Pregnant after IF

Making PIO knots go away?

I've seen a few forums about how to prevent lumps, but does anyone have tips for how to make them go away after you've already got them? They're soo uncomfortable :(

Re: Making PIO knots go away?

  • Do you massage the injection site right after you do it? I did that and found it helped a little. I also sat on a heating pad right afterward for about 10 minutes. 



       
  • I second @uterusdreams suggestions. Definitely massage the area right after for a few minutes and then the heating pad or a warm water bottle help too.
