Sore backside-ouch :O)

September 06, 2008

Who can relate?? I started my progesterone shots in my backside and have done about 4 of them, two on each side. Boy is it getting sore :O) It will all be worth it with a BFP!!!! My nurse suggested warming a cloth in the microwave and placing it on the injection site and rubbing it for a few minutes after, I think that helps a bit.

Yep, my bum was very sore! My dh ended up going out of town and I had to do them myself, for some reason it was less painful that way..maybe b/c I went slower w/ the plunger???

Good luck!!!

My hubby is going out of town soon so I will have to do them myself also. Maybe I'll give it a try sooner since you say it hurt a little less :O) did you do the progesterone shots the whole time or did they ever switch you to something like crinone or pills once you were preggo?

They actually let me quit the shot right when I got my bfp hcg levels..b/c my progesterone was so high. I am infact going to start the progesterone pill in 2 wks at wk 16 and take til wk 37 tho. I've had one premie baby..and they hope this will help cut my odds down a bit. I guess studies show that increasing prog levels..even tho fine from 16-37 wks can cut premie rates by 1/3 or so in women who are at risk :)

That's great! Wishing you lots of luck that your little stays in there until it's time to come out!!! :O)

You give me hope that I will eventually be able to stop the shots too. I have a bunch of Crinone, and I would be more than happy to use that when they say I'm in the clear.
