    I think welts are normal but I was allergic. Do you have a latex allergy? Call your RE right away. After my first injection, I had a welt the size of a mosquito bite surrounded by a hot softball size red mark that had little dots as it started to spread. I didn't want to take anything and mess up my cycle, so I put an ice pack on it. My nurse freaked about my reaction and RE made me switch to Cetrotide.

    I did get a small welt, but I think it was because the Ganarelix had a duller needle and DH had to jab it into my skin.

    I hope it's nothing major!

    That's normal. It contains proteins that can cause irritation to tissues. Mine gave me a mild itchy rash but that went away after a few hours.

    Thank you! I called my nurse and she said a small welt is normal.  She said it should fade in an hour or two and it did!
