Anyone's SO doing your injections for you?

in TTC After a Loss
We are mid IVF cycle and I've been doing all my shots myself. Mh sits with me and talks me through, keeps me calm and is really supportive. I'm fine doing the shots myself (I'm getting pretty good at it!) but I was talking to my acupuncturist the other night and he mentioned it's good to start the husbands on these smaller shots in my belly and not have the injections in my behind be the first he does. So I think I might have mh do a few this week, my long winded question is - any suggestions for the best position for me to be when he gives me the shot in my belly? I do them sitting now but not sure if that will be a weird angle for him. Tia!!

    Hi! Mh did them while I was standing. I pinced the skin and he injected. Never hurt. Good luck! Pm me if you need anything!

    @sweetcalittc1‌ Ohmygoodness that's so scary! Your poor H must have felt awful. Did he ever do one after that?

    H does all my shots (because I'm a coward). I lay down and he does them, this way, i can close my eyes and not see.

    I am also a coward so mh did all mine. I would lsy on my side and he would pinch an area close to my belly button. The farther you get from that the more it hurts. Pm if you want specifics!
