Hi girls.. I have to take Ovidrel tomorrow... There was so much commotion to get to this point the nurses never gave me a tutorial. The instructions from the makers of it say inject in stomach... But other paperwork from my RE says upper thigh.. I will call dr tomorrow... But which is correct?? Thanks in advance!!

Re: Ovidrel
this is a subcutaneous injection so both work. here is a link from my RE for a video tutorial http://www.freedommedteach.com/player/Videos.aspx
personally for my IVF cycle I never injected into my stomach, just the upper thighs. had some mental block LOL
the more central and meaty the thigh area was the less it hurt

Re: Ovidrel
mine always in stomach but i know others who have used leg or arm
as for doing it yourself,once u do it
once and the fear goes away it becomes second nature
best of luck!

Re: Ovidrel
I put it in my upper thigh. Don't remember the exact details but it was not bad at all. I did it quickly and was fine. And it worked, conceived DS that cycle so I must have done it right GL!
