Yikes!!

I went to the Dr's appt today. The drive up there was terrible it was raining super hard, and the interstate was crawling. But I did survive the drive. The actual appt was not so great either. Dr says things are not as far along as she wants. Now we will double the dose for the injections, no big deal right? Right, except, we need to give them in the muscle not sub q(just under the skin), which means not in the belly fat, but in the ass or thigh, again no big deal. But wait there's more, I also can no longer use the nice small 27g pin needle, nooo, i have to use the giant inch and a half long 23g needle, in the muscle, ALL the way in. Yikes! Needless to say I was NOT looking forward to that in any way shape or form. But I did it. Myself. In the front of my thigh. It hurt. A LOT. Two more of them, and i go back to the Dr on Thurs. At least the needles wont get bigger! But here's a pic for comparison, nice small 27g on left, and big painful 23g (which is three times longer by the way) on the right. Enjoy =)

One down, how many to go?

We started the injections today. It wasn't so bad. I had myself worried. Brad stuck me. It didn't hurt like I thought. Those are the facts running through my head now. So, that's huge sigh of relief from me, I was nervous, and I don't really know why, it's just a shot, with a tiny needle. I do believe it was better to have Brad do it instead of me. I prepped the needle/meds and all he had to do was give the shot. One day down, 4 more to go, then I go in for a follow up on Monday. Not sure what happens then, I do know that i have a trigger shot of Ovidrel in the fridge waiting for them to say go. So lets keep it all crossed that they see what they want to see on Monday. Yay for getting the first one out of the way, should be downhill from here, right?
