Pio injections
So I have two large bumps on my backside (one on each side) from my last two injections. They are hard and very sore. I showed the doctor the first one and she said that most likely it was injected between the muscle and fat (need to teach my nurse friends how to properly do IM injections!). I need to watch for infection at that one site.
I don't recall feeling overly crampy with the pio (and still don't). Implantation though I felt! It wasn't so much a cramp but more like someone was pinching the one side of my uterus with vice grips! Lol
Thanks ladies! It went a little easier tonight thank heavens!
A1smith, I am also a registered nurse ?
I was in pio shots for my fresh transfer for 3 weeks. That was unsuccessful so we took a 7 week break and did a frozen transfer which was successful. I was then in 2 ml pio injections daily for 13 weeks. With almost every shot I had a huge knot and some of them bruised. They all hurt pretty bad and was still sore for about 5 weeks after stopping the injections. It is normal. It's very thick medicine. I am a registered nurse so I know my shots were given correctly and it still happened. A few things you can do are...
-ice the area for about 10 minutes prior to injection. This helps numb the area
-use a heating pad after injection. It helps increase blood flow to the area which will in turn help your body to absorb the medicine quicker.
-warm the medicine before injecting it by holding the syringe in between your hands or under your arm. This is supposed to help thin the medicine a little so it doesn't hurt as bad.
- do squats. Use those muscles that you are injecting. It will help the muscle absorb the medicine.
I always rub the area that inject for about 5 minutes after, it helps the pio dissipate faster and then I use a heating pad on any sore areas. Are you also making sure to pull back on the syringe to make sure there is no blood? If you draw blood you should withdraw the needle, change the needle and try a different spot

My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...

!!!!LABOR STORY!!!!
Saturday at 1AM, lost my mucus plug/bloody show, and I was freaking out! A couple of hours later I had cramping, but felt like BH just a little stronger. They came and went, but felt stronger with each hour. Didn't sleep that whole night! I called the midwife at my hospital and told her I lost it and was having really bad cramping and she told me I was fine and was prob just having BH contractions.
The next day I was having what I thought were strong BH contractions every 10-...

I did all but one of my injections using the z-track method that I heard about on this board. It really helped the oil get to the right place and stay there. You can google it for instructions.
