This is soon my reality

So I have been thinking a lot about the next step in our journey. And this is what it looks like.

Alcohol wipes, needles, injection pen and a sharps container. I wouldn't say I am afraid of needles. I have four tattoos after all. I just can't imagine giving myself shots or David for that matter! But I better just get over that because reality is David will be giving me shots and if he is unavailable I will have to do it myself. We opted for the pen type rather then the one that goes in the buttock (like how I'm being proper. Lol) so I could do it myself but hope I won't. I would probably need a stiff drink before that and they prefer you drink in moderation while doing fertility treatments! :) Anyone that knows me knows that won't be a problem because I don't have a taste for alcohol. Another benefit with the pen is no mixing. With the inter-muscular injections (in the butt) we would mix powder with saline solution then suck it up into the syringe and then change the needle because you don't use the same one to inject. With the pen that little creamer looking container in the picture has the needle. You screw it on to the end of the pen which will have the medicine in it. You dial the pen in at the end for how many units you are to use and then inject. Pretty dummy proof! Then unscrew the needle part and put it in the sharps container and put the pen in the fridge. That is it! We can do this! Now praying my cycle will start on a "normal" time so we can get started.
