Hello everyone,
Currently at week 4 of my first test cycle. I use a 3cc 25g 1.5 inch needle (What I could find in the 3 pharmacies around my place) I usually inject in the upper right part of the quad. Easier for me to see and control than my Bootay
First 2 injections were smooth no issues no blood coming out.
3rd injection blood squirted.. did some research on this forum and I think I probably hit a blood vessel.
Fourth was 2 days ago. I decided to push the injection site it to the side a bit to avoid the blood vessels (half way through side quad). No blood came out after but the whole area turned blue the day after and is still painful until today.
The only difference that I can think of is that at the 3rd and 4th injections I felt slight pain after the needle penetrated the skin. As if it was penetrating more tissue or muscle underneath unlike the first 2 injections where I didn't feel anything. I thought of sticking to 1 side quad to make the muscle get used to injections but surprisingly there is more pain now than the first 2 injections
overall its tolerable but I want to learn to be better at this since I am going to be doing it for another 6 weeks. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you
