I’m having one heck of a time using the syringe (w/ small needle) to “draw up” the compounded medicine from the vial.
There is about a mL of medication (liquid) left in the vial (I now have 3 vials). I never seem to be able to draw enough liquid into the syringe. I saw a YouTube video where the administrator uses a longer needle and then switches it to the shorter one for injection. Can someone tell me what size needles I should get for doing this? I hate to waste even a drop of this stuff! Please help!

I’ve been on HRT x menopause for over a year. I use estradiol patches, but they leave me with welts, marks and I itch at the site incessantly. Is this common? Normal?

My food noise is real and constant!

Another question…

There is such a small amount in the vile I was sent. How do I get the medicine into the syringe? Do I need to have longer needles? Do I need separate needles for drawing the medication and then a shorter one for injection?

I’m starting ozempic and am very nervous about the needle, etc…
Where and how do I inject it? Any tips are appreciated
