[quote=Anonymous]I did all my IM shots for a DE cycle that lead to a BFP (so 10+ weeks of shots). My friend did  a search online and found some youtube videos of transexuals giving tips on how to give yourself a shot. She said they were better than IF videos.

For me, I didn't want to ice the area because I didn't want the oil to seize up and thicken. Based on the needle length  alone, it looks like it would hurt A LOT. But I found it to be just a little pick on the surface of the skin, then nothing.

The trick for me was heating up the oil before giving myself a shot. I used a heating pad that you put in the microwave. I let the filled syringe sit on the heating pad for 1-2 mins. Then I gave myself the shot, then massage then sit on the heating pad until it cools.

The best way to find where you should do the shot is put your hand on your hip (fingers forward, thumb in back). Then go down 2-3 inches from the webbing to your thumb. That is the ideal location.

You can totally do it yourself and save $75-$100 per session.
