just have to laugh about it

So last night was trigger!  I was nervous because it had to go into the muscle and the needle was long.  Eeek! It turns out I'm way more of a wuss in my head than in real life.  I kind of have to give myself some credit.  I'm thinking my pain tolerance is a little higher than I thought. ;)  So my alarm went off at 8:20 to prep the shot and then again at 8:30 to actually have the shot - please see photo, for I'm trying to photo document the whole process!

So, at 8:20 Josh prepped the syringe and I went to lie down on the couch with a bag of Brussels sprouts on the bulls eye.  I wish what happened next had been video documented because I feel like we could have made a pretty penny.  So there I am, lying on the couch with a pillow under my ass (because I needed to lie down and disengage my ass muscles) and Josh comes over with the syringe behind his ear - again, please see photo. When I saw him I started cracking up and had to take a pic

 

so he sits down and preps the bulls eye with alcohol and I'm like, "oh man this is gonna hurt!!" I had requested before that he not give me a countdown...just stick me (that's what she said) so I knew a countdown wasn't coming.  Then I felt the stick and I yell "Is it in the muscle?!  Make sure it's in the muscle!!" And Josh is all, "Would you calm down, I know what I'm doing." Then it was over.  Just like that.  No pain, no dramatics (aside from my yelling...thank God he loves me...) and now I have nothing to do except grow my eggies!

 

The injection site is pretty sore today, which I'm thankful for because I know for sure it was in the muscle ;)

 

Now we wait.  I'm just anticipating the ovulation pains to hit me at any moment.  Maybe the won't because maybe my pains come when the egg is actually released from the follicle.  That would rule!  I still can't wear regular pants...today's attire is brought to you by elastic waisted, linen pants and a loose top. 

 

Lastly, last night I was going to get up and clean my house (oh, because it's being put on the market tomorrow...we like to do as many things as once as possible ;)) and Josh goes, "No, how about you lay down and do nothing except grow eggs."  Welp, don't have to tell me more than once.

 

Tomorrow's the big day!  Tonight I will visualize 8 big strong eggs ready for fertilization!
