Jabbing - Am I doing something wrong?

Alright, this is starting to really piss me off. About 3 weeks into my first injectable cycle. Just did my 6th jab there. Every single time I have jabbed, there has been blood in the syringe after aspirating.
 
I just attempted to jab my glute for the first time, having thus far only done quad. It was going fine, pin went in smoothly and pain free, aspirated smoothly, etc but again, blood in the syringe.
 
Now, am I missing something or am I doing something wrong or what? I have heard quite a few people say they have NEVER hit a vein when jabbing. How is it that during my incredibly short jabbing career I have managed to do it during 100% of my jabs? It surely can't just be a coincidence can it?
 
Am I actually hitting veins when this happens? Or is there a chance it is something else, like perhaps I'm jabbing too fast which causes bleeding at the jab site and as a result some of it shoots into the barrel when I aspirate? Or what?
 
Would appreciate your thoughts.

So you are drawing in blood when you aspirate?
 
In all my years of jabbing I have never drawen in blood when aspirating. Where exactly are you jabbing?

Yep mate. Every single time.
 
I'm jabbing roughly here: http://www.spotinjections.com/thigh1.htm

Blocked at work.... mid point down side of thigh yeah? Any bruising? Is that where you first jabbed and maybe from bruising/bleeding from that you are drawing in intermuscular haematoma rather than fresh vein blood possibly?

That's right yeah mate. Nope no bruising, but I've been jabbing in exactly the same spot since the start so perhaps there is some kind of bruising that I can't see externally?

how about trying different sites? biceps or shoulders perhaps?

It's the only think I can think of, beyond fluke, as to why this would happen so frequently. 1st jab, shakey hand, lots of internal micro scratches on veins/capillaries causing bleeding. Doesn't seap out beyond the muscle fascia so no visable bruising but you just keep jabbing the area where the blood was pooled.
 
Maybe?

What length and gauge pins are you using?

23g x 1" mate

Sounds weird
 
Wouldn't try biceps or shoulders lol If you are having issues with thighs
 
Sometimes I get blood but I still inject it If I can't be arsed injecting again anyway wouldn't worry about it
 
 

whats wrong with biceps?? easiest shot imo

The guy is on his first cycle having problems with injecting one of the easiest sites. It maybe easy for you but defo will be a nightmare for a new starter. IMHO

Confidence is the biggest key to injecting properly. I do it regularly in work, but you should of seen how anxious I was when it came to doing it to myself the first time.... LOL
 
What you could try mate... continue the thigh area as your injection site.... BUT I want you to inject about a cm to the right of where your original site was. You should be able to see a red dot where your other injection points were.... go a cm from it, and try that. Should help?
 

why would it be a nightmare? I find quad shots the hardest, always hit a nerve. and hes obviously having problems with quad shots. I stand by my initial post, biceps and shoulders very easy, as are pec and tricep shots.

When you say blood is it a lot or just a dash? Trust me when you aspirate into a vein you know about it the whole barrel floods with blood instantly. AS DV said could just be bruising.
 
I find delts with 1 inch blues best place to jab maybe try that. 

Cheers for the replies fellas.

Ras - no its not a lot of blood, just a few droplets really?

Sounds like "old" or clotting blood cells.... rather than fresh on the tap blood

Wouldnt worry then. Have you ever had bloody taken at a quacks? Well thats what happens if you hit a vein so unless thats happning id say your ok tbh. Do try delts though I find them easy than the ass or thigh. 

CK where are you from pal ? 

Also recommend medial delts or glutes.
 
only drawn blood once in hundreds of jabs, could feel it in the vein though (needle was pulsing slightly lol)
