Last night I couldn't get in to post. I was so frustrated!

Well we had our nurse session on injections. It went well. The traffic was slow, no holdups. We got there about 5 minutes before and Aaron had to go get some juice so by the time I got to the actual office it was about 2:31pm. We waited for about 20 minutes and then she called us back. Honey, my nurse, is younger than I thought. I thought she was an old lady but she seemed around 33-35 years old. SO we went over our schedule and our protocol in detail. She explained to me about all the appts I will have to come in for and also the actual retrieval and transfer.
We practiced the injection on a artificial skin thingy and I made Aaron do it too. She said she would only teach us on the Lupron so that way we don't forget everything else. I stop the bcp's on the 31st (yeay) and start my other injection on the 8th and I will also have my first u/s then.

I talked to my boss this morning and gave her a heads up and again she was very supportive. I don't think how easy and painless she has made this process on me. I need to really thank her one day. My appts fall right before and after I get my new sick and vacation leave. I will probably fit right in with what I have now (4 hours). Everything is just fitting like a puzzle. :)

So Honey told us to pick a time that we could do our shots. We will then have a one hour window before and one hour window after just in case we stay out or are going out. So we picked 9:30 pm. We ate dinner (soooooo good, Aaron made steaks on the grill!! YUM) and then I just watched TV and played on the computer. I kept looking at the time and it was sooo slllooooowww. Usually my nights go by so fast that it seems I get home and then I need to get ready for bed. Aaron had been giving me this grin all night like "its almost time..." PUNK. lol So finally it hit 9:20 and I told him to get it over with. He washed his hands, iced my leg, then got my needle ready with the Lupron and then cleaned the area. I picked my outer leg because I cannot even imagine getting a shot in the stomach. I kept telling him "wait, wait," and then he would get close and I would do it again and again. He tried like 8 times and I kept pulling away. It was funny! Then he said "just look away". So I did and I held my teddy bear tight and then he did it! I was like "THAT'S IT????" I swear I didn't feel anything!! I bled a bit but that was it. Actually it hurt afterwards more than the actual needle. It was a little red but I massaged it and it got better. This morning I don't feel a thing. So I was happy and now I am not scared. Aaron was sooo good and sooo sweet. He said to think of my children and I tried but I couldn't. All I could think about was the needle. lol.

Sooo that was our first injection experience. It was kind of special and sweet. For some reason, I felt sooo close to him after that. <3
