drawing blood

[markshark]

ok...ive been injecting plenty in 3 cycles and today had a first...when i injected, i went to pull back on the syringe and instead of fluid going into the syringe like normal, if filled with blood. i pulled the needle out without injecting, swabbed the area, but then injected in another site. i didnt want to waste the cc of gear because of blood, and i figured injecting some blood intramuscularly wouldnt be a big deal. i feel fine from it but i didnt know what to do....was i wrong? k

youre fine, you did the right thing by aspirating

that should be fine as long as the needle did not touch anything after you pulled it out. The blood is sterile of course, since you injected it back in right away.

When i aspirate and draw blood i dont alway move to a new site, i pull the needle out a bit and re-aspirate again, sometimes it does the trick.

I shoot it all back it in, no need to waste your gear.

The only thing is that if exposed to air, your blood will begin to coagulate. If you draw blood, leave it exposed to air and then reinject it- I wouldn't do that. But the way you did it is OK, you did it right.
