Sub Q Injections

Hi - Just wondering if it's normal to have a little bit of blood come out after injecting meds and removing the needle.

Thanks!

It's not uncommon. Sometimes, you hit a capilary which causes a little bleeding. If it continues to happen, I recommend you talk to your doctor or nurse. Don't worry, it shouldn't hurt you in any way. Good luck with those injections...they can be frustratingly annoying. Blessings to you.

I had some blood on several occasions. I asked my RE and he said it was ok not too much to worry about.

I had it happen a few times. Are you taking Baby Aspirin? I had blood much more often while taking the BA since it thins the blood. My RE said not too worry.

I sure hope it is common because I have a little bit come out almost everytime with my Follisim injections. I don't have any with my Lupron injections, I guess it is the difference in needles.

another helpful tip is: after you've injected all the meds. Slowly count to five before you even start to pull the needle out.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
