Maybe I did, but at least no calculations required! 😛
First shot of GHK-cu & KPV

😂🤣😅🤣😂🤣
mine feels more like a sting then a burn about 30mins after pinning that lasts for about 16hrs

I have absolutely no reaction to either my GHK-cu/KPV homebrew or just the KPV I pin in the morning. Feels just like Reta to me.
The GH secretagogues, on the other hand, are fiercely itchy and uncomfortable little SOBs!
so from this post you are one of the lucky ones do you mix with more bac water?
this was the post i was reading
Dilute more than you think you need. I take 5 mg of GHK-Cu as part of a KLOW stack in 1ml total volume. More fluid means fewer copper ions hitting any single area, and it brings pH and osmolality closer to the physiological range.- Inject into fattier tissue. I use my love handles because they contain fewer nerve endings and provide more space for the bolus to absorb without pressure buildup.- Slow your injection down to 15 to 20 seconds (or longer). This lets tissue expand gradually rather than forcing fluid in and causing micro-tears.- Let the syringe reach room temperature. Cold fluid is more viscous and can create what some people call "thermal shock" against warm tissue.- Pair with BPC-157. The KLOW stack already contains it, and its anti-inflammatory properties may buffer the local reaction from copper ions.- Rotate your injection sites. Hitting the same spot repeatedly creates scar tissue and chronic irritation. Cycle between abdomen, thighs, and glutes.Have you experienced the GHK-Cu sting? What have you done to mitigate the pain? Or are you one of those lucky folks who are blessed with pain-free GHK-Cu injections?
And did 😹
I knew you would. but If I did not say that out loud this forum would EAT ME ALIVE as they should.
Nice. im going to try this.

I may be one of the lucky ones? I really don't know!
I recon 100 mg GHK-cu (maybe 100 mg, no COA for GHK-cu from ERP but I decided to roll the dice anyway) in a total of 6 ml of BAC. So my GHK is at 16.667 mg/ml, or maybe as high as 33.2 mg/ml depending on the overfill of the vial. It seriously is the most pleasant pin I do.
I do rotate around abdomen, love handle, and I just tried fat immediately over the left hip last night just to see.
Other than that, I do nothing. No lidocaine cream, no massager, no ice, no antihistamines, nothing.
It doesn't bother my wife either. She always takes the pin in the glutes.

I am very much hoping I'll be lucky, too!
I've got my GHK-cu kit in the freezer waiting to try it after I get back from my trip in March. I know, weeeeeeks away, but between now and my trip I'm really focusing on my tirz+reta situation as I check day by day/week by week how I adjust it to maximize fat burning. I've also got MOTS-c to try after it. I just prefer to not add anything new to the T+R protocol as I'm def feeling some sides from the reta and want to minimize any physical discomfort so I can keep up with work, and workouts, without added sides. But when I get back, I'll be playing with the GHK-cu, MOTS-c and Semax. Can't wait! [laughs nervously]

For those of you that get a pain reactions, try finding different locations to pin.
If I do my Abs, I hurt for up to 18 hours.
If I do love handles, upper thighs or buttocks, I am golden.
Extra dilution helped me, but location meant everything

I would like to add:
Move the needle along your skin (I prefer my Love handles), when you start to pin, if it hurts, stop, move to another location, it should not hurt.
Next, go purchase a massage vibrator gun,
like that thing. I use the flat head. Massage the injection site for about 5 minutes. This will help disperse the peptide under the skin.
Pain free ever since.
I pin GHK-Cu everyday.

Third shot down. Holy freaking hell it burned so damn bad. Like injecting lava. So far no nausea, but man how am I supposed to handle this daily. I’ve got like 28 tattoos and birthed children and that took me to my knees.
I did get some Benadryl liquid caps to have on hand.

Please try some of the suggestions -- massage gun, lidocaine cream, etc.
And you may want to reconsider this if it is this bad.
In the Anela GLOW protocol, she says to do all the above and to also divide the pin up into 3 separate mini-pins, all within the same square inch, and then hit the site with a vibrator gun to massage it, which dissipates the peptides. If that doesn't work, she says to use a lidocaine cream right after the pins. Apparently, breaking up the shot into multiple areas close to each other reduces the histamine reaction overall, it's just multiple pins, which a lot of people don't want to do. I'm going to try 2 mini pins when I start in a week or so and go from there.
I used a numbing wipe before the shot. I didn’t even feel the needle go in. It’s when the ghk-cu hit me the burn happened. It went away quickly and I did what someone suggested and laid down right after.
We are snowed in right now so I will look at the massage gun when I can. Thanks!

Please let us know how you're doing.
I am doing good. Bored and stuck in the house second weekend in a row. We got a lot of snow for where I live.
My husband said we have a massage gun somewhere. I watched several videos of people backfilling insulin needles so I think I know where I went wrong last time. I’m gonna add the KPV to the GHK-cu tonight and see what happens.
fourth shot. There is like no continuity between these 😂. Went in just fine and didn’t burn. I think I injected too low last night. More waist than flank. I also have a tattoo there so there might have been some scarring under the skin.

One thing is placement, but also depth. I went from 5mm to 8mm 30ga and it was noticeably better, but I still get the sting a few hours later that mostly goes away (with KPV) after a day or so. I alternate sides for that reason.

Glad to hear. Hope you're free of the snow soon. It's not budging here.
Looks like Mr Hitachi's Magic Wand may have a new job to do. 🫣

Lot's of good advice so far, and I can only echo it.
If I do my abs, I burn for 18 hours and itch for days.
Love handles, upper thighs ( the fat you can pinch when you sit) and I am golden.
I also usually double pin to disperse it about 1/2 apart.
Also, dilute it a bit more and perhaps adjust your dosage down a bit.
You can do a lot with only 1mg of GHK-cu

I'm sorry you all have to go through this!
If I'm feeling especially sore or tweaked something I'll double up on the GHK-cu in the evening (so anywhere from 4 - 8 mg on that pin, depending on how overfilled that vial was) and it is still the most pleasant pin I have.
I'm glad you're feeling better and that there's stuff that helps everyone!

Fifth shot down. I’ve been letting my injection site get really numb first. Went in easy peasey tonight. Little ‘warmth’ afterwards but nothing too spicy.
Thank you to everyone for replying with support and suggestions. 💜

I tried to backfill once. Disaster.
I just man up and use a blunt needle if I’m drawing up two or more compatible peptides in the one pin.

I tried it again last night with my husband helping and we ended up with empty vials 🤣 Maybe I will just enjoy blunt needles also. 😆
