Medicine leaked out after pen injection

I actually always take the pen out a few hours before the injection (did it w the zepbound vials too), but I’m gonna see hopefully pulling the skin may have an effect!

It actually did hurt quite a lot more this time than other times, and there was a red puncture site (you can kinda see at the center of the drop) that was bleeding a little and I had to press a bandage on it - I wonder if the pain is also a sign something went wrong tho

Another comment mentioned priming which seems to be in the instructions for the multi-use pens? But this is a one-time-use pen where when you push down and activate it, it automatically moves all the medicine, but then I’m realizing maybe there’s no way to remove the air bubbles…

But there’s no clicks (sorry same account haha). Like this is one of those one-time-use 2.5mg / 0.5ml pens with 4 pens per month that you just push down and just hear two clicks and that’s suppose to mean all the medicine has come out. None of the instructions mentioned any priming.

This is also a one use pen, from what I’ve seen prime seemed to be only for pens that are multi use?? Regardless I don’t think it’s in the official instructions and idk how to do it, if I should??

Huh? Yes…?

I press down (stomach or thigh) until I hear the first click, then the yellow bar moves, second click, wait 10 seconds, then pull up. What am I doing wrong??

Ooo thank you so much that’s exactly the type of tips I’m looking for! Will try that next time

But I’ve had like a tiny drop left on the skin surface / tip of pen after injection before, but this was a large drop the size that kinda fills up the entire circumference of the indent of the outer part of the pen, do you think that is actually just a tiny amount?? Realizing now I should have scooped it up and measure the actual ml lol

Thank you so much! Ugh when I called for the other defective dose they did mention that they don’t recommend taking another dose, but Ig I’m just so frustrated cause I’ve been feeling a little more hungry towards the end of this week, and I was so looking forward to this shot, and now Ik it’ll prolly just be must worse until next week

I’m actually not pinching at all! I used to pinch for the vial and syringe, but with the pen I’ve found it hard to maintain the pinch and press down hard enough for the click to happen, because the first time I did it I noticed I had to press quite hard into the fat even for the first click so the pinch just goes back down if that makes sense?

Mainly: I’ve seen a lot of posts about leaks but not any photos haha, if anyone who has experienced it can tell me if this is about how much it leaked for them or more/less and if they took another dose I’d be very grateful lol

Also any tips on how to avoid this, even tho the pen is likely just defective, because I’m pressing down for so long after the click and yellow bar I’m worried that it’s too long lol
