Aspirating with a air bubble.

Hey bros, recently I've been injecting using the air bubble technique to minimize oil left in the syringe after injection.

However when I aspirate I can't seem to draw any air bubbles, is this normal? Nothing comes up at all.

Is it possible to aspirate too hard as well? My past two injections have been killing me. Next injection I'm just going to flick the plunger lightly to check for blood, see if that helps with the pain.

I use the air bubble technique and have never aspirated . I think it's unnecessary .
 
You can pretty much feel if the pin is in correct spot or not, I have done many pins since I like short esters and have never had a problem

I hear ya, I'd just rather not risk it
 
While pinning I can CLEARLY feel when I hit a vein ... it is a very distinct feeling which you cannot describe to anyone ... you have to have felt it. I personally do not like the idea of pinning IM in quads or glutes without aspirating.

This^^. You will know if your getting any in a vein immediately. If this happens just go a little deeper and your good. I never aspirate its a waste IMO
 
Hi zinergy

Some guys tend to get pip when they're injecting short esters like propionate. Is that what you're using?

I rarely aspirate myself. This is only because I've been self injecting HRT for 12 years and like to think I know my around my body and how it reacts etc.
However, if a person is new or relatively inexperienced with self injecting, then I'd highly advise them to aspirate each and every injection. Aspiration is also a must do if you think you might have plunged into a vein. Basically, wherever there is doubt, draw it out.
 
Aspirating is a waste of time. I've been injecting for years and never aspirated. Ive never see it done in the field either, it's plain stupid anyone actually would.
 
I just developed a stupid paranoia around it after I struck my first vein (many years ago) and carried on injecting. I have never hit a vein before, so I didn't know then what felt so weird. I got such a bad fever I felt like dying. In all probability, if that never happened to me, I would also not have worried about aspirating. I do not see the issue around not koing it ... just my personal preference based on a personal mistake many years ago. lol!
 
It's plain stupid to aspirate? Elaborate.

I guess I agree that if your new to injecting and your paranoid then go ahead and do it. But trust me when I tell you that aspirating tends to be the reason people hit veins. They tend to move the needle around and cause the issues. And like I said when you do get some in a vein( you will eventually) you will feel that coughing sensation immediately. If you continue to inject it in the vein you will feel terrible and have a miserable day or two ahead of you. So don't do it.
 
Have you ever seen a doctor or nurse aspirate? They dont practice that anymore they just jab it in, if too far they pull back a tad and push the plunger down like theyr angry at it lol. But i aspirate just a little quick pullback and in it goes. =)

This!!! I never aspirated. I usually leave about .5cc bubble in to make sure all the joose is in. You will def feel the vein, just push a little deeper. When I feel I hit a vein or nerve i just slow way down but continue to push.

Yea seriously, this is the first thing I see when joining this board I am not super excited to continue reading. Also "waste of time" what else are you going to spend those 2 seconds on... Will it kill you to not aspirate? probably not. will it kill you if you do? absolutely not. your call

What a pointless post...
 
It's an old practice that's not used anymore. No one is teaching to aspirate anymore. I don't even know why there are people still preaching to use that method

Exactally, Dr's and nurses do not aspirate they just jab you and put a cotton swab on it once pulling the pin out if they go thru a vein or not they put a bandaid over it.My 40 yrs of pinning i've never aspirated once!
 
I guess I'm behind the times lol. Guess I'm just too cautious at times. Never had a prob with it but if the cool kids aren't doing it, maybe ill stop being a pussy
 
I guess I'll stop, one time I aspirated and mid way through the injection I nearly passed out and had a hard time breathing. Must have moved the needle into a vein and didn't even notice it.
