Injected into Vein - How much wasted?

[T-Bone11]

So I did a glute shot yesterday, aspirated as I always do, drew up no blood, then proceeded to push the plunger. Halfway through, I got a little tickle in the back of my throat that made me want to cough. It was really mild, nothing like the sudden coughing attacks I read about when injecting into a vein. I resisted coughing because I didn't want the pin to shake, then I finished the job and removed the pin and finally let loose on the coughing. Lasted about 30 seconds, was moderately intense but I didn't think I was going to pass out or anything. When I pushed the empty syringe, a single drop of blood mixed in oil came out.

Then later that night, I woke up with extreme difficulty breathing, fever and chills, and flu-like symptoms like muscle aches everywhere and just generally feeling like utter crap. Felt like pneumonia + the flu. But then it all got better in a few hours and I feel fine today, maybe a little difficulty taking deep breaths but otherwise fine.

Questions:

1. What do you think happened? I don't think I plunged directly into a vein because I didn't get any of the immediate symptoms. Most of the issues came several hours later. My theory is that i nicked a vein near the injection site and oil slowly seeped into the vessel.

2. How much gear do you think I lost if this was through a vein? Enough to re-dose to keep my levels steady?

Thanks mates

Doubt u was n vein... What did you inject? Sounds like you hit some test and got mild case of test flu to me.. No need to re dose prob lost nothing

Might have had a pyrogenic reaction

 

[T-Bone11]

It was test, and I understand it's metabolite is a pyrogen but I don't know how likely it is.

As for test flu, was the main symptom with test flu a cough that starts in the middle of pinning and causes difficulty breathing for hours?

Maybe I nicked a vein AND got the flu, which is why my symptoms are so confusing.

If you dont mind my asking, what ester test are you pinning?

Who really knows how much effect was loss. Perhaps if you were doing weekly lab work which
is highly uncommon for most. I wouldnt overthink it too much and I would do my best not to
do it again.

You didn't shoot into the vein I guarantee and you didn't waste any of it.

If you injected oil DIRECTLY into your vein, you'd likely be dead. You could have 'nicked' it but the timing of the symptoms are strange. What you experienced was likely psychosomatic.

2. How much gear do you think I lost if this was through a vein? Enough to re-dose to keep my levels steady?

You didn't lose any AAS, there is no need to re-dose.

Why, after aspirating did you inject if there was the remotest possibility of bein a vein. Oil in heart valve or stroke not worth the risk. Honestly, life or death.

 

[T-Bone11]

Thanks for the input everyone, it was cyp.

To the above poster, I did aspirate and like I said, there was nothing.

That said, my experience probably wasn't psychosomatic, as waking up from sleep with a documented fever via thermometer is a little hard to psychologically induce lol.

I had something similar happen again recently but nothing to this magnitude. I think it's possible I had a transient infection that led to my symptoms because the fever just doesn't fit with the rest of the story

I actually chuckled when I read the title of the thread. Lets stop and think about this for a minute. How does testosterone move around the body and get to the muscles? ummm, the bloodstream? So if testosterone ended up in the bloodstream how would it be wasted?

It won't be wasted but I think it will create a testosterone spike rather than slowly being introduced into the blood. The whole purpose of the ester is to lower the solubility of the testosterone so it enters the bloodstream more slowly, where the compound is quickly hydrolyzed and the testosterone becomes bioavailable. If it is injected directly into the bloodstream I would think the ester is stripped very quickly and the entire dose is immediately available to the body.

LOL, I understand the principle of deep IM injection. Just thought it was kinda funny to think it would be wasted.

I figured you did was replying to the OP. Also, I highly doubt the whole injection went into a vein. IV is sometimes hard to do - I can't imagine that going 90 degrees into a muscle will accidentally put the tip of the needle exactly in the middle of a vein and the whole shot in its entirety gets into the bloodstream. More likely that a vein was nicked and a bit gets in.
