Okay.. where do you get the shot? What part of the body? Does it hurt? It's a shot.. how can it not! Dumb question. RE is wanting to do IUI with clomid and hcg shot.. just curious about the shot. I hate needles!!! Thanks girls.

I think I did mine in my upper thigh. It is Intramuscular, so is usually only supposed to be done upper thigh or buttocks. Out of all the shots I did, buttocks and progesterone were the worst. HCG is thin so it does not hurt so much. Good Luck!!

I did mine in my tummy. It wasn't that bad, it's not any worse then the rest of the shots. You get used to them. I was really nervous at first also but you just have to do it! Just try to remember the reason your doing it, it tends to make it a little easier. Good luck.

My doc has me do them sub-q too - so I did it in my stomach. It's not too bad, but then again, I've gotten pretty used to all these shots after doing so many! You can do it!!

Thinking about the shot is more painful than the shot. I recommend the hip and have someone do it for you since you hate needles. You'll make it, and my theory is, if it works, it's worth it!!

My RE gave me the HCG shot in the arm every time but the night before my egg retrieval I had to do it myself and they said to do it in the abdomen or thigh. I did the abdomen cause I felt it would be more effective. Hope this helps.

I had to do mine in my butt. Best thing to do is numb the area with ice then you don't feel anything but a little pressure.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
