Lubion and bruising

[StarsAllAround]

Hi all, I have been injectioning lubion twice a day now for almost 4 weeks was fine to start with but the last few days every injection has resulted in a bruise and today I have a lump from the injection. I am running out of places to inject! Anyone else had the same experience?

Keep going you are nearly there. All the best with your cycle I always end up covered in bruises too so I feel your pain. I try to alternate the injection site between my tummy, legs and bum. I look like I’ve fallen down the stairs at the end of my injections 🤦‍♀️

I stick to my things as go IM. Only did it once subcutaneous in my stomach and it hurt for days x

I was on Prontagest so not sure it’s exactly the same but they were so painful too and I ended up with lots of bumps and bruises. My clinic told me I had to always do my bum too so didn’t have much choice! Are you warming it up before injecting? That really helped me xx

I had not thought to warm them up first, will definitely do this! Thank you x

Put a heat pack in the microwave and then wrap it around it for a minute or so until it feels warm but not hot. Good luck! Xx

Thanks all for replying! It's good to know I'm not the only one covered in bruises 🤣

Lubion is a bugger for bruises and lumps. Like Gem said, warm up the solution. When you inject do it really slowly....I found that a game changer and also inject lower, not on the mid range of tummy (think biniki line low sonif you do get a bruse then clothing doesnt make it worse)....and also do for the sides. Don't get me wrong I got the odd lump here and there but not too bad. Good luck.xx

Thank you for taking the time to reply and your advice 😊. All the other meds I have injection have been fine just this lubion has made me black and blue 🤣. Xx
