    I will check out that thread thanks PugLife5869.  I have only been on it for 5 days now and not doing great with it.  I HATE needles.  I know it will all be worth it in the end but I feel like my anxiety starts building as soon as I get done with a shot already worrying about the next one.  
    For some reason tonights just hurt really bad going in and like two hours later half my stomach still feels bruised.

    Some nights are more painful than others for me. I wish I could figure out why and avoid the more painful ones. And I was so disappointed the other day to open the new batch the pharmacy sent. I swear the needle is bigger. The only thing I know is to inject slowly. I also insert the needle very slowly because I can't bring myself to do it any faster. Still, I'm so grateful for this medicine. It gives me hope.
    I know, I hear people all the time saying to "stab" it in and I just can't do it!

    I'm on lovenox as well. I seem to bruise more on my left side than right. I don't insert needle slow, but I do inject slowly, which helps with the burn. I also ice first and that numbs the injection site so that it doesn't hurt. I had to play with different angles before I found what works best for me. I prefer injecting at more of a 45 degree angle than straight on, and I always tent the area 1st. 

    Good luck, it gets easier once you have a routine down!

    Tonight sucked, it was like the needle didn't want to go in.  I felt like I had to push so hard.

    I was on it with my rainbow pregnancy, and I'm on it again. It's definitely not fun. Some spots definitely hurt more than others and some bruise easier. I just try to avoid the bruised areas until they heal. GL!
