Small ball under skin after injecting clexane help anyone else????

[Del92]

Small ball under my skin? Anyone else have this? I'm 11 weeks, got 6 injections left. I'm brusing terribly which you would expect but when to a/e and said it's a suspected haemtoma. Seems to have gone down so fingers crossed x

I haven't had this but fab news you have so little injections left to do I have 4 left and my scan is Saturday when I'll be 12weeks plus 2 days! Getting a bit anxious now but all the signs are there so staying positive, hope your scan is soon too xx

Yes I did.. The midwife and doctor told me it was normal and not to worry... I injected clexane twice daily until I was neatly 18 weeks pregnant.... Now I stopped starting to go down... All the best xxx

Del92 I read the title and had a little chuckle to myself. When I was doing clexane injections I got the ball under the skin one night and text my friend who is a nurse asking her if I had caused damage. 🤦🏻‍♀️. I was anxious about doing the injections anyway so when i saw the bubble I was thinking about it being really dangerous getting air bubble in veins. Obviously it's not even into a vein. I still laugh at myself for the text I sent her.

We worry so much don't we! Think I've done my husbands head in but can't help it xx

Definitely. I've been going to counselling recently and had just mentioned about the worries I had over injections.

It's a simple injection (talking about gonal f then the clexane) but the anxiety I used to have was ridiculous. Am I doing it right? Argh, can't get this bubble out- if I get it out by pushing it out then I loss solution: will this affect things? What if it doesn't work because I pushed that air bubble out.

I was so glad when I didn't need to prepare the clexane. They were sore in comparison but at least I didn't have the anxiety of making them up. When I saw the bubbles that are already in them I couldn't believe the ones that I used to stress over when I was doing the gonal f ones.

In my first pregnancy I took a really bad reaction to penicillin so ended up finding it really difficult to inject in a bit of skin that wasn't covered in welts. There wasn't a bit that wasn't bruised from the injection or had a welt. 🙈

Bubbles, needles, timing- all in a days work of getting where we want to be. 💪🏼

How long did yours last? X

[Hidden in reply to Del92]

The first time I done the injections for 6wks and second time 5wks.

If the pregnancy had continued I'm sure they said it was until 36 weeks.

No I mean the ball under the skin x

[Hidden in reply to Del92]

Sorry, I think they took a while.
