Re: Please tell me........
you definitely draw up the lupron with the 18g needle and then switch.
do you have 25g or 27g needles?
The lupron you are doing goes in your stomach right?
The 22G needles are usually for the IM for the progesterone
good luck

Re: Please tell me........
Are you talking about the progesterone injections?
I couldn't do them myself for 2 reasons:
One being, I couldn't reach around to administer it
Two - I couldn't do any of the injections, my husband had to do them for me. I never was able to actually do the injections myself.
ETA: I never had to switch any needles for the lupron. The needles I used were the orange capped insulin needles.

Re: Please tell me........
I just got my big box of meds last week and freaked out when I saw the needles for the PIO shots. I watched a video on youtube of someone giving themselves the intramuscular injection and it didn't look that bad. I'm sure that it becomes routine after the first few....or at least I hope so.
