Injections for IVF

[Anonymous]

I need to do Lupron, Gonal-F and Menopur injections for the IVF. My question is can I do them in three different areas rather just on one side of of my tummy?

Yes. My experience is that you start to run out of tummy though...

That's what I did. You may also be able to do Menopur as an IM shot, which I preferred because it doesn't burn as much in the butt as it does in the tummy.

I would never volunteer for an IM shot over a little tummy one, even with the Menopur burn. I did mine all over but then when one of my ovaries had a lot more follicles than the other, I convinced myself that side had gotten more of the meds, so I went back to putting them all on one side, then the other, then the middle. Good luck!

That's funny...I did the same thing. This time I'm starting on the right because that one always seems a little behind!
