Got labs drawn Thursday morning and this is the bruising I woke up to this morning. Didn't really notice it yesterday. Any of you guys ever have this issue.
 
When you bruise like that, it typically means your vein leaked afterward into the skin. It isn't normally linked to being on or off cycle. It's just what happened during the blood draw. I get a bruise when the nurse taking the blood doesn't do a good job and has to poke around to find a vein.

And I should add that if you are on any kind of substance to control cholesterol, you will bruise more easily.
 
Never really thought about that. I'm not on cholesterol meds. Just didn't think I bruised that easily when I wasn't on gear. Nurse hit the vein really good.
 
I have had it happen. Could be not enough pressure held on the site after the draw. Blood leaking under the skin as BigZ said. If its painful or warm to the touch you should let your Dr. know.

Doesn't hurt or feel warm. Just an eye sore & has a tendency to draw attention at work since I wear short sleeves
 
ya know i can jab my ass til the cows come home, but have someone take my blood makes me weak lol, the whole getting into a vein freaks me out lol
