Crystal's Primo Log

Hey there! Always glad to have you join along. :)

I wish I took a pic to better explain but there was about .1 ml of oil left over in the end of the syringe and needle neck after I had pinned. It sounds like such a tiny amt but when you're only pinning .3 ml like myself, it makes a huge difference.

I just read that not all syringes are wasteful like that and having oil left over after pinning is typically a downside to most syringes that have replaceable needles. *shrugs*

I figured thats what you meant. I was gonna suggest you use the ones i do. I think the post above beat me to it.
Here is what they look like. IMG_0720.JPG
 
Gotcha. Do you possibly know where I can find some 1 cc syringes like those?

The syringes with the "low dead space plunger" are made by Excel. In the attached picture you will see the 1cc model numbers that have this type tip identified with and asterisk beside the model number. This info is from the excelint website

Edit: it would appear there is only one model that uses lure lock needles. These are the needles that twist on and lock. Item no.26049. The remaining models use lure slip needles that are pushed on and held on by friction only

Ahh, thank you! Off to Google some more, ha.
 
Pin numero dos this morning was a success using the airlock technique that @MamaLifts shared with me. I was so happy that all the oil got pushed out even though I still used a 3cc Nipro syringe. Thanks again for sharing!

I tried really hard to pin myself in the left glute but couldn't do it comfortably while injecting at a 90 degree angle. Had to have my husband pin me again while I was laying down. Maybe I should work on stretching some more, lol. Eventually, I'll need to figure this out on my own because he won't always be around to do the pinning for me. I'm going to try and work up the courage to pin quads next. Eek!

Ordered a bottle of Nizoral shampoo in hopes that it will help me not shed too much hair later down this cycle. I worry because I already have thin hair. Going to use it 2 or 3 times a week.

Have you used Nizoral before?

Congratulations @Crystal234 on your 2nd PIN [emoji123][emoji106]. , yes try to pin in the quads, remember to relax, you can do it..

I am looking for word to more of your posts and your progress [emoji123]. I wish you the best and to future progress ..

I myself need to learn how to pin myself before I start a cycle.. Are there any do's and donts about pinning one self? Everything here is very educational [emoji106]

No problem! Glad it was helpful :)
My quad was my very first pin & the only one I did myself.. I contemplated & stressed for a loooong time before I finally stuck lol. My next pin was also in the quad. I experienced a little soreness doing it there, but zero with the glute (dorsogluteal). You could also try the ventrogluteal site (hip area) if having to pin yourself. I might have to do that from time to time too.

*off to get stuck I go :D*

Just a thought, why dont you just use slin pins? 1cc and no left over oil. I dont use them cause its to slow for me, but i have 2 friends that use them for all oils.

Dont sweat it quads are the 2nd best spot next to glutes. Dont think of it as quads think of it as outside legs. Your looking for the vastus lateralis fancy name for the outter leg. Just stand up and put your hands directly by your sides like your standing at attention. Where your middle finger falls is where you want it. The broad flat area on the outter leg. Little no no nerves makes it the most suitable place to jab. Infact you can go high or low in this large area of the leg but for beginners purposes just pin where that middle finger lands. Do it laying on a bed so your legs are relaxed

I wish I agreed.,... I'd rather pin tri's, bi's and delts than quads. I literally fucking HATE quads.
