and now I keep getting big lumps on my skin :( the process hurts a lot less but I still have a lump from my injection before last. I followed any advice I could find on avoiding this and still got another lump from my most recent injection. so lame.
Is it where the carrier oil is collecting?
I’ve been doing subq on my abdomen since I switched to EEN.
I basically go in smoothly but calmly, holding it kinda like a psycho knife at 90 degrees.
Then slowly inject counting 20-30 seconds, then leave the needle in for a further 10-15 seconds.
YMMV but for me this reduced leakage and bleeding and also means the oil spreads a bit more so u get less of that stingy lump.
I don’t always get it perfect but it’s way less painful than the first few times I did it.
You should inject slowly. It takes me over 60 seconds to inject 0.6ml but I never get lumps.
god I do NOT envy doods, literally 6x the amount of liquid 😖
I prefer higher doses. I’m willing to bet the average trans man is taking half my dose weekly. 150mg would be sacrilegious to a doctor, but they’re cucks anyway.
Lowkey injecting is fun.
holy malebrained reply, i almost pile every single time and I am using insulin needles
Can’t go wrong with insulin needles. HRT is just tranny insulin anyway

nah it’s deep in there and takes like a day and a half to show up. I am definitely injecting deep enough.

kk will try, I at least had no leakage last time so I am feeling decently confident atp.

same, i think i’m allergic to benzyl benzoate. sometimes my injection sites become sore for a few days too, but not necessarily after the injection, just randomly. but I haven’t had the chance to try a benzyl benzoate free vial or IM needles yet so idk. I know IM leads to weaker allergic reaction as opposed to subQ if you’re allergic to the solvent or carrier oil, so this is probably also the case with you.
