Just curious. I only pin 3 spots and this is how often I bleed in these spots:
Delts: 3/4
Glutes: 1/3
Quads: 1/8
Just typed this up after pinning my left delt and getting a gush of blood after pulling out the needle. It’s my favorite spot to pin because of less pain and convenience, but it’s a leaker.
I pin 1/2" needle everywhere. I bleed often but it's less than a Pea size blood drop. Once in a blue moon I'll get quarter size, maybe 1x a month.
Delts I bleed like a stuck pig.
Z-track the injection and switch to 1.5" needle. Should reduce bleeding to almost zero.Quote:

Z-track works pretty well for this like windex said, I get squiters whenever my wife is in the bathroom.......works out perfect ;)
I can't do 1.5". 1" is too long imo. 5/8 is what I use, except for glutes. Glad to see I'm not the only one with leaky delts.
You can still Z track. And use only BD or Terumo. Any other needle brand is ugly in my opinion/experience.Quote:

I rarely bleed now, after stopping my blood donations & aspirin
Before, I seen fountains a few times
I sometimes see a spot of blood after I pull the pin out otherwise no blood at all. The other day I pinned my shoulder though and must've kicked a vein because it leaked down my arm for a bit. I use 25g 1" for glutes and quads and 5/8" for shoulders.
You could try also to pin somewhere new like chest or calves.
+1 for the 25 gauge, 1 inch. Hardly ever bleed more than a drop, and I pen chest, dealt, hams, glute, traps... Rarely ever bleed. The downside is that each injection through that tiny ass gauge takes for freaking ever!Quote:

Same to the 18g, by the end of the vial if I've been haphazardly poking around to get the last drops I notice leakage but otherwise its been good.Quote:

Redz you went from a lanky 20yr old garage pic to a jacked George Clooney.
Other pic was like 8 years ago lol. I’m going to evolve again over the next few months I finally have the context figured out.
Pinned test in quad, 1” 22 gauge needle zero blood.
Pinned 250ius of hcg in shoulder, 5/8” 25 gauge, pretty sure I shot it straight into a vein. Blood ran right out as soon as I pulled the needle out, and it was only on the very tip of the needle.
You took the words out of my mouth. Z Track is the way to go.Quote:
