Clexane 🙈 advice needed 🌻

[Klndmr]

Hello my lovely ladies hope you are all well and enjoying some nice weather wherever you are 🌻🤗❤️🍀🌞

I'm on clexane for the first time and it stings so bad once injected. I guess due to being on aspirin and blood thinners too I bruise so much. I didn't get a single bruise when I was stimming but now my tummy is starting to look like a chess board.

Any advice on how best to administer clexane? Soon I won't have any unbruised space to do the injections lol🙈🙈🙈

Wishing you a lovely day and sending hugs and positive vibes to you all!

P. S for the first time I'm holding myself away from testing. Yayyyy fingers crossed I'll keep it up until OTD 9th of May 🤗🤞🤞🤞🤞🍀🍀❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗

Hi hun, you should put an ice cube on the area before doing the injection, pinch gently and take it at a 90 degree angle, change side each time.Here is a tutorial for you: m.youtube.com/watch?v=x9QQu...(Not working as expected?)

I was also black and blue! They are nasty. Put them in straight, pinch a big bit of skin and use cold ice packs. I also gave myself chocolate after every injection ❤️

I am the same. Had the odd one or two bruises from stim injections over the years but hardly any. Every single clexane injection I did came up in a bruise a few days later and my stomach looked like a large print dot to dot. I only had to take them for 10 days so even with all the bruises I was able to find patches to keep doing new injections but if you are on them for a longer period I’m not sure what you are supposed to do. I tried ice and inserting needle at different angles and couldn’t find anything that stopped them bruising. Sorry I can’t provide anything more helpful. Hopefully you are not on them long term and maybe ask your clinic what they suggest. Good luck. X

I think if all works out fine I'll be on them for quite some time that's why I got worried. I did use the technique with the ice today and no bruise yayyy

All I can say is it’s normal and I try and pinch a nice soft bit as hard as I can and go in nice and straight like the others say. Also my husband gets a bit of tissue ready and when I pull the needle out I immediately press it on the injection site for about 20 secs

Indie use the technique with ice today and luckily didn't get a bruise 🤗🤗🤗🤗☺️☺️☺️

Hiya Klndmr, I have been injecting it into my top front of my thigh. It still stings, but no where near as much as it dis in my stomach. I haven't tried the icecube trick. Good luck 🤞

[Klndmr in reply to Hanz89]

I will try the thighs too 🙂 Thank you xxx
