    DAY 1! Injection started...please read/help!

    Hello HCG Family!
    I finally got my HCG in mail and started day 1 today! I applied the shot on my stomach, however, it did bleed a little and I felt pain, burning, during and still now, 15 minutes after. I am wondering if this sensation is normal? Should I change to different spot? I would really appreciate your input as I am little paranoid now...thank you so much and I can't wait to see my results VERY SOON!

    A few questions:
    What size needle are you using? For the subq method (tummy poking), it should be the itty bitty needles like diabetics use. That makes the smallest hole. So, less chance of bleeding.

    Did you wipe your tummy down well with an alcohol pad? Did you let it dry all the way? I've found that the only time I get the burning is when I've accidentally gotten some of the alcohol into the injection site. (And, yes, it burned/ached for about 1/2 hour after!)

    Make sure you're at least two inches away from your belly button, I try to do my jab into the "fattiest" part of my belly. I also jab a different spot every day - just sort of alternating sides.

    Sometimes you will bleed a bit, most of the time you shouldn't. At least, that's my experience.

    Here are some instructions on how to inject:

    How do I inject the HCG?
    • Choose your injection site.
    • Make sure the area is clean. You may clean the area with alcohol or soap and water. If alcohol is used, let it dry on the skin before injecting. This will help prevent a stinging feeling, and will help kill germs on the skin. Use 70 percent alcohol if possible, because it is a better germ killer than 90 percent alcohol.
    • Pinch the skin and fat tissue between your thumb and first finger.( I find this works great!)
    • Touch the needle to the skin, holding the syringe at a 90 degree angle. Push the needle all the way into the skin. If the needle is not in far enough, the HCG may not be injected into the fatty layer.
    • Let go of the pinched tissue before injecting the HCG or you will be squeezing the HCG out at the same time you are trying to inject it.
    • Press the plunger using a slow and steady push.
    • Count slowly to five before removing the needle. This will help prevent HCG from leaking out of the injection site.
    • Pull out the needle and place a finger or alcohol pad over the site. Hold for a few seconds and then rub the site gently to close the needle track. Sometimes there is a small amount of bleeding after the injection. This does not cause a problem except for the possible loss of HCG with the blood.
    • Throw away used needles and syringes safely in a hard container that the needles cannot stick through.

    Ideas to help decrease pain when injecting HCG:
    • Inject HCG at room temperature.
    • Remove all air bubbles from the syringe before the injection.
    • If skin was cleaned with alcohol, wait until it has dried before injecting.
    • Avoid changing the direction of the needle during insertion or removal.
    • Do not reuse disposable needles.

    another thing I noticed for me was that some spots were just more sensitive than others. If I lightly poked, and it felt painful, I'd select a different spot and often times felt no pain at all.
