So I decided to entertain myself by being a daredevil and inject my tummy with NO ICE.
What made me do it? I haven't a clue. I was still half asleep when I went for it, strangely enough I didn't even hesitate, and you know why don't you? Cause I'm a professional already. But I'm not going to lie, it surprised me to feel the whole darn thing. The painful part was after I took it out, it hurt like a mother! Let's just say I was fully awake after that adventure. I mean, who needs coffee when you have needles to jolt you up?
The next statement is going to shock you as much as it shocked me when I told myself: I'm actually enjoying this whole injection phase. I find myself being excited to when I have to do 3 injections a day, not because a-baby-is-the-result-of-all-these-shots thing, but because I'm kicking my fear in the arse every time I stab myself. And because I'm proud of myself for actually becoming a complete pro at it. And because I have ice to back me up. I'm totally not doing this again without ice, I'm no masochist.
And when Jeff's turn gets here to give me, yet another, injection in the rear area for a week, I plan on sitting in a bucket of ice in preparation. Not only because those needles are humongous, but also because I distrust him, he is no pro like his wifey after all.
I would let you give me injections, if you use ice first. Jeff? Not so much. LoL
ReplyDeleteYou are so brave girl, good job!
You actually sound like a masochist letting Jeff inject your rear considering he is not a pro like you! Forget the bucket, lay in a whole tub full of ice lol
ReplyDeleteLOL...poor Jeff or should I say poor Shanny!!! I'm praying for you two, I hope you only have to do this once!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't do it! Your so brave!
ReplyDeleteShanny the Injector lol
ReplyDeleteGlad you are kicking your needle fear in the arse, you pro you :)
Haha, dang girl! You are very brave. I definitely couldn't do it. I'm TERRIFIED of needles. The thought of a needle hurts me. In fact, I was in pain while I read this blog. Sympathy pain. My goodness.
ReplyDeleteYou entertain yourself by being a daredevil? Remind me not to let you entertain me :)
ReplyDeletePoor Jeff! I'm sure he'll take care of you, just don't upset him in those days and definitely use the ice. I don't envy you one bit with all those shots.
PS- are you going to do any of those Q and A's that are going around? You should, I'm sure your readers would love it. Well at least I do, I had fun answering mine :)
I also enjoyed injectables, mostly because I felt super proactive by using them! I hope you're responding well! Do you have an u/s to gauge your progress? Praying for you!
ReplyDeleteHaha you distrust him! I'm praying he does a good enough job for you or if he does it wrong that the ice will help keep your marriage safe :D
ReplyDeleteLook at you go!!
ReplyDeleteA professional injector. Except you get to pay to do it? It's almost genius! (I just spelt genius wrong... and then I spelt wrong -- rong -- MORON!)
Happy Thursday!
You are so brave!! I'm so scared of when my hubby has to do those shots for me. Yikes. He's terrified of needles and I'm just nervous he's gonna close his eyes and miss or something. :(
ReplyDeleteI feel so accomplished after my injections lol!
ReplyDeleteAnd you are just a few days behind me, don't worry - it will start to move very quickly :)
It really does get easier! Then the bruises start coming and you look like you got your arse kicked! I let the hubbs do the butt shots and I was surprised...he did a very good job! You'll be just fine!
ReplyDeleteShanny you are so brave! I kind of know what you mean about "enjoying" the injections. Its not the same thing, but when I was taking clomid and used the trigger shot I felt empowered. Like I was in control. I am praying for you girl I know this will be your lucky cycle!
ReplyDeleteYou're gonna get a gool ol' southern "ATTA GIRL!!!" from me!! I'm terrified of needles and often find myself on the ground, in a heap below the chair after they take blood or give me a shot! So, needless (or needles if you will) to say, I'm impressed!!! GOOD WORK!!!!
ReplyDeleteLMAO!
ReplyDeleteShanny the pro :)
Soon you'll be able to offer your injection services on ebay lol
ReplyDeleteYikes, no ice?!?! You are a brave brave woman!!! Hubby has to do my trigger shot while I lay face down on the bed, because I almost passed out at the dr office when the nurse was just SHOWING us how to do it. So glad to hear you're rockin those shots so easily!
ReplyDeleteI tried that sans ice thing once. Not fun. Don't do it again - Ouch!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! Go you on the injections!!! I'm supposed to start them next cycle. I read your timeline...good luck with tomorrow's appt and u/s! Hopeing for the best!
ReplyDeleteStanding ovation!
ReplyDeleteYay for becoming an injection pro!
It BETTER work!! You've gone through enough!
