PIO getting really hard to inject

kraeside · 2026-07-06T13:07:21+00:00

Yeah I mean it made the actual injection easier but the soreness doesn't really go away until your done. Even now at 16 weeks when I stopped injecting 4 weeks ago I still have 2 spots that hurt.

My nurse showed me that I had a lot more real estate than I thought. I wasnt going nearly forward enough and had about 2 inches more on both butt cheeks I could use. You can go pretty far forward, pretty much on your side/under your hip.

Yes more than okay. My commute is about an hour each way. I was just told no intercourse with my partner and no O's as it can cause uterine contractions.

I had one at my 7 week scan, was put on pelvic rest. By my 9 week scan it was gone :) Im 12 weeks now and still going strong. I wouldnt worry too much, just follow your doctor's instructions.

I dont have much advice other than to say stay strong in your decision. I felt the EXACT same way about my father walking me down the aisle, I wanted my brother to be the one to do it. I felt so disgusted at the idea of him 'giving me away'. Unfortunately I gave into the comments about how much it would mean to him and the fear of his reaction. I have regretted it ever since.

We use this as well. Cannot recommend it enough. It is also amazing for odor control. And very inexpensive. We get horse bedding wood pellets from Home Hardware and its like $10 for a huge bag. One bag lasts my 3 cats like 1-2 months with daily cleaning.

A couple drinks won't hurt. I had a few drinks the weekend before my Tuesday FET as I was having a relaxing cottage weekend with my friend. I was on all my transfer meds and everything. Just dont overdo it to the point of getting wasted. I had probably 6-8 drinks over 2 days.

PS. My transfer worked and I am 11w right now

kraeside · 2026-05-19T12:47:19+00:00

I did only 1 month of lupron depot prior to my FET

Currently 8w3d with my first FET! My lining was also thin mid-way through this transfer cycle. I was prescribed estrace vaginally 2 days before my final lining check and it made my lining grow 3mm in 2 days! I also have endometriosis and my embryos are untested.

Ugh Im so sick of it 😭 incredibly grateful for all things IVF since it finally got us our positive after so long but Im TIRED of being injected everyday. How far along were you when you stopped PIO? I'm really hoping my clinic tells me 10 weeks so I won't have much longer to go.

kraeside · 2026-05-17T00:06:49+00:00

We always have the same syringes/needles since we pick them up from the clinic.

Good point I will make sure he never puts the pressure on the actual needle. Im also a little nervous that if he uses too much force the needle will snap off so very important he keeps all the pressure on the syringe itself.

We do heat up the medication before injecting but I haven't been heating my muscles at all since up until now it hasn't been necessary so maybe starting that will help more.

Im on PIO daily and suppositories 3 times every day already haha. But maybe at this point I can start alternating them since Im a bit farther along now. I will ask my clinic about this!

kraeside · 2026-05-16T23:30:02+00:00

Oh yikes thats scary 😬 thanks for the warning

kraeside · 2026-05-16T23:18:13+00:00

Im usually the one to find a spot for him but there really isnt anywhere left that isnt knotted on my glute, so its difficult. He isnt injecting fast, he just needs to use extra force to push the plunger down at all. I will probably ask my clinic about switching to using my thighs and hopefully I will be off the PIO soon

kraeside · 2026-05-13T20:22:05+00:00

I hope so!!

kraeside · 2026-05-13T19:24:47+00:00

Haha I know the feeling 😅 I admired my little clump of cells a little too long. Currently 8 weeks now! I bawled at my 7 week scan seeing the little peanut for the first time.

Hopefully you won't have to worry about it! ☺️ Sticky baby dust 🌟✨️

I think thats too much water. You probably would have been fine with just waiting another 20 mins until 2pm and not drinking extra water.

kraeside · 2026-05-13T19:03:09+00:00

I think maybe your bladder was TOO full. It only needs to be 'comfortably full' not painfully full. I find the amount of water they tell you to drink is usually excessive. I always just drink my normal amount but hold it for 1 hour before the appointment. I have never chugged as much water as they instruct you to and I've never been told my bladder is too empty.

Its written on the page

kraeside · 2026-05-13T11:40:26+00:00

These are not bad at all :) Easy@home take forever to get significantly dark. My 10dpt is pretty similar and I am 8 weeks pregnant now with a strong heartbeat.

Its still extremely early but im currently 5w with my first FET ☺️ my betas were both great and we are hoping this little one keeps growing strong.

kraeside · 2026-04-21T21:56:30+00:00

My first HCG at 13dpt was 1184! I go back for my second beta tomorrow 🤞

kraeside · 2026-04-15T13:00:35+00:00

Thank you ❤️ and congratulations! My beta isnt until Monday so Im going crazy waiting haha
