PIO aspirate

Has anyone ever aspirated what looks like pus when preparing to inject your progesterone in oil? It has happened about three times in the same approximate area in the last week or so.

I asked one of my nurses about it after the first time and she agreed that it could be un-absorbed oil. I have no pain, redness or swelling in the area. I do not have a fever.

I will try to call and chat with the pharmacy about it tomorrow but feel like it’s not emergent enough to page the on call person at my fertility clinic.

I am so sorry for not seeing this! It actually turned out that my medication wasn’t absorbing well! I had to have the nurses mark a couple more locations for me to inject so I could rotate more frequently. My levels had ended up low, as I expected since I voiced my concern to them that it was medication sitting there.
