I was hitting the ventrogluteal site (the hip), and stupid me forgot to aspirate after injecting 1ml... so I aspirated in the middle of the inject and glob or two of blood went into the syringe. I pulled out the syringe, and switched out the needle and plunged into a different area of the ventrogluteal site. I aspirated first and just got an air bubble, so I injected the rest of the 1.5ml. Then I let the needle rest for a little bit after injection, and when I pulled out from the site, lots of blood streamed down my leg, I wiped it and still blood came streaming down so I pressed on it and then it stopped. What the fuck happened, two bad injects, I wonder if I wasted that second inject - could the blood have pushed out my 1.5ml when streamed down?
And most importantly, did I just shoot into a vein the first time? It was just a few big globs/droplet of blood when I aspirated after having shot 1ml the first time. I kinda freaked, but I feel totally fine. I didn't cough or anything, does that mean I didn't shoot into a vein or what? Maybe the needle was just moving around too much?
Am I supposed to feel something instantly if I shot into a vein or somewhere I'm not supposed to? It's been 5-10 minutes since this incident, and I still feel fine, just kinda freaked out by this incident and totally bummed at the two shots I just did just now...
Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks brothas.
