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

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

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.

Good Luck!

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..

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!
