I'm A Professional Injector

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.

  2. 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

  6. 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.

  7. You entertain yourself by being a daredevil? Remind me not to let you entertain me :)
    Poor 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 :)

  8. 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!

  9. Haha 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

  14. Shanny 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!

  15. You'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!!!!
