I’ve had the most awful day. It started at 6am, when I got up to try and do the morning injection. For some reason I stuck the needle in too hard and then could not get it out. I tried for ages, and finally after really pricking my finger (which really hurts, by the way) decided to call the emergency number (yet again) and ask for help. The nurse who answered did her best to help me, but really nothing would make that bloody needle budge. So she said I should take another syringe, empty the liquid (so basically waste a syringe) and then try to use that one to fish out the liquid and swap needles again. This process also required a needle change, but for some reason I managed to do it. She took my details and said they’d give me a new syringe when I go in for the scan tomorrow. OK, one injection down – two to go.
Then I went to do some work, and when I got back had to do the morning injection again (today the injections were fucked up, as I have already mentioned). I tried to do it super carefully and not put the needle on too tightly, but what do you know – it fucking happened again! It’s as if I’ve got some kind of super power when the needle goes in, and then I become the weakest person in the universe when I need to take it out. Also, having an injured finger did not help. Luckily, a friend of mine was here and along with her boyfriend came to the rescue. They pulled and pulled and pulled until finally they got it out. Hooray! So I managed to do the injection, 45 minutes later than I had intended to.
This is so bad…. I don’t know what to do if this happens all the time. I need to do a morning injection super early every morning, and my friends are not usually here…. Doing all of these injections by myself and struggling with them every time is really quite a lonely experience. And it seems to emphasise the fact that I’m doing this because I’m alone (i.e. with no boyfriend), thus making me feel alone more than I usually do. Does this make sense? I don’t usually mind being alone until I need to do something and don’t know how and then I think, hmm, having a guy around (or just someone stronger) would be rather handy right now! So this has not been a nice experience at all. I wish there was someone who could come to my rescue at 6am… Oh well, I’ll just have to deal with it and get on with it. My eggs need me to be strong!
So later on, the evening injection went quite smoothly and I was happy with it. Now I just hope that they’ll get the little buggers out as soon as possible. I want to stop this injection marathon and get on with my life. I want to know when they are planning to do it, so that I can finalise my work schedule for next week.
The only positive thing is that I seem to be OK with the lack of coffee now – haven’t had any (well, one cup a day, which is nothing for me) and I feel fine now.
OK, good night from me and my eggs. keep your fingers crossed that I can do the fucking injection tomorrow at 6am!
Here is a video of the morning injection this morning – be warned, it is quite long!
Here is a video of the next morning injection, which I did in the afternoon (again, it’s long due to my struggles!):
Here is a video of the evening injection. Enjoy!
