Today is THE DAY! I start my hormone injections! I was very nervous about it, had a crying, "why-can-bad-people-all-over-the-world-have-babies-with-little-to-no-effort-and-I-have-to-torture-myself-for-even-the-opportunity-to-conceive", pity party this weekend. Then the most wonderful thing happened- I went to the dentist yesterday and found out I need a root canal today. Now, this would not be wonderful under normal circumstances, but I am finding that I am much more anxious about the root canal than I am about the shot. I also plan to be very tough later and say things like, "Well, this will be a breeze after that root canal!"
I watched the injection videos on line last night and they demonstrate how to do everything from drawing up the shot to injecting. Charlie was very helpful and calming. He really put me in a state of zen by saying 3 times during the video, "Oh, God, she's not really going to inject herself on this, is she?!" and, "There's no way she's really going to do an injection!" She did, and she lived through it.
I think I'll be fine. Really. I have plenty of subcutaneous (fat) tissue, and I am using this process as an excuse to eat fast food- got to keep those injection sites plentiful! I haven't decided if I want Charlie in the room for moral support or if I want to go it alone. I do better and get less nervy when I'm by myself, but I do want him to know what works and what doesn't for when he has to give me injections. I will try to update and let you know how it goes later this week.
I'm sure it will be a breeze after that root canal!
