bruising?

blueberries8blueberries8 member
in Trouble TTC
I've been having some bleeding at the injection site on my stomach every night with the puregon pen and as a result, bruising afterwards. I never had this happen before in the past with the ovidrel, which I also inject subq into my stomach. Is there a way for us to improve our injection strategy or is this just par for the course? Thanks!
IUIs #1-3 (1x unmedicated, 2x Clomid) = 2 BFNs, 1 m/c at 7w3d
IUIs #4-6 (injects) = 3 BFNs
IVF #1 = BFN
FET #1 = BFN
FET #2 = BFN
IVF #2 = BFP, b/g twins lost at 20w due to partial abruption/PPROM
IVF #3 = c/p 5w2d
Long-shot Clomid/Prednisone cycle before next IVF = BFP, our beautiful, healthy girl born 6/26/13!

    Are you using aspirin or anything with it?
    I don't know that pen but I would assume is the same gauge than the follistim. And I think you will eventually hit a vessel, the nurse told me to apply pressure just in case for a couple of minutes.
    At least is winter and no bikini weather.

    I didn't bleed with my Sub-Q shots but I did end up with some welts. I ended up just puttiing some ice on my stomach before hand, warming up the vial between my hands before injecting it, then after injecting I would put the heating pad just over that area (didn't want to chance "cooking" my overies)

    This.  My first IVF cycle I didn't get any bruising until after ER when I started Lovenox and baby aspirin.  After that I got brusing with the Lovenox shots and my PIO shots.  With my second IVF cycle, I started Lovenox with stims and I got some bruising with my stims and Lovenox injection.  This bruising increased significantly when I started baby aspirin.
