blood in syringe after sub-q injection?

When I was giving my menupur tonight it was harder than normal to give and when I was done and pulled out the syringe there was blood in it (more than just a drop).  Is this anything I should be worried about?

    This happened to me a few times, and it formed a lump under the skin.

    It was fine, i checked w RE.  You prob just hit a small blood vessel.  It was more alarming, than anything else.

    Good luck!

    I was on it for the last cycle too and never had this happen, I think my nurse skills must need a tune up.  Don't worry about menopur all the meds are doable!

    Yes it was alarming.. actually scared the crap out of me!  Oh how fun IF is :)  I'm glad to know your RE said it was no big deal!

    That happened to me a couple of times too.  I asked my mom, who is a nurse, and she said it is fine, probably nicked a blood vessel.

    Its no problem...it just means you hit a vein and it will take slightly longer for the medication to run through your system but it won't harm you.  It can be helpful to pull back just slightly before injecting to check for blood.  If you see blood then just move the needle over slightly.
