These progesterone shots are NO joke! I have only done a few and my back is bruised and hurting already. To say I want to do them for a few months more would be a lie, but doing them for 8-10 weeks more means we are pregnant and that I want more than words can say.
Our first night of them Ryan put on the numbing cream and put the bandage over, we waited the hour and when 7:00pm came (the time I need to take my shot) he took off the bandage and did the tester with a safety pin to make sure I didn't feel anything. Well guess what.....I DID! I felt everything and I started to panic! A crying fit ensued with my sobbing and saying I can't do this for 3 months over and over for about 15 minutes.
Just in case anyone is wondering why I was scared....Here is the needle and the 2ml of oil...
Yes it's big and yes that's alot of oil! NIGHTLY people NIGHTLY...
Anyways, we decided to put more cream on and let it sit for another 30 minutes and thank goodness it worked! I was a hour late taking my shot but it was worth it.
It has worked since then, so I am hoping it was a fluke thing. I have gotten pretty good at getting my blood taken and taking the little needles with no stress and no pain other than a pinch, but I draw the line at the big guns. How people do them with no numbness I have no idea.
THIS JUST IN....
4 more days till transfer!!!
In other news, Ryan is still sick, not as sick but his cold is pretty bad. He has taken up shop in the front room for sleeping and as much as I miss him, it's been kind of awesome to sleep in the middle of our king bed for a few nights. We are hoping he can come back tomorrow night, but if his cold doesn't get better he will be in the front room until the transfer at least.
Never thought I would spend my anniversary night not even sleeping in the same bed as my husband, no kiss, no hug, no touching. nothing. It was super sad. He did buy me beautiful flowers and gave me the sweetest card. Our plans for going out to dinner were scrapped and so I picked up Shrimp Taco Tuesday Cafe Rio and we ate on opposite ends of the table watching Shark Week and then he went back to sleep. So romantic I know, but we just need to remember we did it for the sake of our baby. We have waited months for this and a cold is not going to ruin everything!
Thank goodness two weeks ago Ryan surprised me and took me to the Venetian for a early anniversary date. He took me to Delmonico's (Emeril's steakhouse) and it was amazing. Ryan ordered the rib eye when it came out it looked like this:
Yeah 22 ounces of meat! He gave it a good college try but he did not finish :)
We also took a gondola ride and just walked around. It was a great night!
So why our household is full of sickness, and hormonal mess crying right now, we just need to remember we always have the Venetian :)
The shots hurt but are totally worth it! It is a HUGE needle! I can still remember my celebration meal the night I was finally fInished with them! Good luck....I have my fingers crossed and prayers coming at ya!
