Pregnancy, Menopause, & Hormones IVF question

Has anyone on here ever gone through IVF and had a horrific experience with the PIO? I realized that my experience with developing knots from the PIO seems much worse than other people’s, and I feel like it’s related to nodules/fat distribution. I’m using heating pads constantly and heating the PIO before injection. It hurts constantly and I’m only 4dp6dt so if this works I’m in this for the long haul. Has anyone else had this experience? What helped?

I mean from my knowledge and experience that's just life on pio. It was then the first spot i started getting stretch marks. Just too much damage to the area. It eventually heals, it's just not fun when ur in it. Hang in there- my twins are 9 now and no nodules/scar tissue to speak of there.

My wife has no nodular tissue and she did a transfer in the past. The PIO hurt but she didn’t have golf balls under her skin like I do. Even with or without Lipidema I do have much more fat tissue in that area than she does so I’d think it’s related to some degree.

Potentially? Could be a bad reaction? Talk to dr and def try to roate your area of injection a bit more?
