Do you get bruising/soreness? My belly (taking subQ shots currently, start POI soon) is bruised up a bit and a little sore. Wondering what to expect with POI. I forgot lumps!
Thanks for this! I'm with Circle too and I'm not to the injection parts yet so I like to see someone else doing them so I'm prepared! Congrats on both surro babies!
Thanks for providing this video... I applied my first injection today and I did use the needle that came with the injection yes the big needle.. .... Yes I know it hurts :( .. I am going now to get small needles...... Maria
since this video I had completed a second surrogacy, and gave birth Aug 28, 2009. I didn't use ice the 2nd go, I was just too impatient, plus it felt the same either way in my opinion.
forgot to add - I used Progesterone in Sesame oil1 - 2ml injections w/ a 22g 1 1/2" needle. We used CFA (connecticut fertility) each time, and got pregnant the first time, both surrogacies. I don't think I would ever use another clinic, I ♥ CFA, and my agency Circle Surrogacy
I work in UK with IVF and im progesterone. I would say the lady is using natural progesterone (Gestone?), using the US dose of 100mg a day (2ml / 2cc).
Thanks for this! Did ur IVF work? FYI I use vials of Gestone. I put the vial in my bra approx 15 mins b4 injecting & put an ice-pack on my behind at same time. Warming the PIO a bit longer makes it runnier & so easier to inject.You may feel a scratch as the needle goes in but apart from that,it's painless as ur numb from the ice pack.The muscle aches later though, so 2nite after the jab I used a sticky heated patch for muscle strains.Will let you know if it works or not! Good luck to all!
don't use ice - it cools the tissue and so makes any muscle more rigid and so more painful when oil goes in and spreads muscle fibres apart. Also, if walk around after injection - avoiding staying still, it helps.
I just wanted to say thank you for posting this. I have to do my own too, and seeing your video made me so much less anxious about it. Good luck to you.
thank you so much for posting the vid. We found it to very helpful. You are so brave to do it yourself. Just had my first injection tonight after watching your post, and you made it look so easy, that really helped me to not make such a big deal out of it. thanks again
Thanks for posting. It gives me courage for tonight when I have to do my first PIO injection. Please remind folks to wash hands before starting and to use alcohol wipe on the counter top surface before starting. that is what I was told anyway!
Helpful tip: Hold syringe in you hand for a minute just prior to injection. It makes the oil thinner and helps for a MUCH faster injection time. Also rubbing the area in circles with a hot damp washcloth eases the sting and helps make sure that there are no lumps from the medicine.
I used to put it the syringe in my bra or under my arm to help warm it up.. but then I just got tired of waiting, I had to do it before going to work in the morning, and I couldnt see the difference when I stopped "warming" it before injecting it. ... and having to do the injections for 12 weeks doesnt help with the lumps.. I tried the rubbing to reduce lumps, but that didnt help much either..
Decapping and recapping your second needle, the one you use to inject yourself, runs the risk of accidentally bumping the needle against the cap.
You want to first clean the site which you inject, then change your first needle for the second, this way you won't have to recap and decap so much. It also allows the site to dry off a little so the injection doesn't burn.
If the needle bumps against the cap, or even rubs against it slightly, it will lose it's sharpness.
Congrats on your positive betas and very cute ultrasound pics!!
I feel for you sweetie, I did 12 weeks of PIO in my thighs once a day and twice a day Heparin sub-q in my stomach. We ladies go through a lot to have babies, don't we?!?
Need sth more sexy babe...u should have shown ur complete ass.

hmm. I only recapped it 2 times... the second time was out of the norm.. but I can cut out the one recapping and no recapp at all
flamechick6 3 years ago
you shouldn't re-cap over and over again.. the needle tip can rub against the inside and dull the point.
