Progesterone shot in oil ???

Question

Does anyone here is getting progesterone shots every week ? I’m getting them because I had a premature baby when I was 25 weeks pregnant she’s now 3 ... I started getting them last week and today I got my second one 😭 My question is does it has to hurt ?? 💔 they hurt a lot for like 3 days 😭 .. I’m 17 weeks

Answer

I had to do them everyday for the first 9 weeks! My suggestion to minimize pain is numb the injection sight, and warm the oil by keeping it in your hand or bra beforehand. Before injecting, feel around for the least painful place. Put all your weight on the opposite leg (so if you inject on your right side, lean on your left leg), inject slowly and afterwards massage the area and move around. I would also massage the area every morning in the shower under hot water. Good luck!

Answer

My mom had these with my siblings and she said they hurt so much every time... 10+ years later she can still feel the scar tissue. But it's worth it when baby is born at term. Good luck 😊
