I'm based in Wales/Bristol area and there's one weekend that my DH is not around to administer my prontogest injection. As the GP is closed on a weekend, I think I'll need to arrange for someone privately. There is no way I can do it!!! I know-it's probably not that bad!
Any ideas of private nurses/private clinics that are open-especially the Sunday!?
Gogo, I know you must be very scared to try and do these yourself but I promise you they really aren't as bad as you think.
I've done all my own injections and the last two cycles I've used Gestone/Prontogest and they really are easy.
This is how I did mine (had to learn as no one else could do them for me)
Warm vials up in my bra, clean the area, prep the injection then ice the area with an ice cube after a minute or two place the needle head against the skin and slowly glide it in.. withdraw the injection and slowly massage the area.. I do all of this whilst looking back through a mirror.. Honestly you really won't feel very much and I found them so easy.. easier than doing the darn clexane as they just sting to hell.
Hi ladies
Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to reply! At the stage now of considering doing it myself! It's amazing the things we'll do that we never thought we would in a million years!!!
I felt the same but then when forced to do it by myself I had no choice and so proud of myself now as have to do them nearly daily! With the help of emla cream it took me ages to get the courage though, you can do it!!
