Hi, has anyone experienced a rash with injections? Anything to be worried about? 

Thankyou

I sometimes got a small red raised area around the injection site that lasted an hour or so and was sometimes itchy. nothing to worry about if that's all you have too

Try warming the injection before using it, sometimes it helps!

Good tip thank you I will try that tonight!

Oh and count to ten while injecting and count to ten again as you withdraw the needle. Also, it's easier to sit down and forward to get a good pinch of skin and make sure you alternate sides. It's a while since I had to inject buserelin but I'm injecting every night with heparin for my pregnancy so this is what I find helps.

And by warming, I mean take it out of the fridge and draw into the needle about 15 minutes before injecting and then warm in your hands or between thighs.
