Bleeding is usually an injection spot and technique issue. Here's an injection tutorial video if you want to give IM another shot, this is the one I follow and I haven't had any issues with it. https://support.getplume.co/support/solutions/articles/72000544742-all-about-injections
They also have a SubQ one if you want to stick with that instead, though I'm going to give a bit more advice on IM injections since I have some experience with them. A little bit of bleeding is normal for IM, if too much came out you probably didn't do in in the optimal spot (vastus lateralis//outer thigh, middle third vertically, see picrel) but even if you do it right you might get unlucky and nick a blood vessel, but it's fine. If you follow the guide, the only concern with blood coming out is your medication coming out with it, which the z-track method helps prevent

Even then, if the bleeding or any potential pain bothers you I'd reccommend using the thinnest needle you can, which is going to be dependent on the viscosity of the ester you use. MCT oil has a very low one, so you can get away with drawing and injecting with 25g or 27g needles, others like Castor oil are thicker, so you might need lower caliber needles for them, though I wouldn't go any lower than 23g to prevent vial coring if yours uses a rubber stopper

If you do end up switching bak to IM, I'd stick to the thighs, I've read that glute shots aren't recommended anymore, if you pick the wrong spot you can actually fuck yourself up pretty bad bc of the sciatic nerve, same for delt shots but for a different nerve, thighs are by far the safest spot and if you follow the procedure you shouldn't face any major issues, just do thighs and switch legs for each injection to prevent scar tissue from forming and for the sake of proper absorption
