Conquering Your Surrogacy Injections
Is there anything more painful than medication injections during a surrogacy journey? Yes! Three things that immediately come to my mind are: getting a tattoo, getting a piercing, and even having a bad hangover. If you’ve ever experienced any of the above, you know that they cause you pain for a short amount of time, but eventually, the pain goes away. The same applies to injections.
While in the process of becoming a gestational surrogate, you will be required to take medication directed by the IVF clinic in order to prepare your body for pregnancy. Because IVF pregnancy is not the same as natural pregnancy, medications need to be introduced to your body that developed naturally in your previous pregnancy(ies). Medication given to the gestational surrogate can be directed to be taken via vaginal or oral suppository, and/or by subcutaneous and intramuscular injections.
The surrogacy agency nor the case manager will know what medication you will be given until the IVF doctor reviews your medical records, examines you during the medical screening, and works out an official cycle calendar for your embryo transfer. Not all IVF clinics prescribe injections as part of the medication routine but there is a very high chance that you will be injecting medications as part of your surrogacy journey.
What to Expect and Additional Surrogate Support
You may experience some soreness, redness, itchiness, bruising, or bumps in the injection sites. If any of these happen, do not panic. Those will go away eventually. Trust me, I am one of those lucky ones that experienced everything! You can always reach out to your GSHC Surrogacy Agency case manager for some advice to help decrease these effects.
