I have been taking my injections for about a week now, and the skin on my stomach is getting very tender. We have been rotating sides each night, but last nights shots were very painful. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to minimize this discomfort??

Yes, I most definitely felt nauseous taking the pill...like you, I hadn't taken it before. The only thing that I did was to take it in the evenings, like an hour or two before bed. That seemed to help things a little bit. Also, not letting my stomach get completely empty helped a little bit too!

Babywishin926, I know that I most definitely feel awful around people who have "accidental" babies.
