Aspirating??

[zsimpson22]

So I finally got my vials, pct, and pins ready to start my first test e only cycle. Pumped as hell. My question is on aspirating though. How many of you actually do it? Is it necessary? And if you aspirated and no blood comes in, what DOES it suck in? Air? Is not dangerous to inject a big air bubble back into your muscles?

I aspirate every time though I don't think it's necessary I think it just became habit for me if you aspirate and air comes in as soon as you let go the air goes back out if you draw up blood pull out change needle and pin in a diff spot

Yes aspiration is completely necessary and to answer your question about what draws into the needle if not blood, the answer is air. But if the draw from the vial is done correctly the the air drawn in won't be a problem. What you don't want is blood.

Hmmmm....I always thought it was fat that was scooped up by the spike passing down through the fat layer en route to the muscle.

Have never aspirated. Never had any problems.

I never aspirated and never had a problem, but since I read that it should be done and my wife now injects me I do it everytime. I have yet to see a difference, but I figure what the hell.

I don't aspirate and neither does your doctor. It's not necessary and you can cause more damage moving the needle around.

I also leave a nice fat bubble of air in the syringe to push all the gear out of the needle and to bury it deeper into the muscle.

Definitely aspirate! I promise you will regret unloading in a vein. Terrible chest burn, uncontrollable coughing, and pouring sweat. And as far as the air goes you can inject up to 10cc's of air before you would even notice.

I always do, as many times as I've pinned I've only pulled blood back once and i just changed the pin and hit another spot

I aspirate maybe 50% of the time. I'm an RN and the odds of unloading into a vein are pretty small but it definitely wouldn't be comfortable. Pretty hard to unload into a vein when the needle is basically going in perpendicular to the direction the veins are going.
