Progesterone Shots
Hi ladies..i just did my frist progesterone shot today and OUCH...man that smarts!! I was wondering does it get easier..does it always hurt all day or does your body start to get used to it more? The dr did the shot today but tommorow is my hubby...should be fun =) I know like with everything we will get used to it soon..
thanks for your input

Re: Progesterone Shots
If you're doing them above the butt cheek (intramuscular), then what I would do is actually put ice on the area until I couldn't feel it anymore (for about a half hour). When DH gave me the shot, I didn't even feel it!

it can definitely be sore, yes. I've actually bled a few times. does it hurt really bad? are you sure you definitely got the right spot? I actually had the doctor's office draw targets on my back with pen...this way you know you're getting the right spot for sure.

Re: Progesterone Shots
What I used to do was warm the little bottle of oil in a small bowl of hot water before drawing in into the syringe, which thins it out a little. I would then put a heat pad on the injection site and massage afterwards, it definately helped

this is a good plan...if you think about it===you are icing oil---which turns to like a solid knot under your skin.
you can even heat it gently with a hairdryer=massage after.
Iif you still fimnd them painful ask for EMLA creme I used it for all my progesterone--it completely numbs the area where you wouldnt feel a darn harpoon!
I dk why the use it in the UK and not here..but it works!!!!!!!!!

Re: Progesterone Shots
It does get better....DONT use ice...I find it hurt more after, and it will take longer for the oil to come out..
I use a warm compress. I take a wet washcloth and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds (it will be hot so be careful) put it on the injection site for a few minute, then inject it, it doesnt hurt and the oil goes in much faster.
