It's called aspirate... Anytime anyone give you an injection they are suppose to aspirate to ensure that they are not (or are) in a vein.

Aspirating and getting blood proves you have hit the right spot. Then if the result is not satisfactory, you can adjust dose or strength of the trimix.

I know I'm in the right spot when the plunger almost pushes itself.

Before implant and when I used Trimix, I used an Autoject. No way could I aspirate any blood before injection. Reading these replies I sense a contradiction. Being able to aspirate blood could indicate being in a vein or artery or is it in the cavernosa? (sp) My Dr. didn't mention aspiration.

Larry and Wyoman. the blood comes from the cavernosa. I did not aspirate before. I just wanted assurance that I hit the cavernosa so I aspirate a little blood after injection.

That's strange you should have only been able to draw blood from a vein or artery. :)
