At 10pm this evening I gave myself my 1st injection! I was nervous. My skin is tougher than expected and it hurt a little as the needle went in. I now have a small mark on my skin it may bruise as I wasn't happy with my technique as I was nervous. I will be better tomorrow night.
This is really happening! I have started my IVF!!!!

Woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteThe injections definitely get easier.
So exciting!! In the beginning of injections I would numb the spot with an ice cube which helped a lot. After a while I didn't need the ice anymore.
ReplyDeleteOh yay! Congratulations, we're so almost there :) After reading your last post about your reflection, I'm glad to have a blog friend who knows so much about what I, too, am going through. Our history is so similar... I'm thinking of you a lot. Good luck, and I'm sure you're gonna do awesome with your injections. Try the ice trick! And I put a heating pad on the area right afterward for a couple of minutes, they say that helps dispurse the medicine (and it's helped with the bruising). Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYAY! Just don't hesitate when giving them. That's when they start to smart. :) GOOD LUCK!
ReplyDeleteYeah!!! You are on the road. It is kind of fun when you start. I find that closing my eyes and just "going for it" works. I haven't tried ice, but I bet it would work. I also found out that the more injections you do, the less they hurt. You just kind of get used to them. Congrats on beginning. I can't wait to hear about the progress.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you!!!! Wishing you SOOOOO much luck!!
