Needle Size and Length for Test/Cyp IM Input.

[ratdog]

My new doc says I can inject myself in the gluteal muscle (butt cheek) with test/cyp with a needle as small as 21 ga and as short as 1/2 inch.
I want to inject at home so I can give a lower dose but more often so I do not have as many peaks any valleys. My problem, I can't find that gauge in that length. I'll even go for 5/8" if I have too, all I can find is 1 inch and 1 1/2. What needles are you guys using?

23g and 1.5 inch

1/2" seems awfully short for the glute, i just started and am using 22g 5/8" into my quad.

1 1/2" should do the job in the glute...

Tractor supply sells 1.5 inch needles.The ones i have are 22g

23G, one inch should be fine.

wow, you all are using a really high gauge (large size), that crap would hurt. I've been using 25g for about a year and have no problems or pain.

I am using 25ga in 5/8 and 1" but i do delts and quads only.

It don't hurt at all. My wife does the shots for me. Did the thigh today for the 1st time. No pain there either.

I started out on 20x1 harpoons for the first couple months, now I used 23x1. Always inject into my thighs, never had an issue with pain, only occasionally hitting a nerve causing my muscle to start jumping haha

the past 6 weeks I've been using insulin pins the thigh with no problems.. I draw it up with a 18g and backload the insulin. I use BD 30g 1/2 inch. Keep in mind I only shoot 1/2 cc of cyp. If I had to inject a full cc I would instead us a 25g 1inch in the glutes.
