I was thinking that too, especially since it's only 1cc. It's what I really was interested in anyway, and from what I understand, it doesn't have to be done intramuscularly. Some people get them in the fatty layer around the gut. I'd be up to doing it that way, but want an RN's opinion first.

Oh sweetie!!! I'm sorry, I just responded to your other post and asked if your boyfriend could inject you but I can see now thats not an option!!!! I know when they first started me on injections and I did my first shot of Repronex, I had a terrible allergic reaction to it and my tummy turned red and got really hot and swollen, it hurt so bad!!! It made me a little gun shy to poke myself the next day even after they changed the meds!
If the medication itself it stinging and they can't switch it to something else for you, try icing the area first. Get it good and numb and push the plunger slowly and after you have injected it, rub the area a little to try and break up the solution some. You may want to do it laying in bed, that way if you get woozy again, you're already laying down!

Taking it one day at a time.....

Good idea! Thanks!
I'm almost thinking about trying to do it again. The effects of the last one are wearing off, I can feel it!!

I sure hope you're OK, & that you learn what you need to. But at least you gave it a 'shot'!! Sorry, that was bad.
