Does subcutaneous injection hurt?

For egg freezing stimulation, you’ll need to perform subcutaneous injection at home every night for 14 nights. Subcutaneous injections are those delivered in the fatty tissue that lies between the skin and the underlying muscle. Choose a site that has a little extra fat rather than extra-lean parts of the body. The best site is on your belly, 1 inch away from the navel. Medication given this way is usually absorbed more slowly than if injected into a vein, sometimes over a period of 24 hours.
Here’s how big the needle is:

There’s no bleeding! You’ll forget about the pain within 5 minutes. However, if you’re super scared of the first injection, here are the things you can do to reduce the pain:

Put an ice pack on the injection location.

This will numb the area, making the injection less painful. Do this before swabbing the skin with rubbing alcohol.

Wait for rubbing alcohol to dry.

After using an alcohol swab, wait for the alcohol to dry completely before the injection. This helps reduce any stinging sensations.

Adjust the injection speed.

If the release of medication causes pain, slowly injecting the medication may help. For some people, inserting the needle, pushing down the plunger, and removing the needle as quickly as possible is less painful.
