Correct needle procedure

Hi all, apologies for the very basic question, I'm moreso seeing if my prior research/knowledge is correct. I recently (~5 mins ago) got my package of intramuscular Testosterone Cypionate and am looking for a good in-depth guide on how to inject it! Any advice can be anecdotal, I appreciate all the help I can get, video guides would be excellent as I learn best from visuals.

AFAIK the method is to use an alcohol wipe on your thigh, then another on the lid of the container, stick it with the needle and draw your dose, then stick it perpendicularly into your thigh after removing any air bubbles and before you commit to the injection pull back on the plunger to check for a flash of blood. However, I've got this nasty habit of second guessing myself, so I'm a little worried. I'd rather not pump 50mg of testosterone directly into my bloodstream!

Thanks!

wipe top of the vial with alcohol swab
attach drawing needle
draw the oil
swap to needle for injection
wipe your injection site, wait for it to dry
poke your muscle with needle
aspirate if you wanna
push oil in, slowly, after you are done, leave needle in for 10-15 seconds
pull needle out

thank you so much! Do you leave the needle in to prevent leakage or is there a different reason?

yea something like that. the idea is to push oil slowly so it has time to slowly leak into muscle, ive read somewhere that if you push too fast pil can go up by the hole you just made. also probably less pip.

same idea with leaving needle in for while. this way i dont have single drop of oil outside.
 
Also, I second guessed myself for the first couple weeks and got an auto injector. It’s nice those first few weeks that way you can just press a button and it shoots it in very fast. Just cough as you hit it and won’t feel a thing. I only used it at first to ease myself into it and now I prefer to just inject in a slower controlled method. Not really a fan of darting it in.

did it help you to overcome "fear" of poking yourself with needle?

i got it also. i struggled from beggining with every single shot, most of the time some friend pinned me. once i got panic attack, i froze in kitched standing ready to pin and couldnt do it since. so i bought that injector and its so good. cant feel anything at all. super easy
 
As baba said it’s procedure.
And like he said use a new needle to inject. The first needle for drawing will be blunt by pushing it in the vial. And you’ll find it much easier to push trough your skin. And by doing so you’ll overcome your fear

Yea it really helped me. I had a needle phobia when starting. My first injection consisted of 30 minutes of me giving count downs and backing off as the needle got close to my skin lol. My second injection I nearly passed out while the needle was still in. Felt like my vision was slowly fading and couldn’t hear anything. I had to sit down for a couple minutes afterwords. Obviously it was all just in my head but that autoinjector really did help me get in the mindset of just treating it like any other step in getting ready for the day.

same here mate. i did mistake that friends pinned me from start for quite while. first time i almost passed out, i had to lay down on couch for 10min cause i was sick. 0 pain or anything bad but it was mentally awful.

will see maybe i will ditch injector after but so far its great. i have friend that is using gear for 6-7 years? i think, he recently bought same injector cause even after years he still has issues with it and if there is someone nearby, he rather let them pim him. i guess its different for everybody.

i got used to subq shots no problem, peptides, hgh, humira pen etc but IM shots i need that injector still...

If you wanna aspirate, keep in mind leaving a little air bubble in the syringe makes it easier to pull the plunger back.
