I hit a blood vessel this morning when pinning 50 mg of NAD. I felt something a little more than tissue when pinning and a small silver dollar sized area turned black and blue almost instantly. I did everything the way I always do, but a little unlucky. No pain no weird side effects. Just a huge bruise and the gross feeling on hitting the small blood vessel.

It happens. I've done it twice in a row now and before that not even once for 6 months.
 
Not gross just different. The plunger on my pen didn't go as easy as usual but I didn't want to re-stab myself so I just continue only slower. Not as big bruise this time. It's on my leg and those are bruised all over anyway.
 
So, are you guys saying that you injected right into the blood vessel, or that you just pierced/nicked it?

For me I pierced it. It bled and turned into a bad bruise instantly. I also slowed. I’ve heard if you go into the vein you will get super sick and it can incapacitate you super fast. I’m glad I know what it feels like. I think if it happened again I’d pull the needle out and redo with another dose and syringe in a different area.

I did the same with glutathione IM in my quad this week, pulled the needle out and the blood came dripping out 😂 nasty bruise immediately. It didn’t feel any different than normal for me though 🤷🏼‍♀️
 
I did a similar thing injecting testosterone. There is also a very small chance you may inject trace amounts directly into your bloodstream. This has happened as well but the side effects vary. With testosterone you have a respiratory reaction where you cough as if you're breathing poison. Was quite alarming. Lasted about 2-3 minutes. My Dr verified this as well as a Gemini summary.

About half of the cartridges have the plunger installed upside down. Some pens don't apply enough force to move them (especially the V2 models).

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up. This is s mounjaropen I use right now. 4 doses then throw in the trash.

Oh, that happened to me too with the Kwikpen. It wasn't quite that quick with those 0.6 ml doses. It's much better now that I make my own pens, no more bumps, and it costs 15€ instead of 250€ a month.

I did it once too. Bruise lasted a while.

Same, I use 31g 8mm syringes.

How long did the bruise stay there? I’m guessing since I had a few bruises earned by my sports days and dirt bike riding about 2-3 weeks.

I've done it, had a nasty bruise on my thigh. It was when I had already started my journey in peps and hubby was still pondering the idea of it. It made him ponder a lil longer before he finally agreed to try em 😂😂😂
