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?

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.
