Today I had my regular delestrogen shot plus my first progesterone shot. I was super nervous and I am not sure I will ever get used to it. Good thing Dan is a really, really good shot giver.

| In goes the delestrogen! One shot down one to go! |

That makes me queasy just looking at those!!! Good luck!!!!!!
Wow. 3 ml is a lot. Way to go Dan! You too Elizabeth! -Kathryn
At least you only have to do the PIO once a day- we have to do twice!! Good luck!
if you haven't heard of the EMLA numbing creme -- I highly recommend!
I have been using ice to numb the area before hand and that seems to help, I also massage the area after to work the meds in. Still I know it HURTS! I feel for you:)
Only 4 more days! WooHoo! :)
I actually thought about all the NEDC girls out there who have to do PIOs twice a day. I honestly can't imagine that especially since I leave for work at 6am every morning. The PIOs don't really hurt (yet). For me it is more mental distress than anything. I just breathe deeply and make sure I don't look. =) I am 95% sure I could never give myself a shot so I am super glad Dan is a good husband and is willing to do all of them. =)
WOW! you are sooooo close! I am glad Dan is there for you! Strange as it sounds...I'm looking forward to my shots b/c that means I am that much closer to our transfer. I am so very excited for you!!
p.s. I posted the totals!
