I did the sub q injection as normal and when i pulled the needle out, several large blood drops came out...this has never happened before.  Is this ok?  I didnt htink you could inject into or hit a vein.....

    As far as I know, there are no veins to hit there.  You don't even need to aspirate with sub-Q injects.  You may have hit some small capillaries.  I am a bleeder and bruiser with injections, so it is normal for me to bleed a bit.  Are you on baby aspirin?

    I think I was warned that this could happen, and it did a couple times.  Kind of a surprise when it did since usually there was no blood.

    It happens.  Not sure why, I just know it does and it's ok.

    I also think it's capillaries.  I bled a few times myself and bruised.  I was on baby aspirin.  I think it's normal and not anything to worry about.

    This. When you're on baby aspirin, you're more apt to bleed. You're OK. :)
