Please help proluton question!

7 Replies

I got the needle ready for my injection into my bum but the liquid would not fit through the needle that i got with my stims. Its too thick. So i had no option but to use one of the big green mixing needles instead that also came with my stims. Is this the needle you're supposed to use and are you meant to put the whole thing in?! as the mixing needle is quite long! My partner has just put it in half way as we were insure.

We had this trouble it was horrible and think! We used green and I got my husband to put it in my bum. Good luck x when do you test?

Did you put the whole grewn needle in? I told partner just to go half way in as it looks dead long! I hope its still worked! Test on Wed x

Yes green is fine but needs all the way in. Blue is ideal really. I gave up using the drug after 6 weeks no way I could keep going for 12 weeks. I hated it x

I know exactly I’m sure your be fine. It is a lot of stuff to take once you come home hahaha

Yes- I’m afraid you have to use a bigger needle as the liquid is much more oily than your stuns. The needle does need to go all the way in as it needs to go into the muscle. It made me super tired for the 12 weeks I had to have it (I had prontogest instead) but it was worth it- 30 weeks today :)

Warm up the vial in your hand/under your arm before injecting- it helps. X

Congratulations! Not sure if its worked if he only put half the needle in then. He struggled too as he has got a needle phobia! I suppose i will do it properly all the way in next time! X
