Not sure if I’m pinning into the muscle or not (test e)...

[Nameless15]

This is the start of my second week of test e at 500mg per week. The standard two pins a week at 250mg in the glutes “Problem” is I dont seem to have any pip and I genuinely can’t tell if I’m in the muscle or not. I’ve looked into it and no one seems to mention if there’s a distinct feeling when you hit the muscle with the needle. Today I tried to get the needle pressed up against the skin as much as possible to the point where the needle is compressing the area in wards. Felt a little different. With a sharper ish feeling so now I’m worried I wasted my first two pins when because I only pushed the needle until it was flush with my skin, I didn’t push against my skin. I’m using a 1.5”

If it's in your body you'll absorb it. Subcutaneous vs intra-muscular affects absorption rates.

If you're using a 1.5", you're definitely in the muscle.

This. I get less pip with the longer pins in the glutes. Most time I get none. Doesn’t mean you’re not in the muscle

Well I guess I’m just lucky with no pip? Haha good to know. Is there any signs you might have done subq though? My friend had told me if I did it subq I would get a big bump of fluid....

Youre injecting 1ml of oil, youd have to be very near the skin surface to experience a big bump of fluid.

Unless you intentionally injected a large amount of fluid sub q I doubt you’d get a large bump. I think you’re over analyzing all this. Use 1”-1.5” pins for your glutes and you’ll be fine
