Day eight of the final full IVF cycle in our quest to chase our little miracle - 125 iu’s FSH plus Orgalutran injection
Folks, for those of you out there who havent yet been privileged enough to have to give yourself an injection, then let me introduce you to the wonders…. I was, and for now, will always be to my husbands human pin cushion…
Now i had introduced you to the wonders of FSH and Orgalutran in my last cycle, but as you saw i wasnt very good at giving myself the orgalutran injection (thats the needle that stops you from ovulating)… The needle is quite large and quite blunt.
Anyway, so this time when my fav nurse gave me the needles, i had a little giggle, and told my story bout not being so good at the jabbing… And guess what? There is a technique! That’s right folks, from now on i am doin the grab stab n jab…
Apparently there is no delicate manner to do this, and simply stabbing yourself like its a dart is the way to go…
SO SHE SAID!
Now i am not saying that this technique doesnt work, and i am not saying that i have perfected the technique just yet, HOW-EV-ER… My first attempt… EPIC FAIL!
Number 1: i grabbed (and let me tell you at the mo, there is aLOT of fat there to grab – so you’d thunk that it wouldnd hurt right? WRONG!)
Number 2: deep breath in, deep breath out… Husband “What are you doing?” Me “grab and stab”… husband “thats not going to work”… me “eh” deep breath in deep breath out… giggle at myself….
Number 3: Stab… ekkkkk ready, aim, fire! OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!
IT BOUNCED AND THEN WENT IT….
Number 4: Jab… actually get the hormone into you… it is at this point i wish i had longer fingers… they dont really make it easy for us short stumpers to reach the pushery inery bit…
Number 5: Husband “told you so… you should practice on an orange”… yer right moron (sarcasm inserted here) the needles cost $88 each, you think im going to practice?
So tonight, tonight folks will be my second attempt at the grab, stab n jab…
At least i have a week to perfect the technique… after which i wont need it anymore 
*sigh* i love IVF – i really really do…
