Watch video on vial coring prevention (coring = damaging rubber stopper so rubber bits contaminates the vial)

YouTube link

Common/Preferred subcutaneous injection sites for Estrogen:

• Tummy.
  Around navel.
  Two or more inches away from the navel (right or left side works).
• Thighs.
  Front side, slightly outer.
  
• Butt.
  Above crack, outer side of butt.
  

If you have a friend injecting you, butt would be a good choice.
If you are doing it on your own, tummy or thighs would work.

If using Estradiol enanthate 10ml (50mg/ml), inject once a week.
About 0.08ml each injection. The vial should last for about 120 injections.
(If using EE 40mg/ml, it would be about 0.1ml each injection)

Put on your table:

• A syringe
