…to start the injections. not that I’m counting down, but only 4 hours and 30 minutes until my first injection. Skip will be giving them to me. He has yet to practice on the orange, though he says he will before he stabs me. To say I am nervous would be a blatant understatement. I am very nervous and hope it goes well, since there will be many, many more after today.
The good thing is that it just means we’re that much closer to the egg retrieval and embryo transfer. I hope that this will result in a viable pregnancy — I’m not sure what’s scarier… my husband giving me daily injections into my hip or the possibility that this will fail and we’ll have nothing to show for it but $13,000 spent.
I am on my way out to my first acupuncture appointment. Skip’s been going for a few weeks, he seems to like it. I’ve done acupuncture before, so I’m not too worried about it. The last person I went to a few years ago was pretty weird, so I figure this time has to be better.
I’ll update after we do the first injection… wish me luck.
Oh, I almost forgot… I took pictures of all of the needles and medications. Figured if this works, it might be something to look back on and remember what all we went through to have our second (and possibly third) child. Here they are. Oy.
