How to Inject Hormones Safely - Wash your hands!
- Clean the top of the bottle with alcohol (like a prep pad).
- Use a clean syringe. Fill the syringe with an amount of air equal to the amount of hormones you'll be taking (1cc of air for 1cc of hormones). This will make it easier to get the hormones out of the bottle.
- Push the needle into the bottle, turning the bottle upside down. Then push the plunger in so that the air in the syringe goes into the bottle. Pull the plunger back until the rubber part of the plunger lines up with the right mark for your dosage on the syringe.
- Pull the needle out of the bottle. (If you use a bigger needle to draw out, then pull the plunger back a bit to get the hormones out of the needle. Take off the big needle and put the smaller one on now.) Tap the syringe to make any air bubbles go to the top. Push out all of the air until a small bead of hormones forms on the tip of the needle.
- Choose your injection site. If you inject into your thigh, do it in the front, between your hip and knee. If you inject into your butt, divide each butt cheek into four sections. Inject in the upper outer sections only.
