Is there a need to aspirate when going sub-q?

Bro's, will be starting subcutaneous injections of HCG eod on Monday and wasn't sure whether to aspirate just as if I were doing an IM injection or to just shoot it when the needle has penetrated. Thanks in advance,

dude, why eod for the hcg? and, no, you don't have to aspirate as there are no veins in your fat.

roger that ... the reason to aspirate is to be sure you're not in a vein. Like chip said ............
