Injection sites

Do you pin certain peptides in certain body parts?

Or are the generic upper thigh / abdomen recommend for all?

I'm currently taking

Tirzepatide 10mg ( once weekly)

Cagrilintide 1mg ( once weekly)

MotsC 2mg ( mon,we'd,fri)

I just pin everything in my abdomen. I've discovered that other parts of my body hate surprises.

Left belly, then right belly. I switch weekly and it's marked on my spread sheet so I don't forget.

Do you notice any stronger reactions depending on injection site?

I didn't. I thought about my butt, but I hardly feel the belly.

abdomen switching sides weekly. hurts the least and no one ever really sees it. I do get local inflammation at the site, I bruise easily and get red welts.

I do about 15-30min. You can see the skin get red from the cold. I'm a huge baby with needles too & makes you not feel anything as well. Now I maybe get a teeny dot that doesn't last. I do lower belly

I do a little above my c-section scar on the right. There is a spot without any nerves apparently and I don't feel anything. I did notice a bruise in the area since I started the TA-1 twice a day for my cold. So I tried a different spot and noped right out of that! I will take a little bruise over feeling pain.

I take 6 every day. Abdomen is jacked. I do butt cheeks sometimes (they hurt), under my armpits, and then abdomen last resort.

Shots in the butt hurts? I was going to to that area this morning. What syringes are you using?

I think it's okay.

I've been pinning upper cheeks and I'm thinking that because I don't let the syringes rest outside the fridge long enough, when I inject, that shit hurts. But after it's done, the pain dies down. It's probably just too cold.

I don't have alot of subq in that area too, it's mostly abdomen and under my arm pits.

I pin on a rotation. Left/right delt, left/right lat, left/right abdomen (love handle area), Left/right glute... And occasionally the quads... But those seem to get sore.

This keeps skin from getting scar tissue build up which makes it harder to insert the needle over time.

Generally speaking I'll apply light pressure on the needle in these spots, making micro-adjustments until I find a "numb" spot I don't feel the needle, then insert... This tends to prevent any discomfort.

Whether or not I'm injecting subq or intra dictates needle length.

What brand of syringes.

What brand of syringes.

SPEEDIVO from amazon; .5ml 30g

basic syringes

buying premium syringes would make a difference?

Yes, at least I think so. I tried some Amazon ones at the start, nope. I've been using Easy Touch and BD 31g 8mm. I have a box of .5ml and 1ml in both brands. Both are just about same feel and draw/inject good. Much different that the Amazon ones, more money too.

Damn.... You Amazon!!!

I'll check those out. Thank you!
