For the PIO shots, can you tell me what size your needle is to draw the oil up and then the size of the needle that goes in you.

Thanks

I have an 18g needle to draw and a 22g needle to inject. Both are 1 1/2” long.

I looked at them when I first got them & have tried not to since 😂 My husband draws them up & injects them so I don’t have to think about it. Good luck! 🤞🏻

This is what I have too. The dr didn’t prescribe us the 18 at first. We complained it was hard to draw up and the. They ordered it for us.

I use the same needle for both 22 gauge x 1 1/2” it’s a big a$$ needle, thick and intimidating. But you can do it Momma.

My pharmacist gave me a 18 gauge needle to draw up and then a 23 gauge to inject. He recommended not using the same needle to avoid dulling it.

Well the shot was not bad. Of course I had to work myself up first. My husband said the one at the drs was alot harder to push. What side affects comes with this? Emotional?

Definitely mood swings, girl!!! My husband thought I was losing my mind first time around lol I didn’t gain a lot of weight during the hormone injections but I did gain a lot afterwards. And I would cry at things I usually wouldn’t have. Like with any criticism for example.. I’d start tearing lol not cool while working but hey! Whatever.
