I've been using Tymlos for seven months. My method is to insert the needle, hold down the button for a count of ten, release the button, then withdraw the needle. If you keep the button pressed when withdrawing, of course you're going to see a drop at the end of the needle.
I occasionally see bubbles, but usually I can tap them out. Note that it's easier to tap them out when the needle is uncovered -- after all, the air bubble needs to escape somehow!
The pen actually has extra doses (35? Just guessing), so if you waste a little, it's no big deal.

@njx58 do you pinch up? And if so when do you release the pinch?
If the full dose that has been created with a certain number of clicks, or the full dose itself, I don't see why continuing to hold the button down would cause a drop of medicine.
I pinch up belly fat, insert needle, and release the pinch as I finish injecting to avoid squeezing medicine out. I did this with insulin as well.
