I hope this video help you feel more confident when ti comes to these types of shots.
No matter how you do PIO shots (your' husband, yourself, with numbing or without) you are doing a great job and helping to prepare your body to be a wonderful place for your embryo to implant and develop!

Thank you soooo much! I was so scared, but watching you encouraged me and I just gave it to myself successfully!

I just gave myself my first shot using your video as a guide. It was much easier than I had though. Didn't hurt at all. The heating pad really helped too. Thanks for that idea.

I use ice first then my hubby does the shot most times I don't feel it at all. Then numb cream after shot then I use heating pad. I have no soreness or pain. I have been doing PIO shot for almost 6 weeks now and I think I have only felt maybe 3 shots. But like you said perfectly you do what works for you. Congrats by the way

Thank you so much for this vid! I should be used to shots by now but damn! That 1-1/2 inch needle is intimidating.😣😂 This video made it easier.

Hallo Bonnie. My Doctor gave me progesterone without oil to inject in my tummy. I neglected to ask, but he told me to inject in my tummy? And idea why?

@deniserizzolo6936 3 жыл бұрын

I just did my first progesterone compound last night at 1am in my thigh 1ml and I woke up not really being able to walk and also for most of the day felt achy and feverish 🥺

Girl I’m so nervous about the shots. I hate needles. I’m gonna try your method though. I have numbing cream on standby if I need it

@BonnieLeetripletmom 5 жыл бұрын

No shame in numbing cream. Like I said whatever help you get through them. But for me I was encouraged by how easy they were compared to what I though my it would. Also, I feel like you get sense of accomplishment when you can get through them (again however that looks 😊). Hope my method can be of some help!

Bonnie Lee I’ll be doing your method- it makes sense

My wife is having a lot of pain after the shot. Like the medicine is burning like 30 min after each shot. She also feels nausea. Is that normal?

@vanessanegritabicolana4746 3 жыл бұрын

Hi. I’m on my 5th day of this shot and my husband does it, and yes, it does hurt after 30mins but not burning pain. Maybe your wife is confused with burning pain and the pain of the oil itself? Does she also feel the pain when sitting down?

Bonnie what size of the needle you had used for the injection of your PIO?

@FoliageQueen Жыл бұрын

That’s 1 1/2 inch

@sandypognon9834 4 жыл бұрын

Can you use ice to numb the area before injection.

@geoz3092 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, that’s what I been using just ice and heating pad for after the shots. Now, I’m switching to lidocaine cream 4% or higher from a local pharmacy before shots

Did you using lidokain during pregnancy? is it ok?

My clinic doesn’t teach to pull back to check for blood ( they didn’t tell me too so I just don’t 🤷🏻‍♀️) and I bleed probably half of the time 😂 last night it legit squirted out onto my counter it was sooo crazy😂 ( I have it recorded) also your sooo like slow and step by step. I’m just like let’s go get it over with and it literally takes me like 1 minute to do. I’m just like draw it up, clean, landmark once ( not much poking and making sure) and go!! 😂😂😂 paper towel in the pants for blood if there is any, no rubbing. Haha totally different approaches I just hate it so I do it fast to get it over with. I also agree I’d way rather do it myself, I’ve done all of mine. My husband also can’t deal ( I’m sure if he had to he would) but he doesn’t even like watching so with that and me actually preferring to do it I do all of mine as well!

Haha!! I like your method! Just get it done 👍 I was more slow in video than I am in real life though. Trying to make sure I explained everything. But it’s still a process. 😂

How come you have to do your shot twice today Bonnie?

@BonnieLeetripletmom 5 жыл бұрын

That is what my doctors prescribes on the days leading up to the transfer, but after transfer I’m at just 1 shot every morning.
