if you have the oil, please for your sake, do not put in fridge! It has to make its way through your muscle and will be painful. If you have suppositories, I remember having to put those in fridge or they'd threaten to melt.

good luck.

Definiately NOT the fridge OUCH!! and i highly recomend sitting on a heating pad both before and after the shot to minimize soreness. I was having real trouble and when i started doing the heating pad before it was a miracle.

no refridgeration needed, but shouldn't be kept warmer than 86 degrees, preferably 77 F...just according to the box. Good luck

anyone giving themselves progesterone injections ?? I am doing my own for a few days while out of town for work. had them in the backside now in the leg... giving the injection at the same time every night, but just wondering if changing location of injection site affects it in any way???

Good luck on those betas!!!!
