I accidentally touched the needle after putting the E in my syringe, so I injected it into my bed before I threw it away. Will it make my mattress softer?

I'm not. But I'll manage.

Okay. So I pinch it between my fingers the same way you do with the stomach then, right?

Despite my high DIY dosage, I don't think the E is really working throughout the entire week. I feel distinctly worse on some days than others.

Does anybody have any resources for doing SubQ buttock injections? How easy is it to miss the spot, and what can happen if I do?

No, I don't think so

Just did my 4th shot. It only took me like 12 minutes this time!

I felt this strange numbing, almost "sucking" feeling around the needle after it had been in my stomach for a few seconds. I didn't get scared and pull it out again, thankfully, but I'd appreciate it if anyone knows what I'm talking about.

injection anxietyDid my third shot a couple days ago. Somehow, I think each time has taken longer than the last. But on the bright side, I got it all in there this time! It's definitely working to some extent, but I have no way of knowing if it's "enough".

I probably blew on it. But I won't worry about it.

It's not like it even hurts that much! They're only half an inch in my case; it's less painful than scratching myself. I guess the penetration just makes it feel scarier.

Yeah, it's just because I had the needle exposed for so long before using it. Even though I never put it down or let it touch anything.

Injection anxietyI just did my second injection. I don't know why, but for some reason I was more scared to put the needle in this time. I sat there holding the syringe full of estrogen for like 20 minutes after I filled it up, and now I'm worried it got infected. I'm sure I'll get better at this soon, but I thought that it would be easier the second time...

And I chickened out before I got it all in again. The thing is, most people say Lena's recommended dosage of 0.22ml at 50 mg/ml is way too high, so I'm not really worried about losing 0.6ml, but I wish I were at least brave enough to do the full thing.

I feel kinda weird again, but I know it's in my head.

No, it's still reassuring to know that I can't be delivering it wrong, at least. Thank you
