    I'm on week 5 of PIO and I put the syringe under my arm pit after filling. I usually hold it under there while I'm getting in a brief morning walk so I can multi-task. I haven't tried the heating pad before the injection but might try it. I've been using ice instead. I know some say ice can cause butt lumps.

      Very good question! There is a small chance you could inject and hit a blood vessel, the goal is to inject into the muscle, not directly into a blood vessel, so if you draw back and see blood, then it's best to pull out and try again.

      Hi, thanks for the question! A major priority for all fertility doctors is to make sure that mom and baby are safe. Twin and triplet pregnancies greatly increase the chance of pregnancy complications as well as the gravity of these complications. So, these days, single embryo transfer is the standard practice at most clinics. Of course, exceptions do exist, and this is absolutely an issue that patients need to discuss directly with their physician.
