Title: Slight Problem When I Did My Shot
Post by: Brayden on August 19, 2012, 05:16:21 PM
I just did my shot, which I do in meh butt, and when I went to put a band aid on, I noticed that quite a bit of the testosterone was dripping down, even though I had the needle in all the way and made sure multiple times that I pushed the plunger all the way in.

I've seen videos of guys who had this problem, but its been a while.  Is this normal, and is there a way to prevent this?  This was my second time doing it at home, but when my nurse did it, I did notice a small drop of it coming out, but not this much. 

Thank you for your advice!

it tends to happen to me  but most of it is going in ive heard of z tracking but you should talk to your doc before trying it http://www.nursingcenter.com/upload/static/592775/Take5_Ztrack.pdf (http://www.nursingcenter.com/upload/static/592775/Take5_Ztrack.pdf)

It can happen for a number of reasons.  Did you leave the needle in your butt for about 10 seconds after you finished injecting the fluid?  Did you immediately apply gentle pressure to the injection site and massage the area?
