Butt muscle injections are sexy...

 

 

Sorry, I had to! That's what I'm feeling right now. Tonight I had my first Progesterone in Oil shot (PIO). It's scary because it's such a large needle, and it's intramuscular (which is why the needle is so large.) It went well though, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Apparently my husband is an excellent fertility nurse! ;-) The injection itself didn't hurt that bad... It's the aftermath that does! WOW! Talk about a sore butt and back and shoulders. Here's the PIO and 22 guage needle in all her glory....

And here's my face right before my very first PIO injection! Andy is truly enjoying himself.

Annnnd, just to give you the full picture, here's my morning pills. I take about the same amount every evening as well.

So there you have it! I can't believe we're down to 6 days until the transfer! I received my itinerary today, Andy and I will hopefully be spending Tuesday afternoon in NYC before we head on over to CT. Hopefully the weather cooperates for this trip. Although 3 days on bedrest doesn't sound like the best time ever, the peace and quiet, uninterrupted TV time, as much sleep as I want, and a bed with only Andy and I (and not two little toddlers trying to sneak in...) sounds pretty much perfect right now. I'm currently researching restaurants in NYC so Andy and I can have a little belated Valentines day dinner on the night before the transfer, since we're not planning much for Saturday. I'll be in touch soon! XOXO
