OK, spoke with nurse friend about IM
So, I was telling her about my owie, owie B-12, and she said, "B-12 shots HURT badly!" She also reassured me that the smaller volume of liquid in my hcg shot would make a difference in comfort.
Also, she suggested I try my deltoid muscle at the top of my arm with a 1" needle. I had some slip tips left with 1" 30g that I had planned on using for my sublingual round. Those needles were thinner than my 28g 1/2 SQ needles even so I did not stand there for 15 minutes working up courage like yesterday.
I did a 140iu shot with .4ccs with hardly any discomfort- a touch at the end of the plunge not any more than some of my SQ!
So, I guess I'll be IM for the rest of this round. Yay.
We'll see if this IM method improves my losses. I had a gain today which I have had one gain day in each round right around this time amazingly. I was lazy with weighing my shrimp yesterday, and I did not add up my cals. I suspect I probably went over 500, or it could have been some fat free beef broth I had with extra salt I added that put on some water weight for me.

b-12 shots do hurt alot, i remember the first time i got a b12 shot and i almost screamed when they put the needle, i still think the guy that did it might have done it wrong because ive had shots since and it has not hurt nearly as much.
