Thank you so much for this. We went to the doc today and they showed us exactly what you did but it was a lot less nerve wracking after watching you. One question, my doc didn,mention anything about heat - is that something you do before the shot?

thanks so much for posting the vid. We just did the first injection tonight after watching it. Thanks again

Videos like this are great and very helpful. The only thing is, I thought from the title that she was really really giving herself an injection! She isn't - her husband is helping. I actually (and I know I'm not the only person who had to), really gave myself my own IVF type injections. So it's certainly possible if for some reason you don't have someone to help. The bullseye helped me. You just have to really twist around to reach the injection site. After the first time, no big deal!

Did my first shot this morning, will continue for the next 18 weeks! Thanks for your video! It was nice to know what to expect. It's a big needle but it wasn't as bad as expected.

Thanks Poglme,On my first IVF cycle I did indeed heat it and I found it didn't really help. I think everyone has to find their own way and try out different things. This was my 5th IVF cycle and it's like second nature to me and I have no issues anymore with pain, I rarely get bruises, never get lumps and never have problems walking the next day. I wish I could say we didn't have a lot of practice, but I've had at least 60 of these shots, and counting...

Hmm... How long did you have to do PIO? Because I'm on week 12 and i have to say, your method would never have worked for me. I DID circle the appropriate area, but I injected myself, plunged slowly, and if I don't have lots of heat before and after I form golf ball sized lumps under my skin. It's great that someone thought to make a video, but NEWBIES.. please at least heat the area before. You'll regret it around week 5 if you don't.

Hi- my DH always checks for air, but for some reason he did not do it this one time while the camera was on. I have no idea why. |
