A long time ago I was watching ->-bleeped-<-girl15 talk about how her doctor said she could inject with insulin syringes into the belly and it would be just as good as an injection into the muscle, so for some time now I've been doing that.. Is this true? I am finally going to an endocrinologist on Thursday.. But I am curious on thoughts anyways. Must they be injected into the muscle, is there a reason for it?
Is there a reason why subcutaneous would not be as good etc..
Thanks!
Considering the carrier oil used it would take just about forever to use insulin syringe/needles. She's probably not telling the whole truth about something.

I wouldn't be so sure. 1ml syringes are much easier to apply pressure to than larger syringes. In other words, injecting 1ml from a 1ml syringe is much easier than 1ml of the same liquid from a 3ml syringe.
As for the question at hand, it 'probably' doesn't make much difference. I can't see any good reason to do it subcutaneously though. Personally I wouldn't.
we ran out of my 3ml syringes last week, and my dose is tonight, I get paid tomorrow. went to the pharmacy and got a 1ml syringe, 25ga instead of my usual 21.5 ga.....well, the actual injection of the EV was perfect upper arm. however, the withdrawl from vial into the syringe to fill it sucked. im buying a bulk supply of my 3ml tomorrow on pay day. the 1ml 25 gauge needles are a pain to get to fill due to the viscosity of estradiol valerate. just my two cents.
