I’ve had a few due to bleeding and a previous miscarriage. In your arm it can be quite sore, less sore in the bum. It only hurts at the time though and zero side effects after
Had it 3 times with my first. (Due to extra procedures where there was the possibility of our blood mixing) and they were very painful.
I've had two and never phased me, no side effects will be having a other in a couple weeks
I’ve had two so far, one due to an earlier bleed and then a main one - the first one I didn’t even know she’d started/finished as I felt nothing (I look away) and the second was a slight prick but i wouldn’t say it’s painful, also no dead arm after it and I usually get that with a vaccine so that was good - everyone is different but definitely helps to look away I think
I’ve had it a few times now and I found it painful so have had the last 2 in my but cheek which are totally painless. If you’ve not had it yet then I’d defo recommend asking for it to be in your butt as it’s a long needle and can cause muscular pain. But that’s just my opinion
@Tamsin, I will try it this time. I’ve had it in my outer thought and arm, and both hurt so much. I literally felt how the needle reached my muscles.
@Ana I nearly fainted the 1st time I had it. So painful!! Go for your bum next time, so much better x
Had mine with my first not needed for this one. No side effect and it was painless
