sounds like you might have hit a vein and it bled under the skin.
are you on any blood thinners?
make sure to hold pressure for a couple of min's after you inject.
does it hurt? make sure there's no reddness or red streaking. that could mean an infection and you'd need to see the dr.

They are sub q, I'm not on blood thinners, it does hurt, it's on my stomach over an area that has stretch marks from having kids so the streaks are from that, and hubby said last night that it's not hot at all.
Thank you so much for your advice!
