@littlelady77Are you still on PIO? If so, how is it going?
I'll start in a few weeks. I'm nervous because H has several work trips coming up, so I'll have to do some of the injections myself. I can't reach my left hip, so I'll do thigh. Ugh. I am scared.

Re: LittleLady
At first they were pretty painful after the fact but now I have the system down and it's rare when I "feel" the shot after I take it. Must do:
- warm up the liquid before hand by putting between your boobs or on your skin somewhere
- rotate from side to side each day
- massage the area for 15 minutes afterwards
If you do those things they are totally doable.
FYI- Progesterone is the hormone responsible for early pregnancy bloating. Get ready to feel fat as soon as you start taking them!
On another note- I'm rooting for you!
When you do them yourself, do you do them in your hips/butt? I'm fine reaching the right side because I'm right handed, but there is no way I'm doing the shot with my left hand.
Ugghhhhh, I am scared!
Thank you, by the way. I'm hoping to follow in your footsteps and get twins.

So I have a messed up/crippled left hand. It is impossible to give myself a shot in the butt with my left hand.
When I do them myself I try to do them on the right side by laying down on my tummy and reaching around to stab myself in the but with my right hand. When I have to do it on my left side I lay on my right side and just reach over the front of my body with my right hand and get my hip/butt area.
If I can do it- you can do it!
