Gonal F & Repronex injections

I started these injections yesterday as the stimulation part of my IVF cycle begins.  My doctor continued me on a small dose of Lupron also.  After my shots yesterday I have a [/b]big, hot, red welt[b] like I was bitten by something.  Has anyone else had this experience?  Should I be worried?  My shots today did not have the same reaction?  Any thoughts?

Hi Denise.. I have been on Gonal-F.. for the most part the injections were easy and fairly painless.. I did get the occassional bruise.. but never  ared welt.

I had the same thing.  Rub a while after the shot to help the absorbtion, it will be much better after that.

Thanks for the responses.  My husband is giving me the injections.  They seem to be a little better today.  My nurse had warned me about PIO and to rub and perhaps use a heating pad, but she didn't mention the same thing with Gonal F.  I am going to try your suggestions tomorrow.
