what about the bubble thing, getting to your heart and killing you? is all IGF injections or are some oral?
Good question.
Yes, a bolus (bubble) would kill you. But you can avoid that by being careful.
Supra quoted his friend saying "Check with your urologist regarding safety about injecting in the cc and cs in the penis, if you want the maximum amount of proliferation/hyperplasia of cells(growth) in this area."
Good advice.
Supra, did you inject into the corpus cavernosum (CC) this time, or just subcutaneously?
In general, you want to make sure your injection has no air bubbles and that you do not inject into a vein. To prevent air bubbles, you have to inspect the syringe after you draw the contents from the vial, and if there are any bubbles, squirt them out so that there are none left, then do the injection.
Flicking a finger against the syringe with the needle pointed up can help
gather any bubbles at the top so you can "squeeze" them out.
Avoiding veins is not so easy (well, if you penis is vascular and veiny, it should be easy to avoid the obvious ones on the surface), but if you have a doctor or nurse show you how, or you study the diagrams Supra linked to well, you should be ok. But, it is risky. If you have a bodybuilder friend that shoots AS, he could also be a resource to check with first (might be easier to ask than a doctor or nurse, who will wonder why you're asking).
One way to make sure you did not enter a vein, is to first, after you insert the needle, *gently* try to pull out on the syringe. If you hit a vein, blood would easily enter the syringe. If you did not hit a vein, the vacuum that exists would make it hard to pull the syringe out (which is what you want).
