injection bleeding !

if there's a pretty good amount of bleeding after pulling the needle out of the site but not alot of bleeding like you hit a vein but just maybe enough to say if you were to collect it it would make a few drops, anyways if this happens is most of the gear that you've injected come out with the blood ?

There was a discussion about the same thing a few weeks ago.....
No, the gear didn't come out - you'd see it if it did

Chances are the bleeding (if a few drops) from scratching tissue close to the surface. You injected deep in the muscle.

If it's oil based - you'd feel and see the oil on your skin.

Doubt that any gear came out. The blood that came out was prolly from superficial tear while poking yourself or you went through some capilary or vein. As long as you aspirated and no blood, you are fine. And yes, you would be able to see the gear. If ya didnt, then either very little came out or none at all.

no worries, you are fine. like tank said, as long as you aspirate every time, to make sure that you're not in a vien, it's all good. sometimes you can pass thru a vein on the way down, which would cause some bleeding (or bruising). it's normal to get some blood comming back up...you did punch a small hole in youself

sometimes i bleed a bit, sometimes i don't, but it doesn't affect anything, and if you inject properly, you shouldn't get any gear comming out.

This happens all the time(the bleeding from shots I mean). Go to a doctor, and when he/she gives you a shot, most of the time you'll bleed a little bit from it. They don't say "ut oh...the vaccine came out in the blood". So you're fine.
