I do it in my tummy (that's what the nurse told me). I hope you'll find the way to make it less painful for you.Rosachkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13009081846548536990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581633041541366447.post-47884675469883852042010-12-06T15:02:30.186-08:002010-12-06T15:02:30.186-08:00Thanks ladies!!!!

It didn't hurt at all going in, and then I SLOWLY injected the gel like medication. When it would start to burn I would stop and the go again... much better! I'll let you know how tomorrow goes. I do the gonal f tonight... that one doesn't hurt a bit!My infertile Confesstionshttp://myinfertileconfessions.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581633041541366447.post-86458982885194144392010-12-06T14:10:08.574-08:002010-12-06T14:10:08.574-08:00I second the repronex pain!!

The one thing that might make you feel better is that the repronex got better over time (didn't hurt as much as the days went by) so hopefully the menopur will be the same.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03543480612775718706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581633041541366447.post-61442067278914288542010-12-06T11:43:09.175-08:002010-12-06T11:43:09.175-08:00I haven't done Menopur, but Repronex hurts too...I haven't done Menopur, but Repronex hurts too...and definitely causes those little "gel" pockets that hurt like hell!

But yes I agree- you should call your nurse and see if you can get better needles. I have a few little bruises but no bumps or knots. Sorry you are struggling with them- it's no fun. Hope it gets better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581633041541366447.post-62999902652164368492010-12-06T09:34:54.837-08:002010-12-06T09:34:54.837-08:00I think that you should call your nurse and speak...I think that you should call your nurse and speak with her about this. We mixed all the drugs together for ours - Lupron, Menopur, and Gonal-f then just did one shot. It did burn but I never had bumps or knots. We did all of mine in my stomach b/c I have plenty of "padding" there. I found that it hurts worse the closer to the middle we got and less the further out we went. My husband had to do mine. I am a big wimp. I am so sorry you are having such a hard time. Our needles were the insulin needles and they were pretty dull too and sometimes he had to try twice to get it to go in but it really wasn't that bad and I had my eyes closed, so that helped. Your nurse may be able to order you some better needles.Embyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026694685055132378noreply@blogger.com
