Standing on the edge of a cliff...
That's a little melodramatic, but I certainly felt like I was on the edge of SOMETHING tonight. I started my injections tonight. The process took something like 30 minutes, though I hope to get it down to three within a couple of days.
I got the medicine ready as per the instructions, and then I sat there with my belly skin pinched between my fingers and the needle a hair's breadth away from that skin. Paralyzed. How on earth did I get myself into this?! What made me think I could give myself a SHOT?!
I finally did it, though D was the one who actually depressed the plunger. I couldn't do it...I'm not sure it was possible given the angle of my hands. The medicine stung like heck going in, so I hope it works. I don't know how many cycles of this I can handle. I'm so thankful for D; he sat there with me the whole time, as patient as could be, trying to talk me through it. I'm an awfully challenging wife to have.
Good luck with the injections, and a spinkling of baby dust to you. You are a brave woman!! (Comment this)
