I do a 1" 23g needle, and it goes all the way into my thigh.
I take my thigh and imagine a DnD alignment grid on it. If I'm injecting into my right leg, I inject into chaotic neutral. If left leg, lawful neutral. I do this z-track method thing and it helps me bleed a lot less. https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/what-is-the-z-track-injection-method
I still suck at doing left leg so it kinda hurts sometimes. But the process is simple.
Oh really? For some reason I was worried I'd have to like, gauge the depth or something. I guess I'm thinking of how IV looks hard.
Is there a danger of hitting a nerve?
I've poked some very uncomfortable things before. You just go slow, back out a little if you hit something that hurts. There are very few large blood vessels in that part of the leg, so I rarely bleed much. And if I do, it looks scary but it's fine.
Also like, sometimes the needle doesn't go "all the way" in and it's fine. Thighs are meaty and there's a bit of freedom as to where it ends up.
Thank you for all the information, I feel way better about hrt now.
