What Can Happen If Air Bubbles Are Injected Along With Progesterone?
I am worried! I just injected progesterone in oil because I have done IVF and I am pregnant. This has been prescribed by my doctor and it s an intramuscular shot. The problem is that I just tried to inject the needle into my hip but it didn t go in all of the way. My skin is very tough after taking these shots for almost 3 months. I took out the needle and moved it to another spot and it went in just fine. I am worried that I didn t push up on the syringe or tap it to get the air bubbles out before I stuck it in the new location. I had pushed it up on the the first try to get out the bubbles but not the second try. Should I be worried? Even if air bubbles were there, would that be enough to cause harm?

Hi
Don't worry it do not cause any harm to you.
Before injecting we have to remove air column to avoid pain full injection and spillage of drug due to vaccum creating by air which enter first .
