I bleed profusely almost everytime, and I'm always on the mark as I use a mirror. I kind of write it off as maybe blood pressure is higher due to excitement of the unnatural event of jabbing my ass with a 1.5 inch needle. Or just high pulse you know. I'm always glad I do it cause test has good benefits just besides gains, and I get to liking the whole process of being physically fit. You know I'm here because the curiousity got to me...yep it happens every damn time and will be half way down my thigh before I can get the swab on it. Thought this might comfort you as much as this post did me. Thanks for not being scared to ask about it.
