Hi Rachel – thank you for the comment.

It happens to me about every 3-4 months (once every 30-40 site changes). The first time I freaked out as I’m not a huge fan of blood, especially my own.

I do notice that it happens more often with one location, which is just below my pants line. I put the site on my hip just below where my belt or pants would be. That location seems to be the culprit. I don’t really just my buttocks because I can’t reach it by myself. And, my wife would probably get too much enjoyment out of it.

I rotate 4 locations with a set staying for 3 days at a time. Left ab, left hip, right ab, right hip, start over. This rotation gives a 9 day rest to each location. I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if I can help.
