What I do and would recommend is when injecting push the needle all the way in and take your hand off of it for a second....you don't actually have to pull back much, just a tiny pull and IF you're in a vein it will pull back easily as it fills with blood, so if it's not pulling back then you know you're good. It's good to be aware of this but don't be paranoid as it's not easy to hit a vein directly.
It has happened to me once where I shot in the middle of my glute as opposed to the outside and TWICE in a row I pulled back slightly and the syringe flooded with blood and I was astonished at how much blood flowed in there and how quickly, and honestly I wanna say I didn't even aspirate but I don't wanna send the wrong message as one should aspirate...but my point is you'll know if you're in a vein it'll feel off and youll get dizzy and light headed..If you feel that STOP injecting!
It's happened to me and I felt dizzy and nauseous for a few mins then it went away.. I'm assuming just a little got in my vein though. I imagine if I pumped the whole syringe into my vein I would've had an embolism or something...Not cool.
Take aways 1. don't worry about the blood as long as you're not injecting the gear into your vein you'll be fine 2. Needle gauge is large enough to where blood will flow in with little to no aspiration (although you should still aspirate to be safe) 3. Learn your body so you know what spots are problem free for you and what spots you need to pay extra attention to.
