Synthergine & Aspirating
I took my first shot today with Synthergine. How do you guys tell if you hit a vein - the stuff is a "dark" cherry red color? Or does it not matter if it gets in the bloodstream? Hell, I can't even read the numbers on the pin because it's so dark

I couldn't read them either. Just shoot for an area you know is clear and push it in. PB

Do it SQ - just as effective. No need to aspirate for SQ shots. Only do one ml per site though as the volume will cause a lump under the skin.

Thanks BA. Since I'm taking 2ml ED thats 2 shot instead of 1 (duh!), Right (just making sure that's what you said earlier)?
So - what's 11 shots when you're already doing 10!
I got this message right before I did my morning/daily shots. I've never done a true sub-Q shot so here's what I did. Pinched the fat on my belly (got plenty there-hehehe). Used a 1/2" 27g pin and went in at about a 45 degree angle - wanted to make sure I stayed in the fat.
I thought I could inject anything - nothing has phased me much to date. But then again I don't use sus or T-400. I HAD to keep the injection time WAY under 1 min per cc as this stuff HURT real bad shooting it in (it didn't hurt like this injecting into the quad!). Is this normal or just because it's a virgin site? (WAY WORSE than any other site I've shot for 1st time)
Last question: Can I inject my mid section ED - seems like there's plenty of spots to rotate around? I'm running out of spots to poke!

It's water based. 90% of water based stuff stings like hell when you inj sq. The way you injected sq is correct. You can even go straight in with the pin, not at an angle, if you pinched enough fat between your fingers.
The only things I know off that don't sting at all when you inj sq are insulin and some GH's. Everything else, forget it! But the advantage is that you don't waste IM sites.
You can rotate as much as you want the sq sites as there is plenty of room, although the stuff is out of the site within 24 hours, so youcould technically use the same sq site over and over.
