One day down

I feel so much better now that we got through those first shots. It really wasn't as bad as I thought. I was stressing it for the last 2 weeks. Right before we did the injections, JP had to chase me around the room for a bit. I really didn't want him to give me those shots. I kept yelling "don't let it hurt me!", "are you sure you know how to do it right?!" and "wait, wait, just give me a minute!". He didn't do much to make me feel comfortable either. He was a little impatient. Understandable since it was midnight and he just got home from work. He kept telling me to "just do it, don't look at it". But just the sight of him holding that needle pointed at me made me want to bolt. It was quite comical. I was sure being a baby and all for nothing really. The Follistim shot did sting some as it was injected and afterwards. Today my thigh is a little sore where I got the shot. But it's not anything I can't handle. The Menopur was the one I was worried about the most because it's injected deep into the muscle. After stalling for a few minutes, I finally decided to get it overwith. I lay on the bed, on my stomach, took some deep breaths and called my dog Piper to come and give me snuggles and distract me. It worked! JP gave me that intramuscular shot and I barely felt a thing! After a few seconds I said to JP "was that it, did you do it?". Surprisingly the shot spot doesn't feel sore today like the Follistim spot. Using ice helped numb the skin where the shot was done. I iced before and after . I also used a first aid antiseptic and analgestic which also numbed the skin. Today when noon came around I walked over to JP and said "it's happy shot time!" he laughed. I'm a little worried though, I think he's kind of enjoying sticking it to me..... Just kidding! I think I'm going to make it afterall. I'm actually starting to get really excited.
