Not sure if it’s because of the drugs, my period, or general stress, but I feel very worried and quite emotional after the second injection. And I’m starting to hate the fucking injection pen.
Yesterday’s no-liquid-panic continued today, when there didn’t appear to be any liquid in the pen. There was, however, a little drop on the needle, which my friend said is how it should be – you don’t see the liquid, and after you inject there may be more drops on the needle. So OK, after panicking for a while I still attempted to do it. Set the right number, watched the numbers go down and waited ten seconds. And there was the little drop, still there! Did I just inject myself some air?? I didn’t know if this was right, so just in case called the clinic (they give you an emergency after-hours number) and asked. It felt like kind of an emergency, right? I admit that I was probably more emotional about it then I would have normally been… But this is quite frustrating, and will continue for another week at least!
Anyway, the nurse that picked up said that if the numbers went down then it probably went in, otherwise it would have got stuck. I am dreading tomorrow’s injection now… And don’t even want to think about the one that they’ll add in the morning – the pen is supposed to be the easy one, and I’m really struggling with it! What if I’ve been injecting just air into my stomach this whole time? No, I must be positive, otherwise the eggs won’t grow. Must try to relax. Must stop going crazy.
In other news, I only had one cup of coffee today, and been feeling really really tired all day. I also drank a lot of water and tried to eat healthy food, but that didn’t really work… Will try harder tomorrow. Let’s just hope that the injection gets easier with time! Me and my eggs will try to relax now and go to sleep.
