PIO and allergy?

For those ladies using PIO... quick question.....

How do (did) you know that you were allergic to the progesteron in oil?  I am currently having to inject 2ml (YES, 2ml - OUCH), and have developed a welt like pattern around the injection site.  It is usually red and itchy and hurts!

Is this normal?  I have used PIO before - the 1st time only 1ml and no effects.... the 2nd time 1.5ml and seemed a little itchy.... but now.... my rear is soar and itchy....  

I feel like an overgrown babboon walking around scratching my backside!!!

Any suggestions?

I just called my Dr., and am having it switched to a different base.  She thinks the reaction is from having to do so much.
Thanks Helen!
