Injections

Hi girls! I just started my first stim this morning. I’m on menopur and later need to add in fyremadel Does anyone have advice for the injections being so painful? I’m not bad with needles but the med going in is a bit brutal 😭 Also when I start needing to take fyremadel how far apart should I leave them? Our clinic never really said much about this

I personally found Menopur completely painless. I used numbing cream for fyremadel as the needle in much thicker. I don’t remember about spacing, as it’s been a while. Your clinic should give you a schedule, better check with them.

@Maria which numbing cream did you use? The protocol I got just says dates about when to start and the units to take. But I’ll give them an email

Hi! I got my husband to do all of my injections because I just couldn’t do them myself. I think that made it easier so I could focus on something else whilst it hastened! When you’re doing both jabs do them both on the same side of your stomach, alternate which side you inject each day. I think you need to be at least 2 inches from your belly button but otherwise they can go next to each other

@Lauren Emla, you can buy it over the counter. Hm, they should’ve explained time, do question them.

Try holding an ice pack on your belly for 5 mins before and after doing the injections. That really helped me with the pain as I am a massive wimp with pain and needles

I just used a pack of peas from the freezer just to numb the area. It seemed to help most of the time.
