Title: T Leakage
Post by: MJMW on July 07, 2009, 07:47:06 PM
I recently started T and every time I've injected myself some always leaks out after I pull the needle out of my muscle.  Is there a way to prevent this?

My endo told me it's normal and that it's not actually T but fluid from the muscle injection. She said not to worry, that I'm not losing any of my dose.

Oh wow, thanks guys.

I've had the leakage issue for a while. Not every time but often enough it can be annoying.

I'll try this today when I get home.

I've been doing z-tracking since Mister first suggested it when I was having the same problem, and I've only seen the clear fluid leakage once or twice since. But Nero's likely right... it's probably not the T. Doesn't make much sense that it would come out, anyway.
