if you are injecting HCG subcutaneously how large a volume can be used in one injection site at one time 1/4 ml,1/2 ml ??

1 ml or 1 cc(same thing) easily..that is the size of the insulin syringe used anyways.But i have sub q as much as 2 mls before of vit b12 injectable no problem..it will leave a small lump under the skin for a few hours.
