I do not know what was used to disolve the progesterone. We have our patients use progesterone disolved in sesame oil. There is a lesser risk of allergic reaction. I do not know if you are allergic to the vehicle for the progesterone. Another possibility is that the injection was not given deeply enough.
Good luck for future cycles.

If the injection was not given deeply enough how long does this tendorness last?

I really do not know how much longer you will have the skin reaction. I expect it will improve over the next week or so.
Good luck.

I had the same problem. But after 10 days it came to normal. I had severe pain too for which I used hot packs.
Good Luck for future treatment

My last shot was 2/14/06 and I still feel tender. I can feel it when I run. I don't have severe pain but just very very tender.

I receive shots also and the area where I recieve my injection is always tender for a couple days and I am also experiencing some itching too.

The symptoms you are experiencing are common. The progesterone injections are still the gold standard, and most of us are too cowardly to not prescribe them.
Good luck.
