Fyremadel, she’s a stingy one!

[LisaBeatrix1980]

Good morning, first time using using Fyremadel this morning, I’m injecting that one side of by lower belly in the morning, and stims in the evening the other side, does that sound ok?

i picked stomach because I thought I’d keep it all on the same place, easier, but wow she’s stinging like a mother Hubbard! Has anyone else had that, or did I do something bad on my first time 🙈

Thank you xx

It happened to me as well,what helped was not to rub the local site and just leave it like that to air dry for about 10-15 secs and then cover it(clothes you are wearing)..Just don't press it or rub it else it will turn red,hope this helps

Thank you that’s helpful advice, it’s the same today but I think I’m less panicky knowing others had the same. Thank you x

Yes it is awful. After jabbing it the injection site kinda burns and the area becomes a bit red with warmth. My nurse advised me to use ice compress and it did helped a bit. I also used ice compress after the jab which helped a bit. I just use the ice pack given to me when I purchased my hormone jabs and wrap it with a towel then put it on injection site till the area is cool before I jab it. Then after the jab I put the ice compress at the injection area again to soothe it. When it is less stingy I remove the ice compress.

Based on the PIL of this injection from: medicines.org.uk/emc/produc...

Very common (may affect more than 1 in 10 women)

- local skin reactions at the site of injection (predominantly redness, with or without swelling). The local reaction normally disappears within 4 hours of administration.

Hang in there! It is a very common side effect and having experienced it I totally understand how you felt.

thank you, I’ll give the cold compress a try tomorrow but it will certainly help with the sensitivity around the injection area for sure! x

Hope it helps a bit. As someone who is afraid of needles, this burning sensation was worse than the needle prick pain itself.

I experienced this as well, I found that one to be a real stinger! And my skin did turn red after in the area, but it did go away.

Wishing you all the best for this round!! 🧡

thank you for the reassurance, and for the wishes xx

Used it for the first time today. And yes the burning sensation is very strange. Will try an ice pack tomorrow morning. To see if it betters the stinging. Day 6 into injections and getting there slowly. Thanks for your questions and advice on Ivf ladies.
