First injection this morning - test e

[First6]

A couple of things here.

As said. You don't want to reuse a needle.

If you get some in a vein - in addition to what was said you may have a severe coffing fit that lasts several minutes.
Did you get some in a vein - based on your description - NO. Wait a few months and you see the second shot you had is more like a normal shot. A small pin head of blood arising to the top is fine. A slight drip down the leg is fine.

Shake the test before you draw it into the needle.

You can warm the bottle under running water a little to make things easier for your self. (you will not need a draw needle. - It draws much easier) Don't make it hot - you can burn your muscle if you go overboard on the heat.

Always swab the bottle top and your injection site first - then draw and then never let the needle touch Anything.

Your doing great!

Already on this one - placed an order with AR-R =)

Yea, based on this I definitely did not hit/inject into a vein. The blood was a bit more than slight, but like I said, it did stop almost immediately after I wiped it

Will do from now on. I'm always worried about any getting out of the vial

I've heard of people doing this, but was worried about contamination. You think it's ok?

Always do. Basically been drawing, recapping the needle, changing needles, swabbing injection site, then pinning.

Your doing great!

Thanks bro! =)

Thanks First6, comments above in bold.

Yeah I do. My Doc told me to do it so he does to. You don't want to run the water over the top of the bottle. (As you know - You don't want any water geting into it) I usually run 2 inches of hot water into the sink and hold the bottle by the rim and hold it in the water for a minute. Then shake, swab, draw, stick. The only real benefit is that you don't need a draw needle. It slides into the injection needle nice and easy.
As far as sticking the injection needle into the bottle and dulling it. - I have done it both ways (with a draw needle and without many times and never could tell a dif.) I never use draw needles anymore.

LoL this was going to be my next question - it's the main reason i'm using a draw needle. I guess i'll give it a shot, thanks again bro!

Oh yeah I think you should def at least try it. Your not reusing the pins so how dull could it possibly make it to stick it through the stopper one time before going through your skin? I don't know... I could never tell any dif at all. Besides... you get the bonus of not having to worry about the air or messing with the extra pins or any of that.

good luck on your cycle gbrice. On my last cycle when i pulled back on the pluger i almost never get bubbles coming back in, and i pull back with some force. If you was in a vein the slightes pull back on the plunger will start to fill with blood. Good luck

Thanks bro! Those were some earlier problems I was having. It's pretty 'second nature' by now, although I recently did nick a vein (not inject into one) and blood sprayed EVERYWHERE!

Anyway, looking forward to ending the cycle, cleaning up, doing my PCT and hopefully keeping my gains.
