I was curious.. since i'm a newb only on my 1st week of my 1st Test E cycle, I was wondering... Last night my inject went smooth with no pain, but i think i pinned a bit low and possibly missed the upper quadrant of my glute and it seems like theres a bit of oil under my sub Q fat level, not hott to the touch or solid just a bit sore.. since i messed up will it be a waste this pin or will it eventually seep into the muscle fibers?
Unsuccesful injections?

It wont be a waste it will be fine, are you using the same site each time?
Well I wont be but i did the first week of 2 injects relatively close together, could that be why? just irritated muscle tissue from the new inject prior to completely being healed from the first?
Or is everything fine and is it the oil in the muscle tissue just gatering prior to being absorbed? I know i'm most likely going to be sore being new and all I was just making sure that the shot wasnt a waste and or that the fluid will not progress into an infection or something bad..

It will be fine, dont worry. If your shooting twice a week then the site will just be irritated, the first shot will still be held at the injection site. Its when the site goes rock hard, hot to the touch, itches like hell and you run a slight fever, thats when infection sets in. I dont think you have a thing to worry about, alternate sites.

I had the same worries when I first ran a test cycle, but all was well and nothing to bother about.....
That makes sense! thanks for the peace of mind bro... I just noticed that it conforms its shape to basically how ever im positioned when sitting so its def. not hard by any means, red , hot or painful just tender i guess is the word. Thanks again bud.. any suggestions to speed up the dissipation of the oil? Ive read some say massaging the area helps and some say its unsafe and can be counter effective? I did tons of research before getting ON but its these types of things you dont know to seek prior to actually injecting and learning your body.

I recommend always switching body parts with each injection..glute, other glute, thigh, other thigh, delt, other delt.etc. That way there is chance of what your feeling, it ll avoid building up the eventual scar tissue as well.
And massaging can t hurt..it can help with absorption..somewhat..I like it when my girl massages the inject site, especially when it s high on my thigh... warm bath while massaging helps as well...imo

Warm bath helps me, should help it shift.
all great info! I appreciate the info fellas...
so basically an infection comes on with increasing pain and a hard lump with redness and heat?
thats good news cause mine is just a soft mushy pocket thats not red or painful other than being sore as i expected...
Whats a good method of determining where in the quadrant of the glute will be the ideal spot? I think I was going to low now that I read about it.

If you imagine a vertical line down the middle of your glute and then a horizontal one across the same, its the upper, outer section you want to pin.
If you have some gear that leaked between the muscle and subQ area you probably didnt go deep enough into the muscle. How long was the pin you used?
The reason you wanna pin in the upper quadrant is because of the sciatic nerve not because it is absorbed any better. Pinning a bit low is probably no the issue....

bro pin in your quads. I started my cycle monday and pinned my right quad monday, and left quad late last night. here's what i did and i had no pain at all!
1. heat up test vial with heating pad
2. inject slowly into quad
3. after the inject put the heating pad back on the injection site and massage
of course remember to swab the site with alcohol pad before and after the injection, swab the top of the vial, etc. I inject with 25g 1" pins and it has been PAINLESS! maybe it's just the ambro, it's smoother than you girl' ass bro

Really? i'm using a 23g 1.5inch pin, but I feel less fat towards the top of my glute so you probably have a point. Im sure pinning almost the exact same spot as last time didnt help either, is a build up possible since its enan? And what exactly happens to leaked gear?
