I started the fertility shots this evening. I was prepared to feel overwhelmed and get anxious about it, so I started getting everything together about 15 minutes before it was time to give myself the shots. I had to give myself 3 shots, total, in my belly which included 4 medications. After the first 2 shots, I told JP that I wasn't sure I'd be able to give myself the 3rd. I looked in the living room where he was sitting in his chair and saw him covering his eyes with his hands! I said, "What are you doing?" To which he replied, "Honey, I can't watch you do that!" Who knew this big, tough country boy would wimp out on me over this!!!!
Hopefully, he will get over this pretty quick because it may be a long 2 weeks if I have to give myself all of these shots on my own!! I'm fine when I'm aiming the needle at someone else, but there's something unnerving about having to hurt yourself. I'm completely fine with someone else giving me my shots. I may have to enlist the help of a nurse friend to get through these shots in my abdomen!
My next appointment is Tuesday when I will just have labs drawn. I'm not looking forward to driving 4 hours just to have my blood drawn, but that's just part of the deal and we knew that going into this deal. The results from Tuesday's test will determine whether or not the dr will need to increase any of the medications I'm taking. I will know by Tuesday afternoon and then I will have to order more medication to get through the rest of the week.
I'm excited and nervous as we move along in this process. I'm ready to make some eggs!!!
