Help!!

Just done my first needle on my own and it was abit of a nightmare if im honest....it didnt feel like i was pushing anything in and felt like i had to push it really hard and there was still some left after the 5 secs it said to keep it there so i put it back in 😩😩 i phoned the nurse and she said it should be ok as there will be some left over as the needles go upto 150ml but im flapping now...is that normal, did u feel like something was going down when you were pushing? Do you hear a click or anything? I hope my fridge isnt too cold or something. Ffs stressful!! Xx

I've found that some syringes push in really easily and some are harder. I've never heard of a 5 second rule though, my nurse said take it as slow or as fast as you want. I've never had any which click. Don't stress about a little bit left over. You will get used to it I promise xx

I remember finding it so hard to begin with. I had to really psyche myself up for it and the first ones took me about 20 mins... by the end of it all you’ll be a pro!

How much liquid was left in the syringe? There will always be a tiny amount but it’s usually minuscule.

Try not to worry - they will be keeping a close eye on you and if they think you are not getting enough will adjust your dosage.

I am glad you are doing your injection with your nurse today. I am sure that will help you to feel more confident.

Good luck xxx
