Air Bubble?Blood?

[TRTony]

So i had my nephew help me aspirate today.no blood in syringe but a air bubble formed.i injected anyway.is that bad? also when i pulled needle out a small drop of blood formed where i stuck myself,im assuming thats just from the needle breaking skin?

The air bubble is common, no issue there. I bleed about 50% of the time when I pin. What I've started to do is leave the syringe in for about 45 seconds afterwards, this seems to help. Also, it is very easy to create a suction when pulling the needle out, this increases the chance of bleeding too. Try pushing the plunger all the way in to prevent the suction.
