1 down, 29 to go

I did my first PIO shot last night.  It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  I rolled the filled syringe between my hands while I warmed up the heating pad and used that for about 10 minutes after.

After 30 days, I get switched to a different progesterone supplement.

    My DH does my PIO shots for me; it's the "surprise" element that freaks me out, b/c I never know when the needle is coming. 

    I find that massaging the area afterwards and going for a walk helps cut down on any soreness and lumps.

    DH does my IM shots, too.  I can't imagine the position I would have to contort into in order to do it myself. Smile

    Awesome. Good for you! I'm freaking out about those coming PIO shots, too, so it's nice to hear it's probably worse in my mind than it will be in real life.
