progesterone injections-blood?
September 07, 2008
Hi Dr. Q or Dr. EVA-
Tonight when doing the progesterone injection there was blood in the syringe after the shot. I remember the nurse telling us that we should put in the needle then pull back on the plunger a little and if there is blood pull out and start all over because you hit a vessel. We haven't really being checking because it is bad enough to put it in once. Tonight was the first time we saw blood inside. I thought the nurse said it would be less painful later if it wasn't in the vessel, I don't remember her saying it was actually "bad". If this happens am I still getting the progesterone I need? As always, thanks so much!!!
