i always do it on the right side of my belly. whenever i try the left side the skin seems tougher and it hurts way worse.. is it ok to keep doing it on the right side?

    I did nearly 40 days of Lupron only on the left side of my belly since it was too irritating in the right and it was no problem, I just moved around where it went each day.
    2 IVFs & 1 FET. Welcome home baby girl!

    I think it's totally fine. I found that my left thigh was much less sensitive than my right so I took all my Menopur in the left and all my Lupron in the right. I tried my belly once 2 cycles ago and that was the first and last time! OUCH!

    I've never heard anything about the negative impact of doing injections on one side, but I think it would be okay. I also notice one side of my belly is a little more sensitive than the other. I try to alternate with the sides. For example, I do Menopur on my left and Follistim on my right. The next night I switch. Good luck!!

    Should be ok. I have usually just tried to find an area that hasn't been injected in a while to avoid extra pain or sensitivity.

    That's a good idea to switch sides. I've only been stimming for 2 nights but I've done Gonal F on my left side and Menopur on the right both nights. I think I'll mix it up tomorrow night and see if it feels any different. Thanks for the tip!
