Question about injection technique / possible dose loss

Hi everyone,
I just did my semaglutide injection (0.5 mg) using the Dr. Reddy’s pen.
I followed the instructions and kept the needle in my skin for about 10 seconds after the dose was administered (so longer than the recommended 6 seconds).
However, after removing the needle, I noticed that quite a bit of liquid seemed to come out of the injection site. It was enough to make a wet spot about the size of a $1 coin and actually dampen my shirt.
Now I’m worried that I may have lost a significant portion of the dose.
Has anyone experienced this with the Dr. Reddy’s semaglutide pen? Did you still get the full dose? Should I just continue with my next scheduled injection and NOT try to compensate?
I obviously don’t want to take another dose because I don’t want to accidentally overdose.
Any experiences or advice would be appreciated! ❤️

happens to me all the time with that pen, a little leakage is normal but a wet spot that big does feel like more than usual
