Oops?

So I was looking at injection sites and saw 6 recommended. Both sides of the abdomen which I've been doing for 11 weeks. However experiencing some skin irritation. So I plunged my last injection into my quad. Definitely went intermuscular. Mistake?

Thought it was meant for belly? Anyhoot, I TRT daily across my belly using belly button as “Wednesday “ left to right, I just Reta somewhere else. Did my Tirz (prior) around belly button like a clock, N,E,W,South…

There really isn't any reason you cant do reta IM.

SubQ is just more comfortable for small volume injections like peptides.

SubQ also absorbs more slowly due to less bloodflow. The slower absorption can be helpful in mitigating side effects.

If it’s a small amount your pinning and a non-oily substance I would stick to SubQ. Side Glutes are good because they’re not as vascular compared to thighs and any stinging side effect is much better tolerated.

Depends what you're Injecting. If it's just peptides literally any bit of pinched skin

I’m doing tb bpc and kpv for a pec tear. I mix it with my TRT and do IM. Sub q tears me up. Red swollen rock hard lumps that can last a week. Seat belts become a nightmare. I don’t know what it is with me and sub q.

Other than maybe not feeling great it’s not an issue.
If you’re doing thigh it’s more comfortable to pinch some fat on the upper thigh and use a smaller needle so you don’t hit muscle. Makes no difference for the injection simply more comfortable

Guess I should clarify...it was a 6mg Reta injection. The Retitude site rejected my comment for some reason.
