everyone. yeah i was pretty pumped thati finnaly friggin did it. this morning it felt kind of sore, but only when you sit on it weird bu tother than that its fine. Yeah the only thing im slightly worried about would be that i didnt inject 1ml per minute, more like 1 ml per 20 seconds or so. I think im fine though. Im running 250mg per week of Test E for 8-10 weeks and around 30mg d-bol everyday for about 4 weeks. And then for PCT some nolva and possibly clomid. If i screwed up the injection at all what are some kind of side effects that i will be able to notice after a while and how long will it take to notice? Thanks again every1.
O and as for the aspirating, i could seem to aspirate without joggling the needle around alot so i just made sure the whole 1.5inches was in my glute then i went ahead and injected. If i hit a vein i think i would have noticed by now.

I was scared shi*less my first time. I'll admit I have a hatred for needles. I actually soak a washrag in steaming hot water, wrap the syringe (with cap on) in the wash rag while I am in the shower. I found it's much easier after a hot shower. I was able to tell a difference the 2 times I did not do the rag trick, it's much easier to inject when it's warm. I guess the shower helps relax the muscle or something, not sure I just know it's easier. I also make sure I get a drop or two on the actual needle when I get the air bubbles out, this seems to make it easier to push the needle in. Always aspirate!! I am also very paranoid about infections, so i wipe the area with 2 or 3 alcohol wipes first. I also wipe down the counters with bleach wipes and use hand sanitizer before I even get my supplies out. On my second cycle, twice a week injections and no problems yet. I will admit to being paranoid, but I would rather take some extra time and make my chances of infection as minimal as possible. All of this could just be me convincing myself it won't hurt, but it's seemed to work so far.
