Just shoot me
Well, my RE appointment on Wednesday went flawlessly. Really, it was very uneventful and all my hormone levels were where they should be at this point in my cycle and the ultrasound looked normal as well.
The only bad thing was that the phlebotomist really bruised my arm while taking my blood. Today it's several shades of purple, blue and green. Ouch.
And, tonight is the first of eight daily injections.
Last night Mike and I watched the injectible training video and my face went white as a real person pushed a real needle into her real belly. Ouch.
I even had nightmares about this last night, wondering how I'd muster up the courage to jam that needle into my belly. Luckily I picked up a bottle of wine to help relax me a bit before the main event.
So, tonight between 6 and 8, I have an appointment with a prick.
Did I mention, "ouch"?

I found that my anxiety about the injections was much, much worse than the actual injections. They really aren't as bad as your mind wants you to believe.
Hugs.

OOooooh, I hope it goes okay. I bet after the first time it'll be much easier - the fear of the unknown will be gone.
Just keep that bottle of wine handy...
