Hi Purplepixie, I always planned to do the injections in the morning but told by the nurse that they had to be done in the evening. We're you given the option then.

I was told I had to do them in the morning!

Oh! Maybe each clinic and case is different. We'll I just have to do what I'm told and work out a time that is best for me, but reckon your right and late evening seems best.

I did mine at 7pm.....I knew that my bf would be home by then to do the injections for me. I could never do them in the morning coz I'm so unorganised first thing and I'd be rushing to do it x

Hi Emmy007 I will be doing my own injections my bf far too clumsy also not bothered about needles so prefer to do them myself. I will be on supercur so maybe that is why I have been told to do them in evening. What were you using any nasty side effects.

Hi, I also used suprecur, I didn't get any side effects at all even with the stimulating inj......I had to do my own a couple of times and they're really not bad at all. I was expecting mood swings and crying fits but I had nothing luckily. Weirdly I was excited to do the injections....I think it's coz we had waited so long for treatment that something was finally happening :-)

Hi. I did my injections early evening because I didn't want to have to get up early on weekends to do them. I also did them myself, injected my in thighs and tummy. I used a hot water bottle on the area I was going to inject. Seemed to make doing the injections easier. Good luck. They aren't too bad.
