What to do when oil escapes skin after pin?

**SomeLiveForTheBill** · 11-09-2010, 08:48 AM

So I shot 1.5 cc of 1:1 test prop:grapeseed oil in the delt this morning. I've pinned shoulders several times before. Used 23 g 1 incher. Aspirated and was g2g. When I pull out a little blood begins dribbling out. I noticed oil with it. A couple days ago I shot .5 cc HCG in this delt. I pinned this morning near the same spot. Surely this is not the hcg water. Anyway, it's normal for me to see a little oil emerge from the injection point after a delt injection. My delts are very lean. Injection was done properly as far as I know. One inch IM, slow push on plunger. What do you guys do when this happens? Do you re-pin with a little test to replace the oil you lost? This morning I probably lost half the oil. I did try to contain it with a sterile alcohol pad but it kept flowing out slowly. Was pretty pissed.

NO...no need to re pin..best thing is to cover injection spot immedietly after injecting...if you can almost simultaneously...with slight pressure..

Like BigMax said, no need to re-pin. You probably lost almost nothing, and it won't effect your cycle at all.

In the future you can try using the Z-track method,

and especially in delts and quads, I like to leave the pin in for a few second after all the oil has been injected.

^ please dont do that ^

Half the oil leaked out? No ****ing way. That would be absurd. You probably lost a few drops, so don't worry about it. Honestly, I just wash my hands before, then use my thumb to put a bit of pressure on the spot after I remove the needle. An alcohol soaked cotton pad isn't going to plug the hole and stop the bleeding/oil leaking as quickly as your thumb will.

There was a good amount of oil that seeped out. It left a trail almost down to my elbow. Dosage was 75 mg of prop. I'm thinking about doing another 25 mg this afternoon just to make sure. Cycle results thus far have been off the charts!! I'm one month into a prop/var cycle.

Load up another pin... LOL jk, just when you see it leak out start putting pressure on it.

I gotta admit tho, it really pisses me the **** off when it does that.

don't waste your prop- another 25mg? you probably didn't lose that much- just wait till your next pin. what are you doing 75eod?

**SomeLiveForTheBill** · 11-09-2010, 11:42 AM

75 mg ED is the dose. Love the results so that's why I'm pinning 25 mg this afternoon. From what I saw, there is a decent chance nearly 25 mg was lost. Normally even when I see blood after a pin, I see no oil. The shit just kept a flowin this morning. I was super pissed.

always a little more tricky anywhere except quad, because you have to reach around, but z-track has been suggested... or even just stretch the skin out (not to the side, just make it taught), then after, massage it around a little, which will move some subq over the oil deposit in the muscle.

*i try to avoid my tattoo on my left leg (probably urban legend, but i don't wanna push ink down into my muscle or something). so i pin a spot different than my right quad. the place that i do my left seems to have fluid follow the needle out as i pull out. even if it bleeds a bit, i pull the skin off the the side and massage a bit so that everything stays under the skin. it's like an opposite ztrack

Already pinned 25 mg more. I hope I'm not ****ing things up. lol I guess we'll see. Let's say I got 60 mg this morning? Then 25 mg this afternoon. 85 mg shouldn't throw things off too badly if I'm doing 75mg ED

agree 100 %

use the z-track method (google it) but unless you have a partner you can really only do it for quads and a couple other body parts

Just continue with your normal schedule,

and stop over thinking things with your cycle!

maybe pull the skin to the side slightly so once you pull the needle out the "holes" dont line up any more. ie the "hole" in the muscle will be covered by skin with no "hole".
