PIO shot tricks?!

Question

I know a lot of you have posted them somewhere on this thread so I apologize for the redundancy!
I start our Progesterone shots tomorrow and wanna make sure I don’t cause more pain than I should..
-Heat or ice my bum beforehand?
(I know to keep the oil warm)
-Heat or ice after?
-Should I be like bent over the couch? 😂
-Where on my butt? Like dead center cheek?
We opted out of PIO shot training and realizing we should’ve done it 🤦🏼‍♀️

Answer

This helps a lot. Ice before hand to numb a little. I’ve tried standing sitting everything honestly laying on the bed is the best tilt slightly. Once he injections it SLOW is best have him massage it in and then apply heat. Seems like a lot but it gets easier and honestly I have no tissue damage or bruising. My husband would pretend trace out the specific spot on my my hips to make sure it was right on my muscle hopes this helps.

Answer

I didnt ice or heat or anything.  I started to to do it bent over on the bed—DO NOT do that!  Just lie flat on the bed and have your muscle completely relaxed.  And make sure you’re doing it in the right spot (which is higher than you might think)!

Answer

Ice injection site beforehand.
Warm oil in syringe under boobs or between legs.
Inject.
Lay on heating pad.
My hubby gives me mine, so I alway lay down with injection side pointed up, he places ice, then when numb, I call him back to inject.
