We had a good weekend. Didn't get the closet cleaned out but that's not surprising since it's been on the To-Do list for 2 months. We did see "The Hangover" and liked it a lot.
It's all about fun, laughter and happiness for us right now because we've officially started the next cycle. Yay! *oh my gosh* Woohoo *deep breath* It's going to be good.
I took the Lupron out of the fridge and wondered why it cost so darn much. It's the tiniest little half-full bottle. The good thing with this stuff is that the shots are in the little, itty bity insulin syringes so it's easy.
Well....pretty easy. It's not as though I give myself shots every day. I mean the last one was in March and I only had to do one. Easy peasy. I just sat on the bathroom floor, closed my eyes and "jabbed" my thigh. For some reason that was easier than doing it tonight. Tonight it was an itty bity needle in the muffin top. No big deal, right? Wrong.
I decided to do it while I was watching "Shopaholic". Robb was playing a game on his computer but I saw him keeping an eye on me. I washed my hands, got out all the equipment, read the instructions and swabed the skin with alcohol. I loaded up the syringe...easy peasy. The only thing left is to jab it in.
Ready aim. Nothing. Huh? That's weird. Let's try that again. Ready aim....just do it! It's a teeny weenie needle for God's sake! It's not even going into a muscle. Come on! OK. Let's try it again. Now you have to picture me holding the syringe...moving in and out, closer to my tummy- taking aim...ready, steady, go! So I do that.... one, two, three, stick!
And then I pulled it right back out.
I stuck myself for nothing. I pulled it out! What the hell is wrong with me?! Now I have to do it all over again. Robb at this point looks up and offers to do it for me. Remember, he's been keeping an eye on me. "No. I can do it. I don't know what's wrong with me." Then I roll my eyes and we laugh.
Ready, set, GO! DON'T PULL IT BACK OUT!!!!
Finally. It took 20 minutes but I did it.
I am a fruit loop.

You are SO NOT a fruit loop. I had the same trepidation for my last IVF cycle. It is just unnatural to jab a needle into your gut. I always had to take a sec, have a deep breath and then jab. I am not afraid of needles at all, but it is just against all natural self preservation instincts. It gets a bit easier after a few days. I'm cheering you on. Best of luck.
I hear ya'. Jabbing myself with the stupid trigger shot took about that long both times I tried! So excited for you starting this cycle!
