Bruise

I had my second loading dose almost two weeks ago. I just now noticed a bruise at one of the injection sites. Is that ordinary?

Yeah. It seems every one out of two injections I do I get a bruise right at the injection site. It seems to be normal from what I've read. I don't always bruise.
 
I got bruises in both injection sites on the second loading dose...none with the first four and none with last week's single pen.
 
I bruise almost every time. I use pen injectors. I don't see bruising if I go through the trouble of applying an ice pack immediately after injecting, though.
