One of my gonal-f injections each day has been hurting and tonight I think I worked out why.  I’ve been reusing the needle for each side (I checked with the nurse that this was okay) and I think that’s been blunting the needle for the second shot.  I have enough needles left over from the last cycle, so from now on; I’ll be using a fresh needle for each injection.

 

And in addition to that, the first time I injected myself, I had forgotten to load the dose, and didn’t see how I could do that with the needle inside me, without hurting me, so I had to take it out, load the dosage again, and reinject!

 

But the biggest hurt tonight was the Luveris injection.  I’m sure the needle was blunt because it just would not break the skin.  And I drew blood up into the needle and the hole it left in my belly was big.  Still just explaining and documenting, not complaining… but certainly going to use this against this kid one day lol.
