First time. Doesn't feel good.

In brief - just done my first injection and now feel really crappy (a lot of bleeding and now feel woozey). Is this normal?

In full - Just done my first injection (first time I've injected myself with anything). 1ml (250mg) of Test E in the upper outer quadrant of my right butt cheek. Used a 23g needle, followed everything I could find as to how to prep and do it. Used alcohol on the site, stuck the needle in and then drew a bit more slightly and there was no blood, so I wasn't in a blood vessel.

Injected super slow and it started feeling really rough. Once it was all in, I pulled the needle out and blood started dripping out of the site. Started feeling super light-headed and my hearing went funny, kinda like I was drunk.

It's now an hour later. My head still feels slightly faint, and my ass cheek is still sore.

Maybe I'm just being a pussy about it all, or are these feelings normal, particularly for first timers?

And is it normal for blood to actually drip from the injection site?

If none of this is normal, can anyone suggest any ways to make my second injection slightly less unpleasant?

I spot blood every time pinning the same way you've described. Never had the sides you are though.

Congratulations!

You missed the sweet spot location but you will be fine. Woozy seeing blood is normal for most people. Blood dripping is normal for many people..after retracting needle apply pressure for 2-5 minutes.

Yeah bro that's a big long fat needle deep into muscle.

Couple the very sight of it with the stigma of injecting mystery oil into yourself, and BAM!! instant panic attack.

Everything you feel is just your mind trying to sort through some thing that's very foreign and "secretive and bad"

It will,be better afyer the first one, and you realize your not dying. It will all,be downhill from here, in a good way

You will get use to it!

your panicking cause it was your first time and now over thinking it that's all

the more you worry about it the more you are going to overt think it and stress over it

What you are feeling is the dark side you have officially crossed over now. There is no return and all I can say is "Welcome"
