I was totally dreading today. Today was the start of the progesterone injections. :( I was totally freaking myself out. I HATE needles. The shots almost prevented me from doing this. I finally realized me getting daily shots shouldn't stop me from helping someone have the baby they wanted to badly. The intended mother has done this whole process three times already. If she can do all this so many times I should be able to do it too, right??
So the appointment was another easy one. Quick internal ultrasound to check my lining. The doctor was very happy. He said everything looked perfect again and he showed me a darker spot on the screen that was the thickess spot in my lining and where he was going to put the embryos. Then they took me to another room to get some bloodwork to make sure my levels were good and show my husband how to give me the injections. They also lowered my hormone pill back down to just twice a day. As nervous as I thought I was before, now that it was time I was way more nervous. Ugh!! So the nurse asks me to pull the top of my pants halfway down so she can mark me. She get a sharpie and draws a giant rectangle on both sides of my bottom. It was a lot higher than I expected and way more to the side. If you drew an imaginary line dividing my cheek in half my injections go on the outside, upper half at the top quarter. The shot didn't hurt nearly as much as I was anticipating. It wasn't fun but it was totally doable. Yeah!! Good news= shot is so much easier than I thought. Bad news= I have to have them TWICE A DAY! Oh my goodness. I couldn't believe it when they told me. Oh well, at least it isn't as bad as I thought. So we are all set for the transfer on December 10th. Only 5 days away...
