Since it looks like I can't get pregnant on my own anyway, I'm tempted to give my CBFM away. If I decide to do that, anyone want it?

My medication left Boston last night and was flown into Allegheny County this morning at about 3am. It's now in Cranberry, and likely will be to the FedEx where I'm going to pick it up at around 3 this afternoon. Eeeeek.
There were two choices for progesterone: Injection once a day or a vaginal suppository twice a day. BOTH SOUND TERRIBLE. I went with the injection. If I get pregnant, I'll have to do it every day for 12 weeks. I woke up at 4am and laid there in a panic that I made the wrong choice. I'm going to see how our first few injections go and how much progesterone they ordered for me. If I think it will be horrific, and won't be eating too much in unused meds, I might have them order the suppository.

CheesePlease - Aw, I miss Mama Cheese. She was so nice to me. Tell her to come visit me and McBaby when the time comes Oh yeah, and you and Bean should probably come, too. Pittsburgh is fun, I swear. Ps - Bean's swimming videos KILL ME.

LMC - I had H have to help me after my surgery with the progesterone once a day via vaginal suppository. (I was having issues bending and reaching at that time) I can understand going with the injection. I am crashing the meet up since it is local.

They claim that DH will have to help me with the injection because, unlike the others, it'll have to go in my ass. But I'm pretty bendy, so I'm hoping that I can just do it myself.

I'm KIND OF FREAKING OUT. That caps lock was accidental but appropriate.
I have to start taking progesterone after my egg retrieval. If I get pregnant, I have to continue taking it every day for 12 weeks. I had two options: Injections or a suppository I'd have to shove up there twice a day. Wait, did I tell you this? Whatever, the point is, I just watched the how to video for the injections and almost threw up. The needle is huge and you have to really stab it in there. I think I've made a terrible mistake. It's not too late to get the suppositories, but I'd be flushing $100+ down the toilet in not using the injections. Holy shit.

LMC - I agree with PP. Have J insert the shot. I asked H and he said he would have rather gave me a shot in my ass over putting the progesterone in my vagina.

Barring something happening, I'd be able to shove 'em up there myself. And I can definitely make J do it, I'm just SCARED OF IT. God, I'm such a baby.
Not as big of a baby as the one woman one of the nurses was telling me about. Holy shit. Her husband had to physically lay on top of her so that they could take her blood. She was thrashing around. How the fuck you gonna get pregnant and have a baby if you can't even have your blood drawn?

That lady is not going to like pregnancy. Heck I now even know which arm is easier to find a vain. I used to not know that about myself.

XP from the trouble TTC board over on GBCN: I did it!!!
The Gonal F was a damn cake walk. That needle is so tiny. The micro hcg was just the tiniest pinch going in but the medication itself stung going it and is still a little sore if I do something like sit or stand that flexes my ab muscles a little. But definitely not bad at all!
And to add just for my special ladies here: Holy shit. We're really doing this. I can't believe it.
J seemed anxious about the injections so I snuck up and did them while he's working out. I didn't want any more stress.

Thanks everyone!! It is so weird to think that, in as few as 10 days, we could be going to the hospital for egg retrieval. It's going to go by so quickly.

Glad it's going well! I was terrified of the injections, too, but once I did the first one, I didn't mind it.
I think we missed our window this month. I got the smiley on Monday, which means baby dance within 48 hours, but we were not at all in the mood Monday, and then Tuesday my husband was sick. JFC Seriously? I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So we waited until Wednesday and hoped for the best.

I'm sorry addie . I really hope it worked!! Thanks! I really think I'm just kind of over all of it. The TTC, that is. I should really just focus myself on moving forward with the foster-to-adopt and stop setting myself up for disappointment every month. I will concentrate on vibes for your success instead!
