Is this air bubble in my dose okay?
I am now two weeks on T and with both doses, I've had a air bubble in the syringe that I can't seem to fully push out (both photos are from my first dose but the bubble from my second dose looked to be the exact same size). I haven't had any post injection site issues, just slightly sore for about three days after. The steps I do before injecting myself are from: https://youtu.be/xAoYjFmZ4N0?si=Fmgpl_bUSQ4TGNMi <---- for those that don't want to watch the video, these are the steps:
- pull 20 units of air into syringe
- poke rubber at 45⁰ degree angle, then push straight down into vial
- push the air into the vial, flip it upside down and pull t past my dose (I pull it to about 70 units)
- push the t back into the vial until I reach my dose (I don't hear the 'tink' noise in the video)
- push the syring until a small drop of t forms on the needle
then follow the steps to inject (also yes I am sanitizing my vial and area before injecting)
the syringes i use are 29g insulin syringes that have the needle built in so there's no need for me to swap needles like in the video. I didn't have any pain for my first injection but I did in my second , that was more so because I switched injecting sides, I had an equal amount of soreness after to my first one however.
