question from a user
Going to have blood done early Jan to check on E levels etc. have been doing IM injection on delts. Might take the suggestion and go subq. Have a bunch of 27 gauge 1/2” needles. will those work? Best location? Stomach?
AlphaMD's Answer
Those would work fine. Anywhere that it's easy to grip your body fat. For most men sitting down and using the stomach works great. You'd want to use variable locations each injection as possible before cycling back to the same spot.
