Susten Injection Needle Advise
I’m currently undergoing IVF treatment and will be moving to FET next week. My doctor prescribed Susten progesterone injections for 6 days and advised me to have a nurse administer them.
Today, I took my first dose at a maternity clinic. The nurse switched to a thinner needle because the original Susten injection needle was quite large and could have been painful.
Will using a thinner needle for the injection cause any issues?

No, changing the needle will not affect the treatment process as the prescribed dose is being administered.
If there is pain or redness...you can apply icepack and tell your doctor in next visit.

The needle size does not cause any harmful side effects, rather a small bore needle does not create much pain. So don't worry.

No issues , it just reduces needle prick pain.
It won't reduce the effectiveness of the injection.
