I aspirated and drew back blood on my third ever T shot. It's a real thing, though I was under the impression it is not common. I inject in my thigh.
Curious if it's happened to you guys.
Also, I hated throwing away T!

Never to me, but I have a few years of trying left.

So far, I never drew back blood. Only air bubbles.

I drew back blood on my first unassisted shot. I wasn't sure to toss the T or to re-try, so I just injected it into my other thigh. The only side-effect was that the spot where I injected was a lot more painful than usual. It doesn't happen often from what I have heard.

My 1st two shots were painless. The site where I drew back blood hurts now, but not the injection site. Weird.
i also don't really know what to do with the air bubbles. When I push them out, it pushed out some T first. But maybe that's T that would have been lost anyway when I swap needles.

That makes perfect sense. I always wondered about why bruises hurt as much as they did and that would explain it.
