New vial, forgot to swab

[Shiznitzz]

I have a vial of test and just now loaded the syringe with 1ml. I used a pulling needle and switched it out with a smaller injecting needle, the problem is I forgot to swab the vial before pulling the serum.

The vial is new, hasnt been opened and I switched out the needle, if I continue steril procedures prior to injection would that be safe or should I dispose of the serum? I would think it would be safe since I switched the needle and it was sealed prior. Just looking for opinions.

Thanks.

You should be good if it was a new closed vial

 

[Shiznitzz]

damn bro.. ... .... ..... ........

A pro tipped me off on the draw pin. I was using two pins for every shot. The pin that goes into me is fresh out of the wrapper..and the draw pin has only been in the oil. Dude was competitive in the early 90s and hes been doing it like that for 30 years. Ill take his advice

What do you do with the drawing pin between shots? Does it just sit out for days or?

Wip it off with a sterile pad with alcohol and recap it with the cap from the inject pin i just opened.

Guess i could go back to 2 pins and starting wiping vial and hip..just got stuck in a bad habit i suppose.

I haven't swabbed in over 8 years on TRT.

Type 1 diabetic here, had it since I was a baby. I use the same needles for up to a month at a time (til the syringe bends). I don't own any cotton swabs and have never used one since my parents stopped giving me my shots. I'm approaching 30 and, to date, have never really had an infection from any injection, and I take 4-6 a day. Back in my more reckless days, I'd even throw the vial in my pocket all day for weeks on end. Seriously!

Maybe things are different with anabolics but....I can't really think of a good reason why that be. Just posting to let you know you are probably good.

to each his own i guess. but that one time you get MERSA on you ... you are fuking done not swabbing first. BTW Viatrophy you inject sub q ... we are talking about intra muscular and there tends to be alot of blood.. you think reusing the needle that long is sanitary? fek i would swap out needles every time just for the comfort of a sharp needle. i get that you use a smaller needle too so maybe it doesnt bother you in your stomach fat, but for most of us injecting into muscle bellies the though of a dull needle is blah... less pip as well with new and clean needles

Oh absolutely, man, for sure. I wouldn't reuse the needles for anything if I wasn't doing sub q.

Haha, Not trying to gross anyone out, just wanted to reassure OP that he probably got away with it. The surface of the vial is probably the cleanest part of it, and remember it's not like you're rubbing your syringe across the top of the vial or anything, you're just jabbing it in.

You've made a lot of bad decisions already

Like what ?
I have ran tren transdermal before so I know what to expect , what bad decisions ?

Like not having a clue what you're getting into. Rotate injection sites. Especially since you're gonna be feeling it in every muscle group. Lol

Tren a should be pinned daily. You're gonna feel like a pin cushion in about a week.

Anyways thank u so basically rotate till pain go away , got it.

swollen red raised bump at injection site.. shoulders hurt to pin. try your left and right butt cheek. on the side. up higher towards the hip.

 

[Quest]

I use one alcohol swab. Open place on vial
Open 3ml 23 g syringe twist off 23. With 23 between fingers open 18 and twist on. Place 23 on alchohol pad and draw medicine. Pull a ml of air and switch needles. Push out any air swab hip with same alcohol pad.

Ok awesome no red bump or swollen just sore and arm feel kinda numb like super slight numb

 

[Shiznitzz]

Tbh, if you can't handle two weeks of pip you probably shouldnt be injecting anything into your body

 

[hamdysayed]

I’ll deal with it ,I just didn’t expect this to last 2 weeks I didn’t say I can’t handle it .
The numb sensation is that normal ?

 

[xR1pp3Rx]

wait its been sore for 2 weeks already?

 

[hamdysayed]

2 days but he saying it will be sore for 2 weeks

Yeah the pain receptors get dulled a bit. Eventually it toughens up the muscle there. In both good and bad ways. Try to rotate sites as often as possible or scar tissue will develop. You’ll have hard golf ball in your shoulder or butt cheek.

Damn
Ok aside from glutes what other good sites

 

[xR1pp3Rx]

traps, chest ... rotate as needed...
personally i shoot glutes almost always. if i have a smaller shot say a 1/2 to 1 cc, then i will poke the shoulder. i dont care for the feeling of anything more in the delts.

Yeah that’s exactly what I have 1 cc 1/5 inch 30 g

 

[Old Witch]

How long does it take you to pin a cc with those? As in, how long does it take you to push in the oil?

Umm when I did it last time it took about 2 to 3 mins with me kinda forcing it lil

Buy some 27g. It will take it down to about a minute and I’ll bet it actually hurts less overall. All that time and pushing and your hand better be real steady or you’re doing more damage to the tissue than you need to.
