dp thinks i am nuts ( he's probably right)

look forward to hearing your replies

I've been known to inject in the kitchen, lounge room, study and bedroom. I would keep most of my injecting stuff in the fridge, so if I was comfortable injecting while standing I'd just inject in there. Most times I would want to sit, so I'd take my stuff to whichever room I was occupying at the time (usually lounge room or study), but if someone was visiting, I'd take it to the bedroom and inject in private. The sharps container tended to stay where ever it was last used... bit different for us as we had no children or animals to get into things.

I had everything in the kitchen so I did it there. My meds were in the fridge & needles/swabs/sharps bin were al in a cupboard next to the fridge, so it made sense for me to just stand in the kitchen & inject there. I had to think about where to put the sharps bin too - I had a curious 2 year old at the time & also friends didn't know about IVF so it had to be out of sight for them too, family knew so no big deal for them.

I'm voting for the kitchen as well - it was/is just easier. I had my sharps bin on the bench next to the fruit bowl and just put it away if we had people coming over that did not know about the IVF. I have injected in my kitchen and the kitchen of friends - just because the meds live in the fridge!

good luck

I did mine in the bedroom and kitchen.
I kept the sharps bin on top of the fridge (it's still sitting there, have to dispose of it properly one day)

I had a bottle of anti-bacterial handwash beside the kitchen sink to wash my hands first too.

Most of mine were done in the kitchen, as the others have said, the meds are kept in the fridge so that is where I did it. The only exception was the trigger shot. Because these needed to be 'mixed' and used a needle rather than the pen device I felt more comfortable/relaxed sitting in the lounge.

I've also done it twice in the car for when we were travelling or out to dinner when my trigger shot was due.
