Nervous about injecting for the first time!
Hi bros,
I've only ever ran oral gear before and I've got to a stage now where I want to run HGH, so I managed to acquire some Genotropin pens. Now I've read a lot about injecting and how to do it. It seems pretty simple, I've seen many of my friends inject on a regular basis, yet I'm still nervous. I plan on starting a cycle of Genotropin HGH tomorrow.
The things that worry me the most is the fact that these pens aren't able to aspirate that's why DR's say subq inject only. However, I've read online that you should still aspirate even when subq injecting due to the fact that you can still hit a vessel subq injecting, is this the truth? I've read horror stories about people injecting into a vessel and ending up in hospital, it worries me that there could be a chance that I could hit a vessel because I can't aspirate with these pens, can someone shed some experienced light here? I know it's probably me missing something or being paranoid.
Also is it going to sting? My friend injects hygetropin on a daily basis and he said it stings like a b*tch, will my pens sting? I thought children were supposed to use these things?
Also what's the absolute worst that could happen if I do something wrong while subq injecting? I know I sound like abit of a p*ssy but I'm just a cautious guy.
Thanks in advance bros.

Hello all, I am 45 now been on low dose test
For 2 years 1cc every 2 weeks from my doc. I've been researching eroids and other forums for months about HGH. I have some on the way (I hope).
Any info on best plan would be helpful.
I'm going to get all my levels checked soon.
you sound just like me a month ago. i'm really cautious too and asked my source so many questions (being paranoid about how legit the gear is), that I think I pissed him off a bit! haha..
anyway, it doesn't really hurt too much. but for me, I think it hurts a little more than most guys. i'm not that big and hardly have any fat on my body to inject into.
the first 2 times I did it, I was afraid to go deep and that's a big mistake. it caused a big bruise that lasted like 2 1/2 weeks and really painful at that spot. since then, I've made sure to insert the needle nice and deep (sub-q) and everything's been fine.
as far as dose, I felt it big time, even on just 1IU. so sleepy/ tired and dizziness/ headaches that it was hard to concentrate and function. I would suggest going low first and seeing how your body reacts before upping the dosage.
good luck.
FR sent. I'm on the same boat...
good to know I'm not alone. I knew I wasn't imagining it! felt really uncomfortable/ weird. my source said he's never heard of anything like it...
ryohayabusa360Ripped4Life have you done it?
it's painless think about all the diabetic people who inject daily several times at day without issues...
It does not hurt at all... Using a pen is so easy a kid can do it (and they do).
Don't worry about aspirating when using a pen.
The worst that could happen? Maybe your absorption rate will be off.

Ripped4LifeBest answer yet, I will inject tomorrow and see how it goes.
Since you seem pretty knowledgeable and tolerable to noobs like me, can you give me advice on what you think about HGH blasting? Especially with pharma grade, I don't know whether to start blasting tomorrow or not, I've only 3 pens (36iu) this month and want to blast them but I'm not sure if the sides will be too much to handle as I'll be going from 0ius/day to a lot of ius/day, but I'll only be blasting for around a week, so I'm not sure if the sides will kick in that fast, what do you think bro?
What do you mean by blasting?
I'd start off with 2 IU's the first week and go upto 4 after that. (2 IU's is about .6 mg on the pen i believe)
if you have no unbearable sides you can try going up another 2 IU's
Keep in mind, hgh works slowly --over the long haul. you will not be getting your money's worth if you "blast" a high dose over a week or a few short weeks.
I'd take the total IU's you plan on using and maximize it for the life of your cycle. 3 pens will only last you a month at 4 IU's per day.

Ripped4LifeBy blasting I mean running it for a week every month at high doses like 10ius + ED. It's been tried and tested on a few boards and it seemed pretty successful. I was just wondering what your opinion on it was?
Thanks for all the help so far, FR accepted.
My take is you'd get better results using a smaller 4 - 6 IU ED than blasting a high dose for a short week.
I don't have any experience in the matter -that is just an opinion.
That being said, this being your first time, I'd go slow. Start with 2 IU's the first week and bump it up 2 IU's each week. You'll be able to listen to your body and slowly get to adjust to any sides and back off accordingly. Last thing you'd want is to have a bunch of unexpected sides, headaches, sleeplessness, high BP, bloat, carpal tunnel, numb feeling in your arms and legs, etc...
Save the "blast" for another month.
I'm sure you wouldn't jump into the cockpit of an F-15 without first learning how to fly a Piper Cub
It's gonna bleed and hurt like hell & you gonna end up in the hospital with doctors asking"what happened" & what are you gonna tell them??? don't do it....
Lmao, this is coming from me(pinning everyday twice with 23g 1 & half needle) enjoy the ride hommie and hope you don't end up with and stupid "Oral ONLY" cycle...
Ripped4LifeHaha lol
I guess I'm being a little paranoid. I was also planning to blast these pens as I've heard some pretty good things about blasting HGH but I'm worried that from 0ius/day to a lot of ius/day will cause unbearable sides. I don't want to waste the pens by running them at a low dosages yet I don't want extreme sides. Have you ever tried blasting HGH bro?
I don't have that kind of cash to spend on HGH, only AAS & ASS lol
Ripped4LifeOh right lol, well thanks anyway bro, appreciate your input
There is a lot of great info out there for proper IM injections. Almost every anti-aging HRT clinic has either a video or written step by step directions posted online. Also youtube has a bunch, the more you know about it hopefully the less you'll fear it. Practice on an orange, I heard people do that. good luck.
Ripped4LifeThanks bro but as far as I'm aware you can't IM inject these pens as they can't be aspirated with. That's why on the box it says subq only. So I'm just a bit worried that I might hit a vessel subq injecting.
Then dont do it
Ripped4LifeBut then I'd be given up before I've even started.
Sirk1981If you are that nervous, hold off. I know this is not what you want to hear.
Ripped4LifeI've thought about that bro but then I'd just be postponing the fear, I've got to inject sooner or later, I want to go for it tomorrow, I just want to see what some users have to say about my questions, hopefully someone can clear a few things up for me bro.
