I started my hMG injections today, and just couldn’t do it myself….and if you’ve been keeping up with this blog you know by now that my husband is of NO help in this department, lol. And to make matters worse, we’re out of town this weekend at my dad’s house. I totally chickened out and had my aunt, who’s a nurse, give me the shot. Oh well. I’m not going to beat myself up over it……so long as I get the medication I’m one step closer to where I want to be. I won’t know if the medicine is working until my ultrasound on Wednesday, but it certainly feels like it is…..but then again, maybe it’s the Clomid. I just feel a lot of action going on in my ovaries today…..kind of like period cramps, so I know something is going on. Just finished my last dose of Clomid tonight, so far the side effects haven’t been bad at all this cycle!
I wouldn’t be able to give myself a shot either! I hate shots of any kind so kudos to you for at least trying to do it yourself.
I feel like I kinda had a little bit if prep for the world of infertility injections!! I’ve been giving myself injections for my arthritis for about 4 years now!! Doesn’t make it any easier and I still have some serious anxiety before I do it, but you’re right, as longs as you get the medication you’re one step closer!!! ❤️
I think I’ll need an HCg shot Tuesday evening, and I’m terrified. My husband is a surgeon, so more than qualified, but his patients are always out! I don’t think I can do it myself though…
It’s tough!! If my husband could help I totally would have him do it. Good luck!
This morning at my appointment they drew circles on my behind. Now I’m really nervous as they seem so high. I swear there is bone in the area these are supposed to be given. AHHHH!
Lol, yea it is pretty high. Promise it doesn’t hurt…..working up the nerve to administer the shot is the hardest part!
