Yesterday, I gave myself a shot of Ovidrel. It kinda hurt, but it wasn't bad.
I just changed my shirt and noticed I have a big purple bruise (like two inches) at the injection site! It is tender to the touch as well.
Did I do something wrong or does this happen sometimes? I did ten days of Gonal F shots and two other cycles with Ovidrel and never once bruised! What the heck.
Re: Ovidrel bruising?
I tend to bruise a lot with my injections.. but I bruise easily anyways.
If you apply some pressure to the injection site, after pulling out the needle, it should help prevent the bruising.
Props to you for giving yourself the injections though.. I'm a wuss and my dh has to give them to me.
