few questions about SC injection

[testo66]

Hi all,
I just moved from androgel to 2 SC shots per week of 62.5mg T each (yielding 125MG per week).
I also introduced HCG as recommended - 2 SC shots of 250 IU per week (same day as T shot, each of them in a different place in the abdomen).

a few questions came up:
1. I read you can inject the T SC into the glute fat and it sounded like a nice idea -
where exactly is the recommended injection site in the glutes for sub-q?
is there a difference in the effect comparing to the abdomen?

2. I'm currently injecting with an BD Insulin Syringe 30G 8mm (5/16")-
is the needle long enough for SC in the abdomen & glutes?
and what length of syringe should I use (injecting no more the 0.25ML of T/0.1ML of HCG) - 1 ML or 0.5 ML?

3. as for the HCG - I can choose to use ovidrel or pregnyl (and using bacteriostatic water to keep them good for long of course) -
is the a difference between them? which is more recommended?
does either of them last only one month in the fridge after reconstitute with BW?

thank you for your help.

sc oil makes for bumpy injection sites, which can make one self conscious when with a new girl, but I've not had any real issues with them, im seems more reliable and predictable, but sc let me give my muscles a break, although I am probably of the opinion that im is better and am back to that again

the above is about oil injections, not hcg

After reading about a few respected members in here that supported it I asked my endo. He said he is highly against it as it can lead to calcifications. I've stuck to im and no regrets.
