Injecting into the wrong area is my only hangup about it, I'd much rather not have to take pills every day.
It's very easy not to inject into the wrong area. The right area is very large and easy to identify.
My first time was scary, now it's easy peasy.
Even the depth? It just... I can't see what's going on.
I hope it's the same for me.
I do a 1" 23g needle, and it goes all the way into my thigh.
I take my thigh and imagine a DnD alignment grid on it. If I'm injecting into my right leg, I inject into chaotic neutral. If left leg, lawful neutral. I do this z-track method thing and it helps me bleed a lot less. https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/what-is-the-z-track-injection-method
I still suck at doing left leg so it kinda hurts sometimes. But the process is simple.
Oh really? For some reason I was worried I'd have to like, gauge the depth or something. I guess I'm thinking of how IV looks hard.
Is there a danger of hitting a nerve?
I've poked some very uncomfortable things before. You just go slow, back out a little if you hit something that hurts. There are very few large blood vessels in that part of the leg, so I rarely bleed much. And if I do, it looks scary but it's fine.
Also like, sometimes the needle doesn't go "all the way" in and it's fine. Thighs are meaty and there's a bit of freedom as to where it ends up.
Thank you for all the information, I feel way better about hrt now.
Look into using a 6mm depth 31g (small) insulin syringe. You just prick your thigh or tummy fat and that's it.
