I am scared about the shots.

BTMama

I am about to start my first injectibles cycle with IM Repronex shots. I am scared about side effects, and that my husband will have trouble giving me the shots. Any advice?

The worse part is the anticipation for the shot.

I would suggest icing the injection spot for about 5-10 minutes before the injection.

 

Good Luck!

Shots are sucky. If your DH is giving them to you, don't look while he is doing it!

I hear you-I have done sub q on my own but the im injections I am not looking forward to....But Babbsy is right I think the build up is worse than the actual shot...GL!

Its the anticipation. Make sure he does them fast and there won't be any pain. I've done them myself in the past because I was too afraid DH would go slow because he didn't want to hurtme.

Like the other girls said, just make sure DH goes in nice and fast - straight in and straight out. ?For my PIO shots, it also helps when he injects the meds nice and slow instead of too much at once.

Good luck!?

I was worried about how competent my husband would be with the shots, not being a medical professional and all, but now I call him Dr. Sweeney. The more relaxed you are, the less you will feel it so try to relax as much as possible.
