Delayed PIP in glutes

[Mash]

Hey guys. I just started my TRT and have what I'm guessing is delayed PIP. I have 250mg/ml Test E from Balkan. I followed the recommended procedure for IM injection (had my wife pin me, she has experience with administering injections). Gloves, alcohol swabs, went over the top on cleanliness and sterility. Went with 1.5", 25 gauge for injection in my glute (125mg). It was pain-free at first (pinned Saturday evening) but woke up this morning with some pain and tenderness at the injection site. There's no visible swelling or bruising, just hurts. Is it common to have delayed PIP (or any at all in your glutes)? With my next injection tomorrow, should I switch sides or maybe choose a new site (delts, quads)? I've worked out since the injection, but haven't done any leg or glute work yet.

Normal. But definitely rotate injection sites. I have 4-6 that I rotate through, personally.

hellll no. quads are a no go. tried for years and every single time i hit a nerve and penguin waddle for next day or so. each and EVERY time. glutes and shoulders (for 1cc or less).

typical virgin muscle soreness.. rotate sites and eventually you get used to it..

Yeah,,,virgin mus........................It's soreness and hot to the touch ,,fever...that's the red flag..

Any of you doing sub Q? Haven't looked into it much, but I've heard it reduces aromatization.

I've done it, and had bloodtests. No difference in Test or E2 levels. Just don't do too much in one shot, it leaves a lump under the skin for a few days.

no need to rotate injection site if pinning once or twice per week. stick to the glutes, if you want rotate left/right. after injecting massage the spot HARD for 10-20 seconds
