  Is it an IM trigger?  The ones for my IUI's were sub-q and I gave them to myself in my belly.  My trigger for IVF is IM and I don't think I could give that myself, but I'm not there yet so I don't know for sure.

  ETA:  Freedom Pharmacy has instructional videos online that you can watch.

  I have never done it to myself.  I had my dad give it to me because I am a wimp. My dr said that I could give in in the top of my leg.  Ice the are first so that you will not feel it.  Good luck!

  I did mine in my belly. It helps if you have extra belly to pinch. Here's what I did. Pinch skin, quickly insert needle, release skin, inject medication, count to five, take needle out, put pressure on injection site.

  I've done all my shots myself... even my IM trigger shot in my behind.  It's not too bad.  I just kind of lean around and jab it in real quick.

  Good Luck!

  Thanks, it makes me feel better knowing someone else has done it too.
