The injection (The dreaded moment had arrived)

So it was finally 6.15am and Mark had to go out to the factory to pick up a cupboard for his job in Brisbane today (Great timing his first day back at work was also my first day of injections).

He arrived home and came in the room (I heared him I was just being lazy) he came and asked me if I wanted a cuppa and some breaky with him, which I said I would love a cuppa but couldn't face breaky as my tummy was churning with nerves.

Honestly, I just wanted it over and done with, so I could get past it. The nerves & the reality finally hit me this morning and I felt myself choke up with fear. I handed the bag of hope over to Mark as he was trying to eat his breaky and I said this needs to be done at 6.30am so can you just get it ready to go (it was 6.25am) and he prepared everything for me and he said OK are you ready for this, I nodded as I fought back the tears. I always thought I would be more brave about it as it never really phased me up until yesterday when I was told I could start.

He came and stood behind me and said

OK, I am going to place it in your tummy and count a few seconds, then plunge
the thread, I will then hold it for 5 seconds & remove it.
OK? Don't look.

So I turned my head and winched my eyes and I waited...and waited for the feeling of the needle going into my skin. The next thing I heared clicking so I looked down and I said, it isn't in there Mark, cause I can't feel a thing. He responded It is my love I watched it go in and made sure it was right, "Are you sure cause I can't feel anything" as he pulled the needle out. I questioned him again...surely I would have to feel something, right? Well I didn't as it was all over and done with. What a relief. I was still nervous about any reactions I might have to the injection so I asked him to stick around for a while, which he did, he left at 7.00am for work.

I am just so very relieved that day 1 is almost over, one more dose of Synarel spray tonight, just to kick that headache of mine into full gear, but hopefully I will rest well tonight knowing that it wont be hard to do.

I am off to see Richard my accupunturist tomorrow, so another round of accupunture to ready myself for the growing of the eggs and hopefully the implantation of our baby. It is going to be a long month from now.
