Centrotide

[Amanda86]

Hey all,

So I done my first centrotide injection this morning. It was all fine expect that I didn't draw back the plunger before injecting to check for blood. I stupidly missed that bit on the instruction form and it was too late. Anyway when I took the needle out I did have some blood. Will this be OK? Obviously I will be more careful tomorrow but just worried and wanted to make sure what I've done won't cause be to become ill or anything 😫

Thanks x

I never did that on any of my injections as too squeamish, I was fine Xx

Think I might be too squeamish too! Don't like the thought of seeing blood draw up 😱 xxx

Hi Amanda86. Never mind, I'm sure you wouldn't have given it intravenously, as that is difficult to do when underneath the flesh. I'm sure all will be fine and good luck! Diane

Thanks Diane. I will be more careful tomorrow and will hopefully get on better 😊 xxx

Hi Amanda86. Give yourself some credit! It's never easy giving yourself injections, but I'm sure you will have the hang of it by now. Good luck! Diane
