I’ve certainly procrastinated on infusing but only once did I not get factor for a bleed. We were traveling outside of the US and left my factor back home. 🤬

I don’t recommend this by the way.

I would strongly discourage trying to push through a bleed and not infuse. Especially if it is in any major joint. You will definitely pay for it when you get older and you develop severe arthritis in the joint and being in pain is a regular part of your day.
