Could you ever?

give yourself a shot?

I'm on day 3 of doing it and I'd rather give myself the shot then have Ben do it for me.  I can control how quickly I stab myself and I worry he'll be too rough...

could you do it?

I'd rather do it myself than let Shawn do it.

How's it going?

all good so far! I got to the doctors tomorrow for a follow up to see how things are growing:) the egg retreival will be sometime next week so I anticipate this week won't be eventful, although I think this month is going to fly by

I could never do it. I give you so much credit for being able to. When I was pregnant, for part of the first trimester screening I had to prick my finger and put the blood on this little card thing. I couldn't even do that. I had my sister who is an RN come over and I was still freaking out.

I dont know, I'm kind of a chicken when it comes to anticipating pain. I think I would do better if H did it than if I was to do it myself. Where do the shot's go?

I've been thinking about this and I think I could, depending on where it is.

I'm such a baby when it comes to eye drops, though.

they go in the belly under, a little under and to either side of my belly button. you have to grab your fat, stab yourself, let go of fat, and inject.

the one med Follistim is easy, but the Menopur kinda burns when it goes in.

Ouch, that sounds like a painful spot.

I think i'd rather it there than in the leg or the butt. some people have to inject their meds into muscle and the thought of that makes me cringe

I'd let Jeff do it.  I don't like needles, but I'd rather someone else do it.

Its a regular straight needle right? Not epi-pen style? Is it straight in or subdermal (right under the skin)? I had to give my mom shots of heprin like that for a while.

Honestly, I would have to get my self mentally prepared for that every time. Chris might do it because he knows how important it is. He gave me Embrel injections twice a week for 6 months, but they were the epi style.

yep subdermal. seeing the needle go in is more bothersome than the actual feel of the needle.

I had to give myself shots, it does get easier after a while. I just did it myself.

I have been reading your blog, but I still cannot post!
