clexane lubion

[Ffion-wyn]

Hi all!

I have my transfer booked for Thursday! ☺️ Ive been recommended clexane and lubion for theis transfer, its my 4th, and wondered if anyone else is one them or one of them? How are you feeling on them? I slept last night 11 hours and thats not like me. I think then combined really wiped me. They alsp really hurt to inject, especially the lubion. Let me know if anyone else is on them ans how theyre reacting. Thanks 🤍

I take both of them for transfers xx

I don’t feel they make me any more tired than usual. Clexane really stings and bruises quite bad. I find it easier to inject it in my thigh xx Good luck for Thursday xx

Top tips for lubion:

Warm it under your boob for 5+mins before injecting.

Injection as low as you can towards you bikini line.

Injection really, really slowly. Like 60-90 seconds.

Rub the area vigorously aftewards (well, massage, but on the surface not in deep.

I.picked up those tips from various posts on here and it helped massively.

Others have also recommended icing before or after. I've not tried that, as do t get on with ice, but the rest really helped.

I am on both now, at first super tired then few days later my body settled and I did need to sleep long time to recharge. The Clexane does hurt me, and I have enough fatty layers for it to cope. Alas. A cold compression helps to lightly numb the area. All the best xx

Interesting, so maybe it will just take a few days then for it to settle! So painful at the mo. Thanks and to you xx

The ice cube helps sadly I have needle scares but they go in time apply aloe Vera

I took both for many transfers and took them right up to 12 weeks with current pregnancy, your tummy ends up pretty bruised and it can be a bit nippy and the can make you a bit tired generally (the lubion) but other than that they are fine and were VeRY worth it for me! Good luck xx

Hi Ffion-wyn , I was on clexane & lubion for my last FET. I felt fine but there was a lot of bruising from the clexane. I started doing clexane in the thighs and lubion in the belly and it was a lot better. Good luck!

As an aside, the FET where I was on both these medications was the only time ever that I got a BFP, so I think these medicines do help. Sadly it didn't stick in my case but I think that was more because of the embryo (it was untested).

thank you for replying. Im so sorry it didnt work in the end. You put in so much. Thank you for your comments. Ive heard lots say to do it in the thigh but that scares me more! X
