Did I inject ventroglutes right?​

So I’m taking a TRT dose of testosterone Cyp and only injecting about 0.4/0.5ml a week.

last time (first shot) I was terrified and decided to go subQ in the belly because I have a decent amount of fat there. It didn’t hurt going in but afterwards got a lot of pip and it swelled up a tiny bit and was uncomfortable when touched. It also bled a few drops and some gear came Back out so a bit of wastage.

so today I tried the ventroglutes because a lot of people say they have no major blood vessels or nerves and are safe. I tried for ages to feel the right place. Ended up standing and shifting my weight onto the foot and felt for a little muscular lump, also raised my leg to try and isolate the muscle. After I got the place I injected 90degrees and it went in like butter. No pain couldn’t even feel it.

I am using 29g 0.5inch BD insulin syringes. Draw and inject with the same.

problem is because I couldn’t feel it don’t know if I got it in the muscle. I didn’t aspirate after reading that is old advice and not needed in certain sites. Whilst injecting it bled a bit towards the end but I kept injecting and when I took it out stopped the bleeding with a tissue.

now I can’t feel it at all unlike when I did the belly shot. Did any test get wasted with the bleeding?

and how do I know if it got to the muscle or was in the fat? Do you think it made it to shallow IM at least?

Sounds like you did it right. VG is the best spot for no/little pip, but it's not like if you inject in the wrong muscle it won't work. Unless you have a big fat ass and a short needle, you're going to get into muscle.

Ah great thanks. Some people have said on other forums it should be about 1 inch higher and 1 inch more towards my butt but I did feel some muscle there so it must have gotten into something

yeah I have an average amount of fat there so even if it got shallow IM or subQ I should be alright. Didn’t feel that subQ sting or bump so probably got muscle

It really is not that huge a deal either way. You are spending WAAAY too much time thinking about this.

That's where I jab. Below the bone. That doesn't look like an "average" amount of fat to be. You look quite soft. I imagine you really have to push the slin pin into yourself to get it deep enough.

Thanks yeah that looks like what I see on all the medical advice pictures too

haha yes what I meant was I’m average fat for a typical guy. This is TRT and I’ve been struggling with my hormones for ages so I’m not built or anything yet, I carry most of my fat on my lower half. Yep I had to really push it in, full depth, worked though which surprised me. I’m gonna try get some longer needles for next time for different sites though

I guess so, it’s my second pin so I’m still fully a beginner at this… damn I was terrified of needles until my first pin a few days ago, always hated blood tests as a kid and even as a adult

just don’t want to pin the wrong site and screw up my nerves and tendons, trying to avoid the big blood vessels and all that. I agree though, overthinking won’t help anything, I’ll try calm down!

No worries... that isn't going to happen with normal TRT doses. The bolus isn't going to be large enough to cause any issues.

If you injected where you indicated in the first pic that is way too low. That’s not where the VG is. Google some videos and you’ll see how to find the right spot. I do VG almost exclusively for TRT. Once you find the right spot it’s about impossible to miss.

edited to add: that pic posted by juice bro is a good indicator of how much higher you need to go.

Yeah everyone has said that so I know I need to go about an inch or two higher and an inch or two back next time, probably pinned my TFL yesterday.

it didn’t hurt and no pip this morning but gotta get the right site so I don’t damage my ligament for sure. At least the needles are tiny. Next time gonna go for delts or the actual VG site

Same here. Any lower and I leak blood like a mofo or can feel it all down my leg.
