I'm pretty sure someone in the past posted a similar topic....

I did my shot today..n im kind of freaking out...because when I pulled out the needle a lot of blood gushed out...it came out so fast that it leaked down my leg.
is this normal? i mean i know bleeding happens...but this is the first time that much blood came out.
n is it possible that all my T bled out also? should i re-do my shot?

I don't think blood leaking out a lot is that big of a deal.  I'm a bit of a squirter so after having my blood drawn or an IV put in and then the needle's removed, I squirt and bleed quite a bit--even under the skin so it always looks like I've been beaten up.

However, if it won't stop bleeding and refuses to clot, you might want to go in.

you hit a vein or an artery, chances are you went past it when you injected so I would wager that the t made it into muscle not a vein.

I have no advise however, not qualified to make the call.

thanks everyone.

I am hoping that you know when doing your injections that after inserting the needle you need withdraw slightly to make sure no blood goes into the syringe before actually making the injection to make sure you have gone into muscle and NOT into a vein or artery? If you have any blood coming back into the syringe you need to withdraw and find a new injection site.

If this is the case DO NOT redo your shot as it may still be running at full dose through your circulatory system. Speak to a medical professional and ask what they advise.

I have never had more than an slight glob of blood come out after my shots and have been on T for over 3 years and have certainly never experienced anything like you have described bleeding wise.

I don't want to sound condesending but this is VERY important to know before injecting an intramuscular testosterone dose.

If you are following the above guidelines, I am sorry for banging on so much and it may just be that you have just caught a vein or artery on the way in. In which case you will not need to re-inject either.

Well ok, that's good news fella but I have never had ANY blood gushing incidents in 3 years of injections, although I do take my shots in my butt muscle.

I presume from what you have said that you are taking yours in your leg muscle seeing as the blood ran down your leg?

Sorry that I can't help you any more regarding this.
