Those that have had an HCG trigger shot in the butt?

Question

Anybody have any tips or tricks on how to receive it??? I'm really freaking out about getting the trigger shot since it's the intramuscular kind. Can you lay down when you get it? Does icing help? Etc. Etc.??

I'm doing a clomid and injectable combo cycle and any advice on how to make the trigger shot in the caboose better....I'm all ears!

Answer 1

My HCG shots were not intramuscular - what are you taking? I used ovidrell which I loved because it was a small needle, quick pinch and no pain.

I did do a cycle with the intramuscular progesterone injections.

You do not want to ice the area as it will cause the medication to thicken and not flow into your body as easily.  The best thing is to use a bit of heat (heating pad / warm towel) to warm the area and then have someone else give you the injection.  If it makes you more comfortable, you can lay down.  After the shot, repeat the warmth to help spread the medication and if you are sore you can follow it with ice after.

Good luck!
