Day 15...the night before the needle

The last two weeks have been a bit of a rollercoaster, Headaches, a little emotional and a little snappy but all in all it hasn't been too awful. (Phew!)

I had a blood test yesterday morning to see if I could start injecting the FSH to grow my eggs, after a poor nights sleep due to a headache I phoned the clinic and they confirmed I am able to start injecting.

I thought I would be beside myself with relief but now honestly I am more scared about what the next two weeks of my life will be like. I am sure that I will do it OK, but it is just the fear of the unknown and I did something stupid (Very stupid) I youtube'd the Egg pick up proceedure. What was I thinking? Clearly not much.

All I have managed to do is freak myself out about it all, I tell you some time ingorance is bliss.

Anyway back to the original part of my blog, the night before the needle. I do feel nervous about starting these injections. I wonder what kind of person I will be while I am on them. Will I be a train wreck? Will I be super emotional or will I breeze through it without any problems at all. I guess time will tell.

I am getting Mark to do the injections for two reasons really, One. So he does feel left out of the process, I don't want it to be all me me me as it is effecting him just as much as me and the second is becuase I am a little freaked anyway about hold a sharp implement to my skin and sticking it in.

So this afternoon I pulled out that little black esky of hope and we went through it all and tried to remember the steps to the injection pen, bits need to be screwed on and preped and although it isn't rocket science it is a little overwhelming the first time. I am sure that all will be OK and that there should be minimal pain involved (Hopefully)
