Hi I had to do the same thing. First fill I had took one minute...the second time my port was tilted and she didnt want to take the chance on poking the tube and creating a leak. Anyhow, the fluro was simple...took 5 seconds to do. Good thing was, it left a tiny mark where she inserted the needle, so right after I looked at it so i could remember for my next app. My next app my port was tilted still but i pointed out the little mark and she tried there and got it in. The fluro is no big deal, i just didnt want to have to go to hospital every time for a fill.
