Blood after pin
ad
I pinned my ventroglute last night. Everything seemed normal except when I pulled it out, blood came gushing out of it extremely hard. I was surprised by this and let it bleed for a bit until it stopped on its own not too long after. I have no idea if there was oil coming out but I doubt it as it looked like normal blood and I injected over 1 inch beneath the skin. I guess I nicked a vein?

I've had it gush out as well after pinning, I figure I hit something going in no big deal. I did learn do NOT pin on the carpet!
As long as you aspirated (pulled back on the plunger of the syringe to make sure you weren't in a vein) and you didn't move the needle around too much while you were in the muscle, everything should be fine. Sometimes hitting scar tissue can hurt and cause blood, nicking a vein can cause blood, and some people just bleed ALOT. I myself have had a couple times that scared me when I pulled out and my leg instantly was COVERED in blood, even though I had aspirated and not hit a vein. To me, the worst part is losing the oil when the blood comes out. It's not a huge deal though and DON'T reinject another cc or so to make up for the lost oil, it won't affect it that much.
Use the Z-Track technique it helps stop the expensive product leaking into the subcutaneous tissue and helps stop leaking blood.

It still happens from time to time but I tend to pull out straight and immediately apply pressure with something sterile, massaging the spot.
I always pull back on needle until I see a few tiny air bubbles & no blood.
Good to go! Sometimes I get blood after pulling out, depends on how quick I pull out (That's just me & tri's only)
I always bleed more when i pin ventroglutes than anywhere else. Still my favorite place to pin though. You can take your alcohol swab or sterile gauze and press down on the spot for like 5 seconds, usually stops it right up.
If you aspirated and saw no blood you nicked or passed the pin thru a vein. It does happen.
Thanks, I'm lacking confidence in my aspiration ability. How hard do I need to pull back to confirm no blood? Also if I'm over an inch deep how would I be in a vein? better safe than sorry I guess. Are there any side effects I would have noticed if I had shot 1cc test oil into a vein?
You could easily be in a vein or an artery so always aspirate.
AnonPull back until you see little air bubbles come in.. or blood.
If you shoot into a vein you will feel like your about to die for roughly 5 minutes + coughing fit. YOULL KNOW.
You most likely nicked a capilarry, blood vessel, or vein on the way in.
It happens.. Its all apart of the game. Luckily I doesnt happen often (never happened to me yet)
The coughing was the test leaving thru lungs. Veins are all over...it happens. If ya draw back plunger for a second or two is good. How many cycles completed?
I'm only 3 weeks into my first ever cycle...that's why I sound like a newb!
yea its happend to me quite a few times as well, as long as you aspirate your cool
I pinned a quad this morning aspirated all good and on the way out after I injected the needle filled with a little blood. I must have passed through a vein on the way out and the plunger pushing back created a vacuum and sucked some blood in.
