Did my first injection tonight, feeling proud that it’s done and I managed it! Although know there’s still a long way to go! Did anyone else have itching and quite red around where injection had been done while down regulating?

I found the first one the worst! Yes sometimes it felt itchy like a little bite :)

They get much easier when you get used!

Well done! 💪

Hey well done! Yes i had itching and it was quiet red around the area, but as a few days went on it was better also i noticed when the skin is already warm it doesn’t itch or go red but i dont know if thats just me. How are you getting on with your injections are you on buserelin? X
