Has anyone else had the "joy" of sticking themselves in the belly with these shots? So tired of feeling like a pin cushion!

I am also tired of sticking myself.... Better safe then sorry!!

Oh yes. 10 days worth. I stick myself one last time tomorrow. My belly is all purple from them...they hurt so much. How long do u have to do them for?

14 days!!! I have 4 days left... I missed one day.

How nice.. I have them for a month. Well, surgery date was March 11th. So I don't have too much more. But I do have to take gardisil (Sp) for 6 months and another pill for three.. that's in top of all the vitamins. I guess it's a small price to pay but it's still a pain.

I had to give myself Lovenox shots for 2 weeks. Today was the last day.

I had to do it for 24 days. Didn't look forward to it

I had to do it a few years back and also during most of my last pregnancy. It gets easier, but it's no fun. The bruises look terrible! It will be worth it!

I did it for 2 weeks, with some pretty gnarly bruising. I didn't quite understand, I give myself shots weekly with a 26g needle and never bruised like that either intramuscularly or in the sub q fat. And the sting was pretty fun too.

It bruises because it's a blood thinner. Better to endure a little pain or bruising than a clot or DVT or stroke or worse. for the men stop whinning and man up and the women.......it's only a little prick.......you should be used to that by now........

My doc has his patients on it for 3 weeks. My belly looks like a war zone. But hey if it helps prevents clots, I'm all about it!

Since January 2013 I was taking lovenox twice a day in the hospital, then four times a day at home. Now I'm taking fondaparinux once a day. Hopefully this will be my last month on it, then I will start wafrin pills for the next 6 months or so. At least I won't have to be shooting up my belly anymore
