Triggering tonight!!
And retrieval is set for Weds!! I'm so excited!! We are planning for a 5 day transfer and I have at least 12 follicles (3 on left, rest on the right ovary).
Since I am triggering w/ Lupron (sp?) due to being at risk for hyperstimulation I will be on the Estrace and the Dr. is ordering the injectable progesterone- I am terrified! I know some of you like this better than endometrin- do you have any tips like where to inject? My hubby works nights so I'll be doing the shot myself.

Re: Triggering tonight!!
Good Luck!!
For the PIO shot here was my procedure.
1. Apply heating pad to injection site for 5+ minutes.
2. While you are doing this, get warm (not boiling) water and place vial in it.
3. Inject PIO into appropriate site. I found that when I injected on my right side, there was no pain at all. I also found I had no pain when I did the injections, but when DH did them they stung a little.
To do the injection myself, I stood in front of a mirror with my weight on the non-injection side. I twisted as far as I could to the right. I would use my left hand to keep the injection site taut and then i would inject the needle with my right hand. I would then remove my left hand and use it to pull back to the plunger and then I would inject.
4. With a heating pad, massage the area for 5-10 minutes. Keep heating pad on injection site for additional 10 minutes - reheat if necessary.
I never had a bruise or knot the entire time. I made sure to rotate the injection every single day and like I said before, I pretty much only injected on my right side.

Thanks so much! This will be a huge help along with the video from Mrsdubs! Where was your injection site?? The Dr said the butt hurts less than the thigh but that you can't really reach. I almost feel like I can reach but I don't want to screw up!

Upper butt - the nurse drew two boxes on my back on the day of my ER with sharpie, which was really helpful. I am a nut an retraced them when they would fade in the beginning.
I read that the thigh can be pretty painful...
