I was surprised that after both my morning and evening injection of my MDL, my skin was itching right around the injection site. When I looked, it was also kind of blotchy red. It goes away within a half hour or so of giving the shot. I plan on checking with my nurse to make sure this is ok, but has anyone else here experienced this? Pretty sure it's normal since upon googling I've found similar descriptions of reactions. Just wondering what your doctors have said about it. I haven't had any reaction to gonal F, menopur, or ovidrel so I was surprised with this one.

My skin gets red and itchy at my injection sites. It goes away, but it's still not fun. I get little red bumps that don't go away too. But my nurse told me it was normal. Are you switching sides with each injection?
It's normal. It's just one of those fun perks that come along with IVF!

I think it's normal, too. Cetrotide did the same thing to me.
Stopped BCPs December 2008
TTC since June 2009
6 unsuccessful Clomid cycles
Dx Annovulatory due to PCOS January 2010
DH-perfect
4 unsuccessful IUIs
Began Lupron July 7 for first IVF
IVF cancelled; overstimulation and coasting lead to huge drop in E2
New testing with an Endocrinologist...perhaps a new diagnosis...
So, not PCOS but Hashimoto's Thyroiditis November 2010
After a looong break, started seeing a new RE. Gearing up for IVF 1.2.
Beta 1=197!!
lupron gives me large, raised, red welts at injection and then it subsides after 30 min or so. the icing helps with this and also minimizes the burning (it burns for me too)

It's been a long journey. TTC since 9/06. multiple IUI's and IVF's and 4 m/c's. IVF#3 = BFP, twins, induced at 34w6d due to baby b passing away (no explanation). Delivered on 35w1d, Baby A - baby girl, and Baby B - baby boy, our little angel.

if you aren't already try icing before.
lupron gives me large, raised, red welts at injection and then it subsides after 30 min or so. the icing helps with this and also minimizes the burning (it burns for me too)
