Doing injections yourself.

Post by Nick »

Hya everyone,<br><br>I am stimulating now, and do the injections myself and thought I would share my tips for anyone else in the same position.<br><br>My DH often prepares the injections which I find helps a lot, as I don't have to faff about for too long. He has in the past done them, but occasionally I have found it is a lot easier to do it my self!! <br><br>Once I have the injection, I slap the area I am about to inject into. That way it takes away the tingley feeling.. if you know what I mean. Then whack it in - and SLOWLY - VERY SLOWLY release the fluid. <br><br>When I did my first cycle, I had bruises every where, and I think I did it too quickly...<br><br>Really should join you guys on the NCB. Day 7 scan on Monday. Hope I have some bleedin' eggs. 2nd cycle was abandoned in June! AAAAAAAAARGH!<br><br>Good luck and hope this helps those without pens.<br>xxx Nicky xxx
