Thanks for the advice. Doctor only prescribed enough syringes for me to pin every 2 weeks and I want to do ever week. Also want to try different lengths and gauges

I use 23g x 1.5" in the glute and don't feel a thing and seems to work well.

Just ordered 100 bd syringes for like $20 from drugsupplystore.com. They were quick and cheap.

My Doc uses 23g and 1 1/2” needle. I have no idea if that’s good or bad. I usually end up sore though.

Why aren't you injecting yourself?

Has anyone ever used 27 gauge 1/2" hypodermic needles for intramuscular injections? I purchased them for subcutaneous HCG injections vs the insulin syringes, but one of my friends swears that a smaller intramuscular injection can be given with them too. In other words, he says I can inject the HCG into a muscle with a 27 gauge 1/2" needle since my injection is only .25 ml.

Of course. Guys pin intramuscular with slin pins.
