First time using test cyp. Scared the he'll out of me!

[Paradeigma]

Okay guys,

I am really new to all of this so please forgive me for tryin to roll with the big boys here and also if I should've posted under another topic...

So I just received a bottle of test cyp in the mail and got right down to business.

Well, I put it in the top outer side of. My right quadricep (1.25" deep) and attempted to draw up blood to make sure I hadn't hit a vain.

Once I finished, I stood up and out of nowhere came a massive rush along with a pounding heart and a coldish feeling in my chest.

I believe I felt adrenaline quite strong.

WTF?!

I was about 95% sure that I had hit a vain and would suffer an "oil based embolism" at any second!

I had my 3 children in the next room and I'm thinking what now? Should is go hug them close or call 911???

So, some of you may be laughing your asses and maybe I would too if I were you and not me!
Still, it was so very unexpected and I know it was definitely not in my head.
I know my bod well and this was something i'd never experienced before.

My heart hasn't pounded that hard in a very long time.

This was maybe 25 minutes ago and I think I'm starting to feel it again.

Answer quick... Please help!!!

Thanks!

You'll be fine. Relax your not going to die from a bad inject. Even if you hit a vein.

 

[mac10chap]

Adrenalin at its finest. You'll be fine man. I've hit veins in my quads, glutes, ect with Test, Tren, Mast, Deca, ect. and lived to tell about it.

 

[Paradeigma]

Wow guys, thanks for the fast replies!

So, do you believe that this was me injecting oil into my bloodstream or was this a rare reaction to me putting the test cyp into my body?

I only put in 0.5mL and need to put in the rest but now I am hesitant

From what I understand, if there were any reactions, the wouldn't have been felt immediately. .. or am I wrong?

 

[jas101]

To me sounds like possibly hit a vein with a adrenaline rush. Hard to say for sure. When I've hit a vein in the past I could feel it in my lungs big time. Just relax though. If bad injects could kill everyone around here would be dead.

 

[Paradeigma]

Yeah, okay.
I'm going to have to use a bigger gauge hypo because I did attempt to draw up blood several times while injecting just to be certain that I hadn't hit a vain. I used a 25g, 1.5"
I did my best to keep it steady but the little bastard was sharp so it kinda went in and out at different depths to a small degree.

And yes, I can feel it in my lungs. Like a pressure and a sort of cold feeling or something. Its definitely strange.
So I can chalk this up to beginner's bad luck then.

I'm pretty new to pinning too....on my first cycle pinning now. My first pin in my quad, I got all sweaty and light headed after. Thought I was going to pass out. I don't know if I hit a vein or not, but man that was a rush. I think it was just a reaction to me shoving a sharp object into my own leg. It's not a natural thing to do. That might be what you are feeling too.

 

[Paradeigma]

Well, I have a distant past that says I'm not too scared of pins so outside of the adrenaline rush, which by the way was fucking INTENSE! I know it wasn't in my head.
It came in waves over the next 45 minutes.
Its been maybe an hour and half so I'm preparing to finish it off but in a different site for sure.

Dear God I hope it doesn't happen again!
I'll post the results either way. Unless it kills me of course. That's how you'll know no matter what.
Sweet plan, eh?! (total tongue and cheek).

 

[Paradeigma]

Okay, so it's been 10 minutes and all is well.
Guess what fellas?
I'm that lucky guy that hit a goddam vein my first time pinning..ever!
Shit.

Thanks for all the info and calm words while I was in Crazytown!
You guys rock!

Sounds like you were just super ramped up bro. Adrenaline mixed with shock. The first time I injected I passed out. I still get sweaty when I inject. It's just not natural putting needles in yourself.

I actually backload 27g slin pins if I go quad. I highly recommend this bro. There is so much shit in your quads that you can hit. Just backload a 27g 1" slin and push in firm to get it as deep as you can. It is so much nicer than looking at that cannon drilling into your veiny ass quad.

The glutes are the best spot to inject with normal guage needles cause theres hardly anything back there to hit. I've never had a bad inject in the glute with any guage needle.

Ive been on trt now for 4 years . You are bound to hit a vein sooner or later. I know some will say its stupid but i never aspirate. And have asked my doc long ago whether i should . And he said that it wasn't necessary. And come to think of never once have i received a shot from any doctors or nurses have they ever aspirated. Now i pin guads, glutes and delts with a 25g 1 1/2 . But just recently got some 27g needles only for the thinner esters and so nice.

 

[mattsilf]

Did you lube the pin (squeeze a little out)? I do that. And sometimes when I hit a vein, I get a little "high" feeling for a couple seconds. I just always assumed it was that little bit of oil hitting my blood stream. But im still here! Lol

 

[Smash1969]

Hey Ray, can you elaborate on what back loading a 27 g slin pin is? I have a hard time reaching my glutes so it's mostly quads for me. And you're right...there's a ton of shit in there you can hit.

 

[TripleOvertime]

I think you psyched yourself out and got your own self excited. Try to relax and don't be surprised if you are dragging around a dead leg for a few days.

 

[jshel12]

I never aspirate myself either. I just put a 1" 25g needle in my ass or delt and inject. Only had one hematoma in many, many years and it was most likely from shitty gear, or just so happened I got the hematoma after usuing one brand a few times over a weeks span. In all my other experiences over the years I've never had an issue. Just a little scar tissue in the glutes.

 

[SoCalSwole]

Yea you just freaked yourself out. You did not hit a vein. If you hit a vein you get a weird taste in your mouth and it makes your lips and face tingle and itch, depending on what is it might make you cough. Also when you take the pin out if there is no blood bleeding out after then no way yo hit a vein. If you hit a vessel or vein there will be bleeding when you take it out.

I remember my first pin, sweaty and heart pounding like a mother. Its normal, it gets easier.

Backloading is taking the plunger out of the insulin syringe. Setting it down on something sterile obviously. Drawing your oil with a normal needle and shooting it in the back of the insulin syringe. Then you stick the slin pin in your quad, take the plunger and insert it back in to inject. Pretty simple but just keep the plunger sterile bro. It is so much better this way. I've never had an issue. Plus it's less scar tissue.


The reason for this is you can not draw thick oils with these small guage slin pins. But you can inject with them. Thus the need for backloading.

 

[Paradeigma]

Bro that's a great idea.
Just be sure to tap any bubbles to the needle end and aspirate.

 

[Smash1969]

Cool man...I might try that next time. The pip is getting a lot better though. Maybe from the vagisil I got the other day Sorry for the thread hijack Para.

 

[aminoman74]

You will live don't worry.

 

[dagambd]

Maybe.....

 

[Lost Grizzly]

You better jack off before you die.

I have been on TRT for over a year and self inject like it is nothing. It doesn't bother me at all and I have hit stuff in my gluts mainly veins I assume because it bleed like a mother fucker at least twice. I have been using 23g 1 1/2". You will be fine.
