IVF: injection sites/Decapeptyl

Hi all, not sure if anyone else is doing the IVF thing but if you are and you're like me (crazy needle phobic), then the least painful injection site for me has definitely been my top/inner thigh. I pinch a decent amount of chubb-making sure the "roll" is tight and a quick stab and slow inject and its over before you know it

    HAHA! It's amazing to hear you talking like this about needles :lol: *actual round of applause*

    I was on very specific instruction to inject close to the site, below my belly button. I once hit a vessel and the whole right side of my tummy went black. It was tender (whole area was the entire time) but wasn't dangerous, but I sure as heck freaked out over it!! Just in case you end up with a big black area after injecting, yeah, that happens. :lol: Memories of how scared I was over that just seem so funny now.

    *shudder* the worst part was the counting, having the stupid things sit inside me so the dose wouldn't just squirt back out. BLAH. BLAAAAAAH.
