Being a born and bred Irishman, it would be amiss if I didn't wish you all a Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Only a few more days to go until my wife has her beta done and we know the results of this cycle.
Hoping that the luck o' the Irish is on our side!
Cheers! Or as they say in Ireland, Sláinte!
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all!
Tonight I complete my (self-proclaimed) reign as Injection Master and it is fine with me.
With three lovely mature follicles, at 9:30 p.m. tonight we will do our last shot of this cycle and then hope upon hope that it is the one. My wife has her IUI on Friday morning.
She's nervous. Her usual doctor can't do it and she hasn't had much luck with the one who will be performing the procedure.
But I am hoping that against all odds one of these little follicles comes through for us.
Thanks to all of you for your kind comments and hopeful words. Know that they are appreciated by both of us. If you could spare a good thought or two for us in the coming days, know that they would equally be appreciated.
Cheers to you all!
I am self-proclaiming myself the "Injection Master" because I'd like to think I am mastering the art of giving a good shot while my lovely wife endures the more painful end of intramuscular (IM) injections. If this were an Olympic event, I think that I'd be in close contention for the gold.
My wife hates needles. Hates them. No one really likes them do they? I don't. But I don't really mind them either. My wife, however, is terrified of them. If you had asked us ten years ago if we ever saw ourselves doing at-home injections we both probably would have laughed you out of the room. For her to be going through all of this is just amazing to me. She is such a trooper and I am awed by her and all of you that go through the many, many injections.
Since she is doing hers via IM, it's easier for me to give them, and in her case it's the only way she'll ever get them done (her words). We've been doing pretty well with them this cycle, though one or two nights have been more painful than others and I always feel horrible on those particular nights. It's not payback from the Provera I swear.
The great news is that she has been responding really well to the meds this time and has at least three contenders for her upcoming IUI. At the rate we're going, that's probably going to happen by the middle of next week or so.
I am feeling really good about this cycle. It feels different from the others. Things just seem to be coming together better. I don't know if it's this combination of meds, just luck, or my master injection skills, but I'm hoping it all adds up to some good news in a few weeks!
