Can Progesterone Injections In The Hip Cause Sciatica Like Pain?

I am doing IVF tx and had embryos transferred 6 days ago. Today I am experiencing what almost feels like sciatica pain. Pain from my right hip down through my leg, esp at my knee. Could progesterone injections in the hip cause this discomfort or is it more likley IVF didn t work and I am having menstrual problems. These are not the symptoms I usually get before menustration.

Any injection at the buttocks can cause sciatica...it doesn't depend on which injection it is and only depend on how the injection is taken... improper taking of can cause it... In sciatica a shooting pain would be felt from the buttocks to the back side of leg...
