I'm not new to ivf but it's my second time around and while being a Mom, I'm finding it tough to cope with certain waves during the shots.

Just did a cetrotide shot for the 2nd time and now have a red itchy rash. Anyone else get this and if so, did you find a safe way to make it stop itching.

Hi, found this to be the case as well with the injections, checked with the nurse and they advised it was to be expected 😕 To help with the rash I used savlon or nappy rash cream and it took the itching away instantly. hope this works for you 🙂

Hi Pokie1230. Make sure you give your injection deep enough. If it ends up in the fatty layer it can cause a reaction. Diane
