Like the other girls have said, it's very normal to bleed a little and bruise up. I ended up only injecting on the right side of my tummy because every time I did the injections on the left I always managed to bruise myself. I once somehow managed to get a golf sized bruise from that tiny needle! It also seemed to be a little more painful if I did it on the left, but it was probably all in my head, lol.

Best of luck with your first cycle! I hope it's your lucky cycle

Oh, if I ever started to bleed a little I very quickly held my finger over the tiny hole to stop any further bleeding to make sure that none of the drug seeped out with the blood. Probably makes no difference, but it made me feel better.
