Self injections

[CW12]

I self injected ( first time) in my thigh... kind of of a IM/SC hybrid. I just sort of stuck it in and pressed. There was some bleeding after. Has this happened to anyone

A small amount of bleeding isn’t unusual. It happens when the needle passes through a blood vessel in the skin.

Ok it was a small amount and stopped quickly

Yes, they never have bled in the arm. My husband and my friend did the first two injections in my arm. I decided to try it myself today in the thigh and it was the first time it bled

Hi CW12, I am a nurse and it's not unusual to have small amount of bleeding. Just wipe and ignore, well done on doing your own jabs x
