Menopur painful?

Question

Started ivf meds today! So excited. But is it normal for Menopur to hurt?! It wasn’t terrible but I’m just thinking if it hurt that much what will progesterone needles be like 😬

Answer

The Menopur definitely burned for me. Tolerable but shocked me the first time I did it because I wasn’t expecting it lol especially cuz I did the gonal f first and it was a breeze

Answer

It was a small burn for me.  I iced before and hubby pinched hard when injecting.   Didn’t hurt after that

Answer

Menopur burns, try icing the spot for a couple mins before. PIO doesn’t burn, it’s more soreness after it’s done. You’ve got this!!!!

Answer

I am not looking forward to those progesterone needles either!! 🥶

Answer

Have you tried letting it sit out of the fridge for about 10 mins before injection? Most injections that sting are cause by the temperature and not the actual medication.

Answer

I don't find Menopur too bad to inject. Slight sting at first but fine afterwards. I did find when this medication made me feel bloated I found it hard to inject into my belly. Took 3 times to get it in!!!🤦🏾‍♀️
I also have to inject Ganirelix into my thigh and that one really hurts. 
Good luck on your journey

Answer

Burns for me too!

Answer

I started stims tonight too! Menopur didn’t hurt for me...a slight burn when the meds went in, but it was done quickly. The Gonal f pen was the easiest. The worst for me has been the antibiotics...doxycycline. I had terrible nausea & threw it up this AM. I was in bed with a terrible stomach ache most of the afternoon. I just took it again for my 2nd dose & I ate more with it and drank an entire bottle of water. It seems to be going better so far. Best of luck to you!! Let me know if you wanna chat! I am doing a frozen transfer with PGS.

Answer

I agree with everyone! Menopur had an after burn for me. Going I was like.... I got this! Then 15 second later I was like damn it damn it damnitttttttrr.
Pio injections are odd. The needle is way bigger but I don’t feel them nearly as much. Maybe bc I’m not looking? My husband does them for me. The pain is from the muscle being sore. The first week was super easy. The second week.... soreness started and the third week sucked. Unfortunately my fet failed so we are starting from week one again this week.  It took almost a month for the soreness to go away too.

Answer

The menopur definitely burned a bit and after reading these comments I'm pretty glad I don't have PIO shots
