Best area to apply hcg shots

by LadyHope, Mar 15, 2007 12:00AM
I need some clarification. I did some research and found that since HCG is a hormone, the best way to apply to work its best it would be by intra muscular injections, for best absorbtion and effect overall. However, I have read in a few sites that some doctors apply on the stomach - which in most cases because of the thickness of fat tissues in that area most likely will not reach the muscle, so basically the medicine is released over the fat tissue. So I am confused! I would like feedback from people who have been undergoing the hcg shots... Help please!!!

I just started on my diet and the doctor recommended 2 places. Upper arm or upper thigh. It needs to reach the muscle. It's not recommended to give to your belly because it will never reach the muscle.
