ISO nurse to give trigger shot

[Anonymous]

I can't do it, and DH is unavailable. Does anyone know of a traveling nurse who will come to the house and give the shot?

Thank you!

You can try---Do not know if she will be available. She may also have suggestions of other nurses.

There is a woman named Pam Collins who does this: http://www.homeinjectionsplus.com/. My nurse at Shady Grove recommended her to me, but I never ended up using her. Just as a side note, I was a TOTAL needlephobe and had my husband do all of my IVF injections. I ended up doing an IM injection (same needle as an IVF trigger injection) a few times during an FET cycle and was fine. I iced it for about 20 minutes beforehand and didn't feel a thing. It was not pleasant, but I survived and was quite proud of myself.

one of the nurses at your clinic probably does home services, ask there

I used the services of a visiting nurse from Home Injections Plus (a previous poster provided the contact info). The nurse actually works at Shady Grove and was fantastic!! I'm also a needlephobe and admit that it was not bad at all (especially after icing). My shot trigger was at 9:30 pm and cost $125. There is a slightly higher rate for shots needing to be administered after 12 a.m.

I thought about using this service and am so glad I didn't- I literally didn't feel it all three cycles. But someone did do it for me.

I was so sure that I would not be able to give myself the injections and when push came to shove and I remembered what the pay off could be I just did it. My husband sat right next to me to give support. It made me feel in control.

she felt control doing the shot herself, and not having her husband do it. i feel the same way, but can understand someone not wanting to do them.

I can understand not wanting to do the shot yourself. I didn't think that I was going to be able to do it and something just came over me and I took charge. Good luck to you OP!

I just called them, and they only do this service for SG patients. Any other ideas?

Thanks!
