Giving yourself HCG shot

Giving yourself HCG shot

Does anyone know if the HCG shot hurts?  I have to give it to myself IM and I'm stressing over it.  I've done the stimulating meds in my stomach and they weren't bad.  Is there anything i can do to lessen the pain?

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.
