It's frustrating, I really wanted to run this cycle, spent several months getting myself ready for it but I think i'm going to hold off for now.

    I definitely appreciate the quick feedback from you guys.
    Nope, that has to be wrong. I've drawn with a 25 gauge 1 inch before, and it took eons to draw from it. I switched pins after drawing, injected, and I never ever got any infections. It must have been something you did... either rubbed the pin on something and not noticed it or something of that sort.

    I don't see how you can get bacteria just latch onto the pin from the air. I suspect it is possible, but highly unlikely. Make sure that you do not remove the cap from the needle until you need to draw or inject. Otherwise, LEAVE THE CAP ON AT ALL TIMES.

    Whereabouts were you injecting (like what room or environment were you in)?

    In my bedroom, which is a clean environment. My needle cap was off for a little longer then necessary though cause I kind of hovered over my leg for a bit, first injection anxiety. Didn't even come close to touching anything though. So unless it was air, like the previous poster said, I don't know what else it could of been. But it did happen, unfortunately.

    Hey that suck bro. My wife is a nurse and she does my injections so i have had no problems, but she will take the vial and put it in her hand for a few to warm it up, helps with drawing it in the needle faster, but you can get airbourne bacteria like getting a cold, you just need to be fast and very careful not to touch the needle on anything or keep the cap off and dont be afraid to tell the doctor what you did, you cant get in trouble.
