Small bruise after pinning

Nothing to worry about, it just happens sometimes. Not common but also not unusual. When I began back in January it occurred more often than it does now after nine months, even though I inject four to six times daily now. Maybe the ghk/kpv has made me less prone to bruising than before, though I could be imagining that part.

Appreciate the reassurance. I don't recall doing anything different from previous days. Could it be that the needle hit a small vein? I'm the type who needs to understand the reason behind things. Thanks a lot.

Like others mentioned, nothing to be concerned about. It mostly happened to me when I first started. Your picture doesn't show stretch marks, but I try to steer clear of those areas anyway and rotate sites. Doesn't seem related to technique and it doesn't change how the medication gets absorbed. I had a pretty bad one during my second week.

This happens to me quite a bit, sometimes even bigger bruises, especially on my quads, though I'm injecting nine to twelve times a day. They fade away on their own and aren't anything to stress over. Very minor, just relax and don't worry.

You hit a blood vessel. Happens to me occasionally too. I don't see any reason to be concerned about it.

Why that many times each day? Curious if you don't mind sharing. Thanks to everyone!

The speed at which the shot goes in seems to matter. I'm on clopidogrel so I already bruise easier, yet going slower cut down how often it happened. Harmless but having a bunch of marks across the stomach doesn't look good.

It shows up for me if the spot is a little too low on the belly or love handles. An inch or two higher and I avoid them. Probably just small vessels getting nicked. Nothing to worry about.

Thank you all! I'll try slowing down a little and check whether it helps. Seems like something normal and harmless anyway so that covers it. Thanks again.

It happened to me once.
