For me it depends upon where I put the needle. I do it in my stomach, but there are some places that feel like a bee sting when I barely touch the needle to my skin, and other places where I cannot feel a thing. If I do it in an area where it really hurts just barely pushing the needle, I move the needle slightly over, and try that place. There are some places that have more nerves/capillaries than others, I guess. I haven't had a bruise yet with this technique (it probably also helps that I have a nice jelly roll around my middle!)Baby Stephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752242861549122606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312773293800528294.post-68741387575525281792008-06-06T10:22:00.000-07:002008-06-06T10:22:00.000-07:00That is so great that you got what you wanted, jus...That is so great that you got what you wanted, just by asking! That is a good lesson learned...you can't get what you don't ask for. Good for you! I am starting my stims a week from today, so we are cycling around the same time. I try not to put much thought into the antral follicle numbers. My first cycle I had 14 and my second I had 17. But then when it was time to retrieve the eggs, they only got 7 the first time and 10 the second time...and both times were BFNs anyway. Because I have poor egg quality. All of this is a total mind-f*ck if you ask me. Even FSH numbers can drastically change from cycle to cycle...mine was 8.2 for the first cycle, 6.5 for the 2nd cycle, and this time around 7.5. Again, with my antral counts and low FSH -- one would think I would be in good shape! SO-- what gives?<BR/><BR/>I wish you ALL THE BEST for this cycle, I will be following you every step of the way.Baby Stephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752242861549122606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312773293800528294.post-71783854030348956302008-06-06T10:10:00.000-07:002008-06-06T10:10:00.000-07:00good for you superhero!my advice for follistim is ...good for you superhero!<BR/><BR/>my advice for follistim is "pinch and shoot." after almost 400 injections, you DO get used to it.<BR/><BR/>GOOD LUCK!

I'm the ultra opposite of assertive and it has haunted me on so many occasions. As far as the shots go, I don't have a ton of advice other than I found a spot on the outside of either thigh that hurt me the least. For some reason Menopur was the evil one for me, but I think most people have the worst time with Follistim (folliSTING, ugh). It was on the side of my thigh where I have a little extra padding (maybe half way between knee and hips, also a little closer towards the portion of your thigh that starts to curve towards your back thigh In other words not exactly the side of your thigh, but the side slightly back, if this makes any sense at all). But good luck and I hope you have a little more luck with the shots :-)sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816972200056579468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312773293800528294.post-70981831028157869282008-06-06T05:20:00.000-07:002008-06-06T05:20:00.000-07:00Yay for Super Assertive Infertile Girl!Regarding t...Yay for Super Assertive Infertile Girl!<BR/><BR/>Regarding the shots, I always ice before my sub-q shots and then ice a bit afterward. Normally I don't bruise or have pain, but every now and again I get a bad one. I think a painful shot or two is par for the course, but hopefully you can get it so that every shots doesn't hurt.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02799401502134619497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312773293800528294.post-5164341161759444782008-06-06T03:26:00.000-07:002008-06-06T03:26:00.000-07:00and regarding the follistim advice from above - i ...and regarding the follistim advice from above - i dont' know about that. My MD's office had a fit when the drug company shipped me my follistim without refridgeration - they made me get new stuff - said it wouldn't work if not kept cold. I even had to carry it in a cooler if I wasn't going to be home at 7pm. So I'm not sure about the advice about taking it out of the fridge the night before...that doesn't sound right to me. (but what do I know? the girl that gave you the advice looks like she got preggers - and me - I got nada - so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about). <BR/><BR/>good luck.Shaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711478154152788860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312773293800528294.post-14368124817973536562008-06-06T03:23:00.000-07:002008-06-06T03:23:00.000-07:00Tips regarding shots?Only tip is for the IM and SQ...Tips regarding shots?<BR/><BR/>Only tip is for the IM and SQ shots go as fast as possible - then the actual shot doesn't hurt.<BR/><BR/>I never had any trouble with pain after the SQ shots in my abdomen.<BR/><BR/>However, the progesterone IM shots in the butt - while they don't really hurt going in - they caused a lot of itching afterwards. I don't know how to fix this - I even experienced itching after my cycle failed and I stopped the shots - I itched for a couple weeks. (I'm overweight though - maybe the med didn't get all the way to my muscle and was in the fat - that could possibly explain my experience. Maybe I need about a 4inch needle next time!)<BR/><BR/>Good luck to you - Hope all goes well. - and good for you for standing up for yourself - i've found that the only person who will consistently stand up for yourself is yourself!Shaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711478154152788860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3312773293800528294.post-79859415302458703832008-06-06T01:39:00.000-07:002008-06-06T01:39:00.000-07:00Hi there - thanks for visiting my blog again.

I have a LOT of trouble with the IM PIO shots, but the belly shots aren't that bad for me. They sting a lot (and the ganarelix itches like a bitch afterwards), but I don't get a lot of bruising or bleeding. Perhaps because of my oh-so-cushioney fat layer on my belly?

No one knows us or cares about us the way we do.<BR/><BR/>As far as painless shots, I have been thru 5 IVFs and have absolutely nothing to offer. For me, they all just hurt. I tried all the tricks but still had pain and bruising. Ice, no ice, heat, no heat, fast, slow, limbering up before, going in cold, etc. etc. I say this not to discourage or depress you but just so you know that "it's not you" if you try something and it isn't the magic bullet. It can be frustrating; after a while I began to feel like people thought it was my own fault I was in pain. It wasn't! Everyone is just different. <BR/><BR/>I DO hope you find something that works for you.
