I started writing this post 3 or 4 times and have decided I just have nothing to say today. I have a headache that has been lingering for a few days. I am sleepy and ready for the weekend.
I am still on O watch, waiting patiently for it so that I can call our IVF nurse and she can give us the go ahead to start Lupron. I am secretly dreading it. Don't get me wrong, I am very excited for the entire IVF process to be done, and I am trying really hard to focus on the end product (or what we hope the end product will be), but I can't put aside my fear and anxiety about the needles.
Hopefully 6 weeks from now I will be preggers and my fear of needles will have died:)

I was really scared about the needles too. My husband does my shots, which helps because I don't have to watch. He gives them to me after a hot shower which seems to help. Also, go really slow on the stims because they burn going in if you don't.
And drink lots of water. It will help to keep your veins plumped up, which I know sounds gross...but it makes the blood draws virtually painless. Good luck.
My husband gives me the shots too. I just close my eyes and wait for it to be done. The first one really freaked me out, and it took a little time to warm up to it. After that one, I was all set. It definitely gets easier.
i know that you can handle the shots, girl....
you're so close. so close. :)
