self-administered progesterone shots anyone?

[gigi]

I am traveling for 3 days (alone) during at which time I will either have to self-administer the progesterone shots or find some poor soul willing to do it for me. Has anyone had to self-administer these shots before? If so, any hints on achieving success? thanks.

A friend of mine who done IVF, had to do her own intermuscular jabs a lot of the time as her DH travelled alot.

She only got to embryos and 9 months later she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy.

She just cleaned her spot and shot like a dart, I think she used a mirror too.

Good Luck

I was in the same as you. I had to travel so I had to administer it myself...started practicing 2 days b4 with DH by my side. It was fine. No issues. You will be ok

i start doing them next friday thru monday....i'm really a bit freaked since everytime my dh gives them it stings. are they suppose to sting or is he doing it to quickly?

it does sting a bit. pushing the oil real slow will help but it is still not pleasant for sure...

take care

When you give yourself the shot do you put in in your hip or upper thigh? My DH isn't going to be home til super late tonight and I want to surprise him by having it done but I'm scared Thanks

Wish i would have got your email earlier. i put it in my hip, on my right side since I can see it better. It actually hurts less when i do it. I found that my husband thrusts the needle in quickly because it's easier for him...but more painful for me. so i'm digging doing this on my own. who knew? good luck.
