PIO Shot Question (TMI warning)

yarnymommy

So, the last few days I've had an issue giving myself (yup, figured that one out) my PIO shot.  Hubs was having this too the last couple he did for me.

So, stick, draw back to make sure no blood, inject, pull out, and SQUIRT!!!! a SHOT of what looks like blood and PIO spurts out of the injection site, literally onto the floor.  Dribble afterward, and then it stops.  I've called dr/nurse, and am waiting for a call back.  Anyone have this happen?

Yea, it's nothing to worry about.  I once had a literal geyser of blood shoot out but it's fine.

I've been doing all kinds of injections for a long time (insulin/Enbrel/IVF/ and I'm a nurse) if you are able too, I always prefer to slowly count to 5 and then pull the needle out. It gives the injected substance a little time to disperse and then it's less likely to squirt out but if not, it's nbd.

yes I had it happen with PIO a few times, it was always weird b/c no blood had come back when I initially pulled back on the syringe. However, no long lasting effects except a freaked out DH.
