I did mine, but DH did my trigger injection. he did pretty good, but it started to sting towards the end, think it was because he was taking it so nice and slow.
At one stage, I found I was messing up my technique and they were hurting me. I asked DH to take over, and it turned out he was more scared of injecting me than I was of injecting myself! If he was at home, he'd help get all the injections ready for me. I used both lucrin and puregon so I'd have two a day. At one stage I was having three per day when they were madly trying to stop me from hyperstimulating so it was helpful to have him hand the syringe or pen to me ready to go. It got him involved without having both of us freak out heaps.
I think it's a really personal thing for each couple. Just because one couple is fine with him doing all the injections doesn't mean it's wrong for another couple to have her doing all the injections and vice versa. It's a matter of figuring out what works for you.
DH does mine most of the time and if he is away or timing is not suitable I'd do it myself. So he is practically my male nurse now...he is pretty good with it now and I do think do it on the bottom hurt less for some reason.
If I do it myself, I'd do it on my thign, I bruised myself twice by doing it on my tummy plus I always think doing injection on the tummy will make it bigger, I know its not true and its silly but I just can't do it there....
