I numb the area with an icepack and that really cuts back on the pain. I'm doing intramuscular progeterone in same place and the icepack is my savior. Good luck.
I agree, it was no bigge at all! esp if your already used to giving yourself injections!! GOOD LUCK! : )
i gave it to myself last month, and it didn't hurt. of course, i'm not sure i did it right, but there really wasn't any pain.
It was fine, no worse then any of the other injections, just do it fast.
depends how to define HURTS. :-) I have HCG trigger shot. It's sting when the medicine in your body.
