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!
