@vlagrl35 - Sorry you were having a rough day yesterday. Hugs... Hope things were better today.
@ilovewhitevinotoo - I haven't gone down that path, but it would seem that your feelings are totally normal. I hope there's someone for you to talk to thats been there.
AFM - These PIO shots SUCK big time. The actual shot has been fine (just feel pressure after the initial poke), but my tush is so sore! I'm trying to warm the shot before, getting my weight off the side getting the shot, rubbing it for a few minutes after, and then applying heat for at least an hour. I've also been trying to walk more and do squats (recommended by RE's office). I'm sure that I'll just get used to it, but these first couple of days are terrible! Would appreciate any pointers!
Hard to believe FET is this Friday already/finally! Then, a 3-day weekend of laying around to let those embies snuggle in!

I found that rubbing the area and adding heat made me feel worse, almost like a bruise. This isn't "helpful" per say but you do eventually just go numb there and it doesnt hurt so badly anymore. I'm sorry PIO is giving you so much trouble. It's no fun! Having done PIO and suppositories though, I would take the pio any day. Good luck lady!

Also, I'm sure you're doing this, but rotate sides each time too. I also had them draw circles, and I'd rotate the location of each side too. So, for example, on MOnday I would inject on the right side, right side of the circle. Tuesday, left side, right side of the circle. Wednesday, right side, left side of the circle, Thursday, left side, left side of the circle. Then top of the circle, bottom of the circle, etc.
You can do your thighs too if needed. I never did.

PIO shots are getting better (just numb to it, as many of you have already said). First shot, I think H did at an angle towards my hip, so I had pain radiating down my right leg, which was when I had originally posted. Since I re-educated, they have been much easier.
