Pulled needle out, blood came flowing out

[Bigd89]

Im in week 8 of 500mgs test e a week and all ny shots have been in the glute/hip area. Did my normal routine this morning and when I pulled the needle out blood was just came gushing out! Throughout the cycle I've had minor(if any) blood come out after injecting.

Do you think I lost any gear?? I left the needle in for 20 seconds before I pulled out.

Probably just went thru a vein. No biggie..

if the blood looked like it would when you get a normal cut then prob no gear was lost but if the blood was seperated in what looks like small balls running down your hip seperated then thats when gear has leaked out with it, chances are you nipped a vessle or vain dont worry man.

Ok, good deal. I don't want to throw my hormones off balance..

I was just stunned on how much blood came out, almost filled up a jumbo cotton ball lol.

It was just a stream of blood, no small balls Haha.

It happens and sometimes you do lose a bit of gear.....that's life. A steady needle and relaxed muscle i believe are the two biggest things to prevent that

Occasionally you can poke a vein or artery close to the skin, and it will bleed like a fountain. This is very rare, unless there is an underlying reason, such as blood thinners. I wouldn't worry. It has never happened to me with gear, but it did happen once with my b12 shot in my thigh.

Thanks guys. I wonder if a dull needle has anything to do with it?

[Bigd89]

I never switch to a fresh needle when I pull out of the vial.

I've had it fly out about 6-7inches from my shoulder and hit the wall. Looks mental, but all was good.

I use 17g for drawing from the vial and 23g or 25g for injecting.

Dont draw and inject with the same needle. The rubber stopper will blunt the needle a fair bit, more so than injecting into the muscle and through the skin IMHO.

no it doesnt. You just nicked or went threw a vein. Being sharp or dull doesnt matter. Just the spot you hit. It happens no big deal.

I always inject in the bathroom now. Cause i've pulled the pin out and had blood go shooting across the room

Wow, fvck that! I wouldn't touch gear again if that happend to me.

happen to me yesterday while pinning delts. pulled the pin out and it came squirting out my arm like a water gun. Got all over the wall. It happened 1 other time during this cycle, same delt for some reason. Got a little freaked out, but didn't feel any pain afterward. The day before i was pinning my quad and while i was injecting the gear, my quad all of a sudden decided to shift/move. It felt awkward and painful a couple hours later.
