Quick Tips for Injections

According to Stealth Bros & Co, provider of luxury medical storage options for transmasculine folks, “...going slow isn’t the answer [to a painless injection]. To reduce pain inject fast at a 90 degree angle for IM [injections] and a 45 degree angle for SubQ”

I like to say “quick jab ain’t that bad; slow poke ain’t a joke”

are there any other rail-thin-ass transmascs out there who struggle with subcutaneous shots. I dont fucking have enough body fat and the fat I Do have has redistributed to a thinner covering over harder to reach areas and I cant fucking do my shots any more. do any of you have advice. "gain more weight" is not viable for me due to health and circumstance (believe me I've FUCKING tried)

lovely humans on t injections, do you do them into muscle or subcutaneously? if you've tried both, did you notice much of a difference?

[swarnpert]

hey out of concern and curiosity (& if this isn’t smth u feel comfortable answering pls ignore me) how were u doing ur t-shot wrong?? Are you okay???

oh yeah i'm fine. mostly just i've been doing my shot like right in my buttcheek instead of more on the side of my butt because i'm super grossed out by needles going into people so i couldn't bear to see it. also using the same needle to draw and inject (the doctor who originally prescribed me hormones was just an endocrinologist instead of a physician who worked with/specialized in hormones for trans people). also didn't know the proper way to draw the hormones (i did make sure there were no air bubbles, wasn't being that stupid). i also didn't know you were supposed to disinfect the vial either! but yknow it still worked for me so i didn't question it for like 5 years

Took my first dose of T today!!

Genuinely thought I would hate injecting myself, but I didn’t feel that shit one bit 😭 the only problem is that my eyes are a little bad so I didn’t realize it was all injected for a moment

PSA for trans people, trans mascs and fems, and enbies & intersex folks on T or E injections (or injections in general):

Your injections should AT WORST feel like a hard pinch if you hit a vein on accident. It should NOT sting the whole time, itch, be tender for more than a day, and should not cause significant bruising. (Edit!: This is the weekly injections, the monthly or longer lasting injections are sore for a while because the liquid is THICC.)

I was not told this when I started, and missed that I was allergic to my shots for the first 2 months I was on T. There is more than one type of carrier oil, and the type of T they prescribe most often is more likely to have allergic reactions (cypionate with cottonseed oil). You should not have to suffer more just to get your gender juice. You can also gain allergies over time, so if you start experiencing these symptoms, check in with your doctor!

(Another Edit: PLEASE talk to your doctor before assuming stuff, I'm just a guy on the internet trying to make sure that y'all have more info.)

Tips for less painful/irritated injections I've gotten from people (all anecdotal, again, check with your doc):

-Intramuscular injections are usually less likely to be irritated than subcutaneous ones.

-Rub VERY hard with your alcohol wipe before injecting to numb up the skin a little bit.

-Make sure to rub the vial between your hands to warm it before using the draw up needle. It makes the fluid less thick, so it’s less painful to inject.

(I'll add more if people share)

You know what I think about from time to time?

Donnie didn’t just “place” trackers on his brothers. No. The trackers were placed subcutaneously.

Subcutaneous is a medical term that describes the route of administration. "Sub-" means "under" and "cutaneous" means "skin."

Therefore, a "subcutaneous tracker," by definition, is a tracker placed just under the skin.

Placing a subcutaneous tracker would require either a large/thick hypodermic needle or a scalpel to make an incision, the latter requiring a stitch or two to close the wound.

...Regardless of the method, the conclusion is the same.

At some arbitrary point, Donnie either injected a large needle into or performed minor surgery on each individual brother in order to place a tracker under their skin. …and they had no clue.
