Hi ladies! I unexpectedly have to start my progesterone shots tomorrow. My transfer was postponed, but now is scheduled for Wednesday. I remember there’s a lot of tips like icing and heating and massaging. Can you please share any advice to make these shots easier?? This is my last embryo and it’s been a whirlwind this far. Thank you so much in advance!! I truly appreciate it.

I’ve heard people ice but I’ve always been told not to. I put the shot on a heating pad for a couple mins to warm it before. I’ll sometimes use heating pad on the spot where I’ll inject but usually not. Then heating pad + massage after helps. If you get pregnant (🤞🏻) and end up doing them for months, knots are kinda unavoidable at that point. Good luck and sticky vibes!

thank you so much for replying! So helpful!
