Where do you guys inject?

[moonpies4misfits]

I’m sorry, sounds like a rough journey. Hope you feel better post hysterectomy.

Early sudden menopause was a bitch, but totally worth it and and was very much welcome after 20~ years of debilitating pain and constant periods

I do my stomach, but you can do thighs or arms as well, just make sure you are alternating and not injecting in the same place! I haven't heard of anyone doing their butt, but im sure someone on here has! lol

Seriously? There are countless reasons to have abdominal surgery that aren't cesarians and tummy tucks But since you asked, I had extremely severe deep infiltrating endometriosis, have had dozens of cysts removed, many of which were larger than grapefruits, I've had a frozen pelvis twice, and I had a hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy where my uterus was completely fused to my colon. The endometriosis was covering basically every organ in my abdominopelvic cavity as well as being adhered to my peritoneum and infiltrated through my peritoneum into my abdominal wall.

I have 15 holes in my belly from 5 separate robotic surgeries. On top of that, there are a number of fascial adhesions between those scars which aren't visible.

Endo is one of the only things I remember from OB. Terrifying to think about and I'm sorry you went through it. Hope you recovered well.

Lateral thigh mid way is great. I swap. Legs and rotate abdomen also

 

[Bacchus]

Is it even recommended to inject in the buttocks? In my head it seems like the least painful spot. Probably because I have the most fat there I do wonder how to reach it without help though

Anywhere you can actually hit subcutaneous tissue is "fine". But, if you get an injection site reaction, you probably don't want to sit on it

Generally the stomach is the easiest unless that's not practical for you for some reason

 

[PorcShanc]

I prefer the stomach as that seems to work the best for me. Thigh burned like hell and arm didn't seem to be as affective as the other two.

How did you come to the conclusion that injecting in the arm wasn’t as effective as the other two sites?

 

[dndgeek]

I have a few peps in my stack so I rotate between arms legs and abdomen. you just want to make sure there is enough subcutaneous tissue(fat) in the area. Every body is different but between these areas I have about 12ish injection sites.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

I usually inject while I'm at home.

 

[Spud82]

I think different places work better for different people. I can absolutely tell a difference in how well tirz seems to work in my arms (where I prefer) than injecting into my thigh (doesn't seem as effective)

 

[latviantower]

Belly for most things. Thighs for GHK/GLOW/KLOW cuz I’d rather have thigh be sore than my tummy. IGF (in acetic acid buffered with BAC) I do IM, biceps or delts.

Got a pile of NAD+ I need to consider. Sounds like another spicy one.

 

[MsGizmo]

I am very curious about this. I take my injections in the belly but my last one wasn’t a very nice experience so I was thinking to do it in the buttocks next week (haha I realise this may sound super wrong, or maybe not , English is not my mother language )

What are your experiences?

Belly. Plenty of real estate there. I don't think my butt would be a very comfortable place if something went wrong. I'd have to sit on the bruise.

 

[Coulter1966]

Upper belly button, either side. lower belly button are is a little uncomfortable for me.

What are your experiences?

Alternate left/rite belly fat with Tirz and Insulin. 27guage needles don't bother me as I'm relatively pain tolerant cause I'm always hurtin and one little poke is a nothing burger. Have started using reusable peptide pen(V2) with 31g-5/16 needles that i can't even feel. I got a half bajillion of em cause I reuse the same needle over again(I know). Not a recommendation just how I do it, cause my risk tolerance is way up there. YMMV

How did you come to the conclusion that injecting in the arm wasn’t as effective as the other two sites?

Only the most effective scientific measuring tool. My ass. Ok so serious answer, it’s been a while since I posted that and I am a lot more lean now and have moved to my “love handles” or what’s left of them as it’s a lot less painful to pin there. I think my subjective feeling on injection sites had to do with blood flow to that particular area. The stomach fat should be getting and has a lot more blood vessels in it vs my cold ass arm fat (at the time) and I think that slowed uptake a tad. Not really based on any hard data but I think that is what caused me to think that way. I noticed the same thing when I moved to my back flank (slower uptake) but I don’t have too many good spots to poke anymore so it is what it is. I also inject every night so my blood serum levels are quite high all the time so I don’t really notice the feeling of appetite suppression being stronger the next day anymore.

 

[Tbagger]

For the spicy peps I do glutes/love handles. For the rest I just pick random posts on my stomach. I'm starting to slim down though so I have to be a bit more selective and pinch instead of just pinning with abandon. And for IM (I don't do much IM) I go with the top on the thigh.

The location of each product is different. It is best to choose the location based on the product

I inject in my stomach for tirzepatide. But I shifted to my thigh for KLOW. The KLOW reaction at my stomach was too strong, it kept me awake all night.

 

[Calm Logic]

For subq, fave is love handles, sometimes twisting around to do it.

For IM (like for glutathione and testosterone), mid lateral thigh at the vl muscle (vastus lateralis).

 

[tallclarknhandsome]

On the couch, or in the bathroom...

Oh

Reta, vesugen, nad+, mt1, cjc/IPA in the belly. Bottom fat roll 6" from the belly hurts the least.

Klow and sub q glutathione go in the upper thigh. I can deal with the pain in my leg easier than the belly.

 

[Bellybutton]

I only take tirz so far, but it just goes in one of my belly quadrants that isn’t the last one I used
