I accidentally pulled the sharp off the first try while pulling on the cap to draw my hormone. It was mildly anxiety-inducing to try and weasel the cap off only. How annoying!!

Yeah that would totally bother me. I was taught the correct way to remove a cap but it’s still annoying to mess with muscle memory.

I am very ungraceful. Once I managed to slice myself open with the needle while pulling the cap off. 😭

Oh I totally do too. I used nursing tutorials to break bad habits and that makes it a *bit* easier.

That sounds like a great idea! Is it anything online that you could possibly share? 👀

I was sent flying solo with injections so learned from a nurse on YT, ehe..

I feel that pain. This is not a human doctor but the same thing applies, and she does it the way I was shown, by getting your finger in between the base of the needle and the cap and letting it slide off. https://youtu.be/McNHLZlNoiA?si=Er7uBlcNV112QItQ

I hate slip-tips with a passion. Ask for luer-locks next time you go in.

Yeah I'll definitely ask next time. Thank you!!
