The Reach Around

Monday night I received my first Intramuscular Injection of Delestrogen in the ass via my husband's hands.  I didn't have to look and I didn't feel a thing.  Ecstatic.  Then we realized that F would be out of town for my next dose and I would have to do the shot myself. 

This brings me to tonight.  I've been watching IVF Shoot 'Em Up for an hour.  Then I mustered up some badass, readied my syringe, twisted my torso around and pushed in the needle. 

I feel like a superwoman with a syringe.   I can do this.  I'm even ready for PIO.  Bring It.

Wow, you are super woman! :) I can handle sub-cutaneous injections myself, but don't think I could do an IM injection!

YAY!!!!! You are super woman!! I know it took me a long time to get use to injections (I didn't need them for fertility reasons, luckily oral meds helped me) ... but I have diabetes now.. and I'm insulin dependent... so I totally know that fear and building yourself up.

hahaha! I love the post title. You are going to get some crazy google traffic to your blog because of it!

You are a brave woman. I couldn't stomach giving myself the shots! Yikes!

No way could I do that! I had to give myself PIO for three nights while my DH was out of town - and I could not fathom how to do them in my tush. I did them in my thigh. Not fun, but do-able and I felt like a champ afterwards too!

Good for you for doing it!

I concur! My partner travels all the time and I had to do the injections myself from the very beginning. I felt like a CHAMPION.
