Bad Sticks

So, I've started Bravell.  I found out Monday that I had been using the wrong sized needles to inject them in.  Nice.  I was using the ones that were about 2 inches long.  So, Monday night, Travis was very late coming home... so I spent about 10 minuets trying to psych myself up.  I used the correct-short- needle, and holy cow.  Must be because it doesn't go as deep, and so it's closer to the nerves, but ho-ly cow!  I thought it stung before! 

So I get done, put the needles away, and go sit back on the couch, right as I hear the garage door open... oh well, at least now I know that if I have to, I can inject myself.  When he came in, he asked how it went, and I lifted up my shirt to show him.  Holy Blood!!! I had NEVER bleed before... but I guess with these shorter needles, something is different, because I had about a dime sized splotch on the inside of my shirt. 

Last night, I was at our neighbors house helping 'Grandma' babysit the twins and their older brother.  I ran home real quick to shoot up.  This time Trav did it for me.  Soooo Stingy....  and more blood... and this time, a little bit of bruising.  Now I probably shouldn't complain, because I'm sure this is nothing compared to the Lovonox that I'll be starting soon, and if I get a baby at the end of this, it will, of course, be worth it.... but still. 

I had forgotten about the hot flashes... that come in the middle of the night.  Last night about 2:30am, I woke up so freeking hot.  It was yucky!  I got up and walked around a bit, and finally cooled off.  I guess it helps that my OCD husband has programed the thermostat to go to 60 at night. 

Hopefully the 6 days of FSH will be enough to get us a pretty follicle next Monday so we can trigger, and have our 'date' before family comes around!  I'm excited because we should have a good turn out for Thanksgiving dinner.  I guess I should start planning out what I'm going to be making.... and then start shopping for it!

I also am 'Mrs. Crafty' as Trav calls me, so I'm trying to figure out some cool place settings to use.  If you have any ideas, let me know!
