Welcome to IVF Shoot 'Em Up - the most comprehensive collection of injection videos made by ART patients that I know of on the whole of the world wide web!
There's a menu to your left, under the disclaimer, so you can find what you're looking for, and a wish list just below so you can make a request - and you are encouraged to make your own video, especially if you're using a medication we haven't seen in action yet. If you have any extra tips, please leave them in the comments of each post, and if you have a blog or post to a message board, don't forget to grab a button to let others know we're here.
Hopefully you'll gain some confidence after viewing this site. Now good luck with your cycle!

PIO given IM in the backside (jishimer123)
This is a video of my friend helping me take my first progesterone shot four days before the embryo transfer! Please talk to your doctor about proper procedures, because we might not do everything perfectly. Thanks!
Thanks jishimer123!

SQ injection in the belly given by husband
This is Chris' first time giving me a shot. We thought it would be good for him to practice before we have to move on to bigger needles.
Thanks dlrust1!

PIO given IM in the backside by self-injection (decateurblair)
I am a Gestational Surrogate, and I have to give myself 2ccs of PIO by shot every evening. This is what I do, only my 3rd time doing it.
Thanks decateurblair!

PIO given IM in the backside by self-injection (CavieJasper)
I decided to give myself the intra-muscular shots, instead of having someone else do it. It helps me have some fake sense of control in this infertility crap. This is how I do it! Note: This is not for training purposes and each patient has their own dosage, specific doctor's orders and techniques. This was done to show a friend how I personally do my own shots and I am not a doctor, just an IVF patient. Please direct all questions to your own RE.
Thanks CavieJasper!

Lovenox/Clexane given SQ (CavieJasper)
Lovenox is a blood thinner, burns like hell, and leaves terrible bruising. However, after 7 IVF cycles I have learned some tricks to help with the pain and bruises. Here they are, I hope they help you, too. Note: This is not for training purposes and each patient has their own dosage, specific doctor's orders and techniques.
