Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
how do I do subcutaneous injections in my belly without the needle going all over the place when I breathe? is there like a trick? this shit hurts
I just do it in my butt, but you gotta do it in a certain area
might have to try that next time, thx
Idk if this is just for intramuscular injections, but I follow it just in case.
The X is where you wanna aim for.
thank you so much!
That's for IM yeah, you can use butt area for SQ injections it's just a little awkward to reach around. There's a higher up spot but honestly so long as it just goes in subcutaneous tissue and not muscle (affects absorption time) it'll be fine.
It shouldn't take you too long to get in your estrogen so maybe hold your breath, also you can get a partner to do your arm. However, this is your curse as a skinny girl lol. You can kind of pinch up enough tissue to help stabilize too.
Already doing the pinching thing but I just don't have enough to pinch
Also it takes me like two minutes to inject because I'm scared so I guess I have to get faster.
Yeah, if you want to I'd say practice on an orange. Two ways - nice and sharp in like a dart motion or slow and smooth.
Abdomen usually best for self-injection but if your thigh has more tissue do that - not all the way to muscle! Still pinch.
damn, surprising advantage of being fat. I've got plenty of uh "tissue" on basically my whole body lmao
Secret side benefit of being fat, don't tell no one ๐คซ
