Third Times a Charm

While this may hold some truth in some things, it didn't hold truth in my shot giving abilities. The first and second shots went great. No hesitation, no worries, very few tears. I was really proud of myself. However shot number three did not go as expected. Why? Because I froze. I literally couldn't bring myself to do the shot. My mind wouldn't let my hand do the work. I felt like such a failure because I had already given myself two shots and why would this be any different. I was at my parents house and Jared was at his school, so I think that the different environment and people really didn't help. After about 40 minutes of trying I had to have someone give me the shot. But I feel ok about it and I'm just going to try again tonight. I didn't realize the emotional impact a shot would have on me. I have been feeling pretty good so far. Little bit of pain and tension in my ovaries and a few hot flashes, but nothing to really stop me in my tracks. My kids at school are keeping me very busy and I am so thankful for that. I'm glad that I am feeling ok and I can't wait for the Dr.'s appt. next Friday. Thank you for all of your kind words and I just keep thinking about the end result of all of this hard work.

I give you credit for giving yourself ONE shot! I was never able to do it! DH gave me every shot and there were 100's of them after doing 1vf 2x in 6 months!!! Don't feel badly for having someone else do it! I did 0 shots on myself!!
