Progesterone injection relief? (IVF)

Oriana🍀

Hi all!!

I am going to be a gestational carrier for a lovely couple in Massachusetts and I have done my first progesterone injection this morning. The initial jab was not bad; but as my husband injected the medicine I could feel a deep uncomfortable pain and all throughout the day it has gotten worse 😖

Now I’m just wondering if maybe I didn’t massage it enough? Or if I should apply heat afterwards? My intended mother did not do this and got through them. But my whole butt cheek hurt like hell and I had a panic attack a little bit ago thinking about doing another one in an hour. Was in a moment of weakness going to beg for a suppository tomorrow lol but that has its cons also!

Ladies, what helped you get through these injections?! Also, if this is not the best group could someone advise where I can put this?

Thank you for reading!!
