tips on subQ injections---want to avoid bruising, etc.

October 6, 2010

I posted last a while back during my quest for a competent doc who wasn't afraid

of " hormones " . As my quest was futile locally here in Atlanta, I bit the bullet

and flew to Detroit, and visited with Dr. J. And I am very very glad that I

did. He tested for things that my traditional medicine doc never would have (I

have major vitamin D deficiency, close to no HGH, cholesterols high despite

eating statins like m and m's --which I'm weaning off--, super low T,

normal/high estrogen, and due to traumatic events for the last 3 years my

corisone level was through the roof, causing reverse T3...all of these things

are being addressed).

Due to extra fat, gels didn't work for me well in the past (i would gain weight,

retain water, basically get very PMSy!)....so have been doing once weekly TRT

injections. Started off rough, but much easier now. I find it much better in the

rump vs. the thigh.

Anyway, my question; starting as soon as my meds arrive, I am going to begin

HCG 2x per week, and also another injection nightly...which equates to 10 shots

per week. I'm less than thrilled with all these pokes, but will do whatever it

takes to get my life back.

I want to avoid BRUISING with the subQ injections I'll be doing frequently. I

gave my mom and partner lovenox type injections subq 2x per day..and they were

left with bruising on their bellies..no matter how it was administered. Maybe

that was common with that medication, perhaps. BUT I would REALLY REALLY like

to avoid being black and blue if I can avoid it. Never bruised with the muscular

injections of T. So...any tips on HCG or other subQ injections to avoid

bruising (I would pinch an adequate fat roll, go at least 3 inches from belly

button, etc etc)...but they would always bruise.

Any tips on HCG injections...do you do belly or fatty part of thigh, or???

I welcome all input, and thank you.
