Clexane injections

Hi ladies, I had my egg collection yesterday, which was no where near as bad as I thought it'd be

The Clexane injection however?! Ho-ly sh*t!! Why does it sting so much?!

And how long will I have to take them?!

Hi there, I took clexane on my last cycle up until I got my bfn. I found that pulling the injection out slowly myself before the mechanism on the injection engaged the automatic withdrawal of the needle was the best say to stop it stinging. I found the slower the better. Do yours have the automatic withdrawal thingy on them? I am the carrier of a chromosomal abnomaility which in turn causes a blood clotting disorder. I was told I had to take them up to 6 weeks after giving birth if I got a bfp. Have you been diagnosed with a blood clotting disorder? I hope this helps you in some way xx

I took it all through pregnancy and for a few weeks after. I found icing the area before and press firmly with the ice after injection, don’t rub as this can lead to big ole lumps under the skin. Hope this helps. X

I’m on day two of clexane. I did heparin last time. They are mother fuffers! I imagine it’s like a wasp sting (never had one, touch wood) xx
