Adventures in PIO & PSA

in Pregnant after IF
So H was giving me my usual PIO injection tonight when things went horribly wrong. As he was finishing the injection, we heard a pop and the needle disappeared! It was no where to be found, the only explanation was that it was in fact in my butt!

He poked around and couldn't find it, we called 911 and the paramedics couldn't find it either. So off to the ER we went. Very carefully I might add. They did an u/s and couldn't see anything so it was off to consult with radiology to see if they could attempt an x ray. They positioned me as such to limit the exposure for the sake of the baby, covered me in lead as best they could, and got a picture.

No needle. Can't find it anywhere. So I was sent home with no explanation.

H was still very concerned, the needle just had to be in there, right?!?! So then we call his dad who is a fire chief/paramedic. He says off hand that there is a new safety mechanism in some needles to prevent this very thing from happening! So we dismantled the syringe and wouldn't you know, the needle was in the plunger the entire time! He tested the theory out on another syringe and the needle popped right into the plunger.

Please feel free to laugh at my expense, I was. After all that IF has put us through, this was embarrassing and funny to me all at the same time! And for future refrence, if your needle breaks off, it's most likely in the plunger, not your butt :)

    WOW!!! Twists, that is awful!!! I'm so glad everything is okay!

    The funniest part, IMO, is that none of the paramedics, ER docs, or specialists thought of it being in the plunger either. Wow. I'm glad everything is okay! PIO SUCKS!!!

    HOLY monkey! I can't believe this story! It's unbelievable, and yet...totally believable! Honestly, my rear end is still sore and numb after two months of PIO, and even though I stopped two weeks ago, I totally get why you would be questioning if there was a needle in your butt! 

    I have to say, though, this gave my DH and I an awesome laugh. I am sorry for your trip to the ER, but I'm really glad it wasn't in there and that everything is okay with your LO. :) TOO funny. Thanks for sharing...glad to have the PSA!
