First cycle, injections questions.

[LucaG]

I'm on my first cycle and I just did my 2nd pin today. My first pin was in my right glute,which I think went pretty decent,still a lil sensitive but no real issues. today I pinned my outer right quad,and didn't notice the few minimal drops of blood from aspirating and injected 125mg/half ml of test E. The injection itself was painless,can barely tell I'd injected,PIP is practically non existent. I had heard from multiple sources the quads where not a recommendation,but it was convenient. for some reason I don't have same range of motion for left glute as I do right glute. I have no real experience, so my questions to the more experienced brothers on here are:
Should I be worried that I injected into my blood stream?
Any tips on further injections? (Specific sites, techniques ect.)

no worries just virgin muscle

Personally, if I aspirated blood, I would have changed needles and tried again, but if you had injected it into your blood stream, you would know (coughing etc.). As far as tips on injecting, I recommend warming your vial first and then drawing with a 23g 1.5" and then discarding that. I rotate glutes and quads, using 25g 1.5" for glutes and 25g 1" for quads. Gently massage the injection site a minutr or so afterwards. A heating pad, hot shower, and exercising tjeninjected muscle group is also helpful.

If you would've injected the whole amount in to your vein consequences would've been for sure much worse.
Perhaps you just scratched the vein a little bit.

I think glutes are a good place for beginners and smaller guys but I like delts as well.

Did it draw quickly? Like pon stated I'd use a higher gauge pin and warm your vial, it will be much more convienient. Depending on the thickness of your gear you may be fine drawing with a 25 g it just might take an extra 30 seconds. It sounds fine bro just be careful.

You will be fine. Many people do not aspirate at all..
I prefer Delts,and quads

I didn't notice blood,it wasn't in actually syringe,it was in space where needle connects to luer lock tip,do pretty easy to overlook. I draw with a 23g 1.5' and injected with 23g 1 inch. Thinking may swap to 25 in future, depends on how I'm feeling once I get use to pinning.

Not really easy,but it didn't take too long to draw.i keep it in refrigerator with my insulin and B-COMPLEX.i can see where warming it may help drawing process and PIP. Great advice.

Yeah I had success in glute,I think your right about just scratching it dince there were no other negative side affects and within a few hours the pip increased to feel similar to my right glute. Definitely gave me a jump see the blood though, I liked the quad because it was painless and convenient.there's just alot of shit that could go wrong if I'm not careful,so I believe I'll leave it for last resort until I'm more experienced just to be on safe side.id assume delt would be a good spot,but ATM I'd need someone to pin it for me.

 

[Gearhead13#2]

Sure bro anytime, no need too keep it refridgerated, defanitly try it warmer oil helps with its saturation as well so there isnt a need too massage post injection.

 

[Mobster]

It sounds like it went ok to me

 

[stevesmi]

the quads are an easy place to hit blood.

no you shouldn't be worried, but you should take another look at where you are injecting. i am confident you are injecting too low on the leg.

 

[cbbram]

You'll be fine

 

[RickRock]

Nothing to worry about

When you ask say warm the oil...how? Microwave? Just in vial before loading pin?

Don't microwave. Wrap your vial in a warm heating pad, or place it in warm water (like in a coffee mug). You don't have to go nuts with the temperature, but give it enough time to warm.

Thanks PON

 

[P0N]

You're welcome

Oh man ya not a microwave... A hairdryer works well too

I believe quad sites are targeted mid to mid high thigh area...where the muscle is tallest
