Since The Hubby is out of town, I had a grand plan to have one of my co-workers give me my first progesterone injection tonight before I left work. Luckily since I am a nurse, there is no shortage of qualified injectors floating around. Good plan, bad execution.
Lupron brain over her left work in a rush and forgot to have my designated shot-giver shoot me up first! Balls!
Finally I worked up the courage and after probably 10 minutes of staring at my ass cheek with the syringe ready to plunge...I did it. And it wasn't that bad. The worst part was the darting; after the needle was in it was smooth sailing. I walked and lunged around and massage the heck out of my butt trying my best to contract my gluts and hopefully disperse the oil. Now I'm sitting on my heating pad hoping it helps. I already feel my muscle is a bit sore and judging from how I felt after my IM HCG injections, some degree of soreness is just going to happen.
I'm considering this a successful first day. Hoping for many more weeks of this!
That's a super successful day. I keep thinking I "could" do it if I "had" to...but I certainly don't want to. Did you stand on one leg in front of a mirror? Or were you laying on you stomach and reaching backwards?
ReplyDeleteGood job!!! Here is to the start of many successful PIO injections!!
ReplyDeleteYou're a rockstar... I think I'd have gone to her house with my vials and needles. I'm just not brave enough to stab myself! Glad day one was a success!
ReplyDeleteOMG, you gave YOURSELF the shot?! Wow - I'm impressed! Glad it went well :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you!!! You are right, the worst part is the darting. By the end of my PIO shots I was worried my butt would never go back to normal.... just so you know, it does ;)
ReplyDeletebut good work with the heating pad! I'd never tried that
Such a rock star! Good job, girl!
ReplyDeleteGood for you. I did all my own PIO injections last round.
ReplyDeleteLooks Legit and Good knowledge that you have!
