Yep, I've had a bit of blood from IVF jabs, just depends on how still you are while the needles in, and where you jab, completely normal. I end up looking like a pin cushion by the end
Like the other girls have said, it's very normal to bleed a little and bruise up. I ended up only injecting on the right side of my tummy because every time I did the injections on the left I always managed to bruise myself. I once somehow managed to get a golf sized bruise from that tiny needle! It also seemed to be a little more painful if I did it on the left, but it was probably all in my head, lol.
Best of luck with your first cycle! I hope it's your lucky cycle
Oh, if I ever started to bleed a little I very quickly held my finger over the tiny hole to stop any further bleeding to make sure that none of the drug seeped out with the blood. Probably makes no difference, but it made me feel better.
Pregpan - Thank you! It's was such a pleasure to see your name pop up. It seems like a life time ago we were sharing our magical 1st pregnancy together. I hope you are keeping well x
Art - so nice to see you too. Thank you for the advice x
Thank you to everyone else also. You really helped put my mind at ease.
Egg collection was yesterday, 16 eggs (no wonder I felt like I was going to explode) and 12 eggs fertilized. So I'm thrilled with the results so far :-)
Thanx again ladies x
