    just shot into a vein!

    i think i just shot into a vein. as soon as i realized that i didnt pull the plunger back to check for air, i started coughing and getting all nervous. well now that thats over, does it waste the shot when you shoot into a vein?

    doubt you really did. blood would rush in the syringe even if you didnt pull back. you may have passed through one.

    There may have been a minimal amount that was introduced into the blood stream bro. Once it enters the blood stream it goes to the heart and then into the lungs. The coughing that you expirienced is the body's natural reaction to eliminate the foreign substance. Its happened to me several times. I always try to inject very slowly and if I start to cough(usually on inspiration)thats when I know that I barely passed through a vein and I'm gonna have to rejab. Always aspirate before injecting.

    If you inject too fast that can cause the coughing. The insert in Testoviron specifically says to use a slow injection to avoid coughing... FYI...

    If it was a vein you would see blood come back up in the pin and you may get light headed and/or nautious...
