Bleeding from glute after injection

[0331FTW]

So I went to inject some T this morning in my glute and when I pulled the needle out some blood came with it which is unusual. Not a a lot but enough to drip down my leg then I applied direct pressure and it stopped. I'm assuming I nicked a blood vessel because I didn't get any blood when I aspirated. And I used the same site that I always do. But now there's a small hematoma right at the injection site. Might just be some of the blood that got caught sub q or could it be the oil. Is it possible that I lost all of my oil with the blood?

it is normal for a lil blood you jabbed a long needle in your body as long as it isn't gushing its fine I get a drop or 2 about half the time

It wasn't gushing but it was more than usual. It was enough that it flowed down to my leg for a second. Before I could apply direct pressure at which point it immediately stopped and now there's a small bump right there. That's why I was thinking I might've hit a blood vessel on the way out. Either way I just hope I didn't lose any of the oil.

I always pull the needle half to 3/4 the way out and stop for a few seconds an then pull the rest of the way out.

And this accomplishes?

[Joco71]

It gives it time to close with out having blood or oil come back out of the injection site.

Got it

[djgreen]

you don't really got to move it and pause I just let it sit there for 10-20 seconds before I take it out

[Joco71]

All I can tell ya is I have given myself a ton of injections and have tried several methods and this way works great fro me. Yes Dj just leaving pin in for 20-30 secs is a standard injection method and does work most of the time.

See I didn't know any of that I just do what my doctor does when I go in he just injects it and draws the needle out immediately I usually never bleed at all. With all that being said though do you guys think I should inject again on he other glute today in case the blood took all the oil with it?

[djgreen]

if it just looked like blood I wouldn't worry you can tell if it had oil mixed with it

This.

When you wipe it away you'll see if there was oil. I usually would t worry about any oil leaking out though. It's usually negligible. It just looks like lots on tissue paper.
