Today was a big day.
This was the last monitoring appointment before my ER, now officially scheduled for Sunday morning.
My RE counted 9 big follicles on each side. Let us hope they grow grow grow. And the little ones too...please catch up.
I am at a point where I feel like I have to pee all the time. I am bloated (I know this will only get worse) and always tired. This is just a list not a bunch of complaints. I love each of these symptoms cause it means things are working. I appreciate every pee. Every tug. I appreciate my dirty dirty house cause I don't have the energy to clean it. Yes. This is uncomfortable, but it is far from the worse thing I've experienced or will experience during this journey.
I trigger tomorrow night. I am scared of that needle. Anyone out there who has done an IM needle PLEASE give me any advice. Tell me it's going to be okay.
Just did my trigger Tuesday night and it was a piece of cake, I hardly even felt it. Just make sure you take the weight off the hip you're injecting and take a deep breath. I didn't have my DH count to let me know when he was going to do it so I couldn't wince, he just did it. If you're really nervous you can ice it for like 5 minutes before.
ReplyDeleteYou'll do great!!
No advice but wanted to say GOOD LUCK! I am so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteNO advice, but you will do fine. :) good luck!
ReplyDeleteGL! I hope this is your cycle!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even feel it....and I'm a total IM wuss...so don't worry.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
I have everything crossed for you! My SIL did the IM shots for 3 weeks and never had a problem. I'm sure you will do great, goodluck. Grow follies grow.
ReplyDeleteI laid down while DH gave me the IM. It was fine. The nurse digging around for a vein is WAY worse! Just massage the site a little bit afterwards, and that helps.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you! Good luck with everything!!! I'll be praying for you!
Yahooo!!!
ReplyDeleteI did my trigger in my thigh, pinch the fatty part and just held it like a pencil. It didn't sting and it really didn't hurt. You can do it! It's not hard!
ReplyDeleteI promise.
I have no advice, but just wanted to say woohoo!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI am doing IM PIO myself and it is so easy. I understand your fears as I was really nervous about the IM injections too, but once I did it and found out it was a piece of cake, I had to laugh at how worked up I got. Good luck at ER!! Sonds like you're going to get lots of good eggs!!!
