even though you're injecting in fat there are still very small veins present, and once in a while we hit a vein and it bleed under your skin, thats why the bruise, its just blood that leaks under the skin. no biggie, it happens to me once in a while, in fact i have one now.
No big deal to me, but I find bruising only happens when the needle insertion is painful. Someone on here mentioned they probe the area before insertion, but I forget who that was?
Yeah I get that every once in a while no biggie it goes away in a few days...
I never mentioned it but I do probe for all my sub q shots, Test/HCG/VIt B...... still get a bruise once in a while but not nearly as often as when I just jabbed anywhere.Quote:

^ Yes. Thanks Vettester. I've been doing this as well since I switched to subq last monday.
