Hit me with your best shot!

Ok so maybe I spoke to soon about being to handle the progesterone shot like a champ.

Yesterday was my first dose of PIO (progesterone in oil) and I was all geared up to handle it like a boss. I warmed the oil...warmed my skin with a heating pad. I picked a decent spot on my thigh and bam! -- in I went. At first I thought -- hey this isn't that bad. I barely feel a thing. Then I pushed in the oil and felt a slight sting near the end. Again-- not too terrible.

An hour later I felt a knot in my thigh and my entire muscle cringed every time i walked.

Everyone in the office scolded me. "You have an office full of competent medical staff that could give you your shot!"

"I know," I replied -- "but I really wanted to see if I could do it." Lesson learned.

Good news though! That one shot signed me off for the last hormone check prior to transfer. Progesterone levels were 12.8 and needed to be 10-25. So at the end of the day.... totally worth it.

Tomorrow is shot #2 and I'm recruiting some help. After all -- I have about 40 shots remaining.

Next step -- Fly out and meet my womb mate.
