I'm so glad I found your channel. I just finished my retrieval and I'm very nervous about the progesterone shots. Thank you for the great information and generally helping me feel better about it. Congratulations on your pregnancy! I hope and pray for every woman going through this rough journey. I never imagined it would be this difficult mentally, emotionally and physically. I almost gave up, but I'm still going.
I’m so happy you found my channel too!🤗 You got this girl!! I know you can do it! Remember to take the shots one day at a time and before you know if you’ll be through them❤️ Sending lots of baby dust and love your way as you approach your transfer day!💕
Warming it up really made all the difference! I also inject myself. My bed is pretty high, and I found that not putting weight on the side your injecting also helps because the muscle is relaxed. I lean against my bed standing up, it makes it easier to turn around to inject myself. I just wanna say you are God sent!! Warming up the oil was the best advice, and immediately laying in the heating pad helped tremendously with the soreness. I lay in the heating pad for about 20 min and then I go on a daily walk for 2 miles and I found that walking also helps as well
Amazing girl!! Awesome job and thank you so much for sharing! Leaning against something to inject yourself makes sense that would help! I’m so glad warming up the oil is helping too, and I’m sure walking also helps decrease muscle soreness. Best wishes as you move forward!❤️❤️
I wish you talked more about the site and how to find it. I’m finding that no one really talks about it enough, and I just realized 2 weeks later that I was kinda going too low on the buttock. It literally has to be basically in the hip closer to low back than mid buttock. I’ve seen pictures before where the buttock gets divided into 4 squares equally, but that was incorrect, as the middle line has to go across where the top of the butt crack ends
I’m so glad that I found this video. I just started PIO injections! My butt is so incredibly sore and I have about 55 more injections to go ……. I just had Frozen Embryo Transfer on 6/25/24. They said our embryo was beautiful. We have a lot riding on this little one. It’s our only one from our 2nd ER. 💓💓
So I took my first shot today! I’m glad I found your page because most videos speak about someone else doing the injections and I may have to do it myself some days 😬 and I’m terrified
You are a life saver! I am two days in to these daily shots. I saw a recommendation to numb the area when I was doing my stim shots but since these shots are IM and you want your muscle relaxed I wasn't sure if icing it would be okay. Ice helped so much with the stim shots. I am totally going to try it with these too. Also! My needles are 20 gauge, and my husband hadn't noticed the 22 gauge in the packaging until I saw this video and he double checked! He feels terrible haha! We will def also warm up the oil! You're so strong to be able to have done all the shots yourself!
Aww I’m so so glad I could help you with those!! And yeah girl, there’s a HUGE difference in the size of those needles!! It’s very disappointing the fertility clinics don’t make sure you know that ahead of time; that the 20g is for drawing up the progesterone and the 22g is for injecting. Thank you so much for writing all of this!! Really means a lot to me! Hoping the injections get easier for you to tolerate. Wishing you the very best as you continue on your journey. Sending lots of love and baby dust your way!💕
I had my transfer last Saturday and my butt are bruised all over because I was applying the injections incorrectly. Thank you for sharing this video with us. I feel like I am not alone! :) good luck to all my ladies going through an IVF processs!
I’m so incredibly sorry the shots are rough!! I’m so glad you were able to find and watch this video. Thank you for commenting and I hope it gets easy from here on out! Sending you lots of positive vibes and baby dust💕 You got this!🤗
Thank you so much for this, I'm getting ready for my injections, thinking of having my hubby help me, hoping for the best for my August transfer 🙏🌌👶💯💜💜♥️
Getting ready for my FET. I start the PIO in 2 weeks. Needles don't bother me (have like 100 tats lol), but I was nervous about this injection. Great video thank you 😊
Wonderful tips you can also request a smaller needle depending on weight to help ease discomfort and also do a combo where you only have to inject every 3rd day it will save you from 60 injections to about 20.
Found your video while looking for shoot info. Hey, I've been doing TRT shots twice a week for about 7 months now. I've always been shooting in the quads ( 25g 1in needle )with no problems, but if I'm going to be doing this for the rest of my life ( I'm 53 ) I want to give that area a break for a month or so every once in a while. I want to give glutes a try but I'm nervous about the location. I'm pretty lean with little fat. But I keep hearing about making sure not to hit the sciatic nerve so 🤷♀. Is it a real chance of hitting that nerve or am I just over thinking it? By the way Thanks for the video, It helps everyone new to self shots.
Thank you so much for sharing this video and the tips! I will definitely use them and just ordered the cream. I was having pain while walking today and thought I was going crazy 😂 I have my first ever FET Friday 🙏🏼🌈💛🤞🏼
I’m so glad you found the video helpful!! I hope the shots get easier for you; they did for me so hang in there!! The cream was a game changer for me so I hope it helps you have less pain. I think you’ve had your FET by now (I’m a little behind on comments lol) so I hope it went well and I hope your little one sticks🙏🙏💗 Sending all the baby dust your way!!
Thank you so much for your videos( I keep watching them and love your instagram too). I am 7dp5dt, I saw two pink lines on the 4 day post transfer. My husband and I watched this video before starting pio but I told him we can skip the part where you give the shot yourself because I don’t have to do that since my husband will be doing that. Well he got Cov*d yesterday and can’t do my pio shots anymore. So I rewatched your video again this time without skipping any part 😂
Aww thank you so much for writing all of this!!😭 I’m so glad you’re finding the videos helpful, really means a lot!❤️ It’s not easy sharing, filming, and editing..not to mention how much time it takes so your comment is so encouraging to me!🤗 I’m so sorry to hear your hubby has Covid! That’s horrible and I hope he feels better very soon. You are so brave to give the shots to yourself, you go girl!! You got this! Sending my love and all the baby dust💕 Praying your embryo sticks!🙏
@@brittany_elizabeth_rn thank you so much ❤️ my beta today was 563.7 I am 9dp5dt, my second beta on Wednesday 🤞🙏 I am so brave only because I will do anything for that little baby. Thank you so much again for all your videos ❤️
@@TaniaDTV awww HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to you!! That’s amazing and I’m praying your little one keeps sticking!🙏💕 I remember all of those feelings like it was yesterday…it’ll all be worth it!!
@@brittany_elizabeth_rn thank you. Just want that second beta already 🤞 I don’t know how you were so patient not to test. I have zero symptoms, had spotting on day 7, I would 100% think it’s my period starting if I have not seen positive test earlier.
I’m so glad you found this video helpful!!❤️ attached is my video on all the supplements I took throughout IVF including after my transfer. I also linked them in the description box🤗 th-cam.com/video/cs-3MKjjTRQ/w-d-xo.html
@@brittany_elizabeth_rn Thank you so much! Congratulations on your pregnancy! ❤️ Wishing the best of health for your little one and your family especially in the days ahead! 🤗
I warm the vial in warm water, then hold the syringe in my sports bra once I draw up the PIO until I'm ready to inject. I also use lidocaine spray from Amazon to numb before and I use a little shot assist thingy from Amazon that helps a lot.
I am taking 3 tylenol in a day still pain,what to do? 😢 this is my 3 rd day of embryo transfer, whats going on I don't know, sometimes I want to give up,it’s too much pain.what about you? How is your baby?
I’m so sorry!! I was extremely sore for the first 2 weeks and then my body got more used to the shots. It gets a little easier! Hang in there; you got this!!
my FET is next week I'm super scared from the progesterone oil injections I'm supposed to take them for the first 3 months. 😨 I also have 3 embryos from 2 cycles just like you.. all of them are girls
I know it’s super scary. I almost didn’t follow through with the embryo transfer because I was scared of the injections, and doing them for the first 3 months was absolutely terrifying!! But you got this girl!! It’ll all be worth it!❤️
@@brittany_elizabeth_rn Hi Brittany, a small update, I started the progesterone in oil injections and I didn't see them painful at all. just a small bruise and swelling after the injection in 4 hours bas it's very minimal, the blood thinner injections in tummy are way more painful but the pain stays only for 10 mins and it disappears. my FET Is in 2 days, wish me luck for baby jasmine 🥰🥰
@@farahabdul9818 I’m so incredibly happy to hear that!! Thank you so much for updating me, good news is always so encouraging🥰🤗 All the best moving forward girl and I pray you get your beloved little one💕
Not everyone needs these shots. One of my best friends went through IVF and didn’t need these; all she needed was progesterone vaginal suppositories. So I wouldn’t let that hold you back until you confirm you will need them
I’m starting my IVF cycle right now. I’m also like your husband and pass out from injections, the last two steroid injections I had, I passed out. Maybe only steroid injections do that to me, who knows.
I’m so sorry to hear that! I wish I could help you and give them for you.❤️ Yeah I hope you feel better with the IVF injections than the steroids😭 I know you can do it! You got this! Praying the shots are much easier than anticipated. Sending you lots of love and baby dust as you start your journey💕
I just finished the 11 days dPO after embryo transfer - thank God ! I am PREGNANT ❤
Aww HUGE CONGRATULATIONS girl!!! I’m so so happy for you!! Praying for the very best for you and your little one!💕💕
Congratulations! I'm on my 5th day, and both my sides are painful.
I can't focus because the cat is having a WHOLE bed bath! 🤣
Lol
I also had to rewind to rewatch a few times due to distractions! I also went back to see the brief showing of the doggie a couple of times! Too cute!
Same here 😂😂

Did you have your baby? Just did first shot. It hurts a lot
I wonder tho since the syringe is plastic, if we warm up the plastic syringe it will release bpa chemicals that we then inject

I’m so glad you find the video helpful!! You got this girl!! If I can do it, you definitely can too I have no doubt🤗 Let me how your first few go!💕
Hello MaryLe.... Do you have a 1-year update? I would love to know if your PIO resulted in a baby or if you are still on your journey. 💕🦋
About to start my shots! Thank you for the tips
You are so welcome! I hope they help❤️Sending you lots of love and baby dust your way!💕🤗
Don't use ice! Use heat before and after the shot to prevent soreness and help absorb the oil. I like the balm advice for numbing.
Getting ready for my FET. I start the PIO in 2 weeks. Needles don't bother me (have like 100 tats lol), but I was nervous about this injection. Great video thank you 😊
Best wishes as you start your shots and prepare for your FET! Praying everything goes smoothly and sending lots of baby dust your way!💕

Thank you so very much!!❤️🤗
True standing is not too much painful
Taking my first shot tonight. Thank you for this advice! I will definitely use it! :)
I hope is went well and I’m so glad I can help!💕

Awesome info!! Thank you for sharing!❤️🤗
And thank you very much!
Is it necessary to take both suppository and Injection
Hi! Can you explain the combo? I asked my doctor and he said he has never heard of a combo shot. I would love to do less of these! Lol
Truly helpful, thank you so much!
I’m so glad❤️❤️

Ice hurts more since PIO is oil base. When it crystalize it hurts.
I heat it so oil goes in easy than lidocaine
This is so helpful! Were you cleared to use the lidocaine cream until you stopped PIO at 12 weeks?
I’m so so glad!!🤗 Yes I was❤️
Hi! Thank you so much for your tips! How long do you recommend using an ice pack to numb the area before the injection? Thanks in advance!
About 30 minutes or so. I’m so glad your finding the tips helpful!! And you are so welcome!❤️🤗 Best wishes to you as you move forward💕
@@brittany_elizabeth_rn Thank you so much! Congratulations on your pregnancy! ❤️ Wishing the best of health for your little one and your family especially in the days ahead! 🤗
one question: for how long did you have to take the shots after the transfer?
I had to do them every day for 12 weeks after my transfer, so the entire first trimester
Same!! thank you so much
You are so welcome! I hope this helps you❤️
I’m sorry the cat was distracting me so fluffy 🥹
I’m so sorry, she always has to make noise and be right next to me lol
I warm the vial in warm water, then hold the syringe in my sports bra once I draw up the PIO until I'm ready to inject. I also use lidocaine spray from Amazon to numb before and I use a little shot assist thingy from Amazon that helps a lot.
Yes yes! All great tips as well! I might try the automatic injector next time around. Thank you for your helpful comment🙏❤️
Thank you....so scared of IM shots!
I know it’s so scary!! But you can do it!!
After put the injection use ice pack or hot pack
Hot pack worked way better for me to relax the muscle and get the knots out
Hi can we do this pio shots on stomach pls rly
I’ve never heard of being able to do them on your stomach. You’ll have to ask your doctor or fertility clinic
Thanks 🙏
You are so welcome!❤️

Using ice instead of heat before intramuscular injections is diabolical. 😩
Ice is not good because it will make the oil thicker
Correct!
fml lol im nervous
I know everyone is! You got this!❤️❤️
I use lidocaine and 10 bucks lol
Senhora consegue me aplicar uma em jecao na coxa hahaha dia tarde
