injections rant

[quinn]

ARGHHH!!!!

No, seriously. How the **** did I get this unlucky? Today was going to be my third injection of T, but guess what? I hit a vein. SEVEN TIMES!!! No exaggeration either. On the third or fourth try, I forgot to aspirate, and once I was done injecting, I bled a little and all of the T came out, and it bled some more. On the seventh try, I got the needle about 3/4" in and it felt like I was hitting a vein so I just pulled the needle out and said f*** it! No T this week for me... And the worst part is, needles freak me out now. I should probably try again tomorrow to inject, but just the thought of it makes me feel nauseous. I hate the way it feels to do injections, I'd rather cut myself fifty times than do one injection. GRRR I feel so ANGRY!!! I cannot believe I messed this up so badly! Wasted some T, stuck needles in my thighs seven times for no freaking reason... Shoot me now!

I'm sorry Quinn  Worst I've done is 4 times. Man your strong for trying 7! Maybe you could try a different spot or ask someone to do it for you this week?

Yeah I was trying different spots, I ended up trying in both thighs. This morning I did my shot before I left for work, and when I first put the needle in just a centimeter or so, I was freaking out a little because I was convinced I'd keep hitting a vein, but apparently my streak of bad luck wore off because I got it the first time, none of the T leaked out, and I didn't bleed more than a tiny tiny drop. My thighs were a little sore today  from all that needle-stabbing! Haha. But I'm ok

That is scary to read. I hit a vein once but never twice. I have freaked out and had to pull it out twice but I was able to get the needle to go into a muscle with no bleeding the third time around. I also had to deal with jumpy muscles and had to start over-not fun. It is my assumption that you are aiming for the same area that I used for injecting Estrogen.

I'd say if it starts happening again, maybe try another spot? even if just once in a while. I inject in my buttocks (haha i know, lol) but i feel like there's less risk for hitting veins in that area ^ ^
