    I've been doing the injections for about 2 weeks and have lost 11 pounds. I inject in my stomach but I read on this forum that the injection should go into the muscle but where I am injecting is not muscle, its fat. Anyone know anything about this please give me your opinion.

    IM - Needle over 1" goes in the muscle. Subq - 1/2" needle goes in the fat.

    The doses are different. IM standard is 125iu - Subq standard is 200iu

    Though you'd need to put it in your arm with a 1" needle. That's pretty short for anywhere else unless you don't have as much fat on your thighs as I did. :-)

    I take 125iu and my needles are 1/2" long. That is the size that came in my kit. Im sorry but I am not understanding this. I would have to use a needle about 2" long to get to the muscle. The 1/2" needle might hit the muscle in my bicep muscle. Should I take it there? I didn't know that the iu's determined wheather the shot went in the muscle or the fat. Has anyone else used a 1/2" needle in the stonach and did you loose weight doing that?

    You are doing subcutaneous injections (subq), that means you are injecting in the fat rather than in the muscle.

    In order to get into the muscle you would need a 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch needle and you would inject in the thigh.

    What you have been doing is fine except that it is a low dose compared to the average in the fat dose. Yes there is a difference in the dosage. Having said that if it's working for you then that's fine as long as you aren't hungry. If you're hungry then you need to up your dose.

    If you are hungry and need to up your dose but don't know how to. Tell us how much water you mixed with how many iu's of hcg and we'll help you figure it out.
