Shaky Isn't Just a Name for a Band

First shot done.

Ba-ba-boom.

The egg share councellor had shown us how to do it on Tuesday. First I get the syringe ready and withdraw 0.50 from the bottle of Buserelin. Then I grab a bit of fat on my stomach (not hard) and inject. The needle is so tiny that I almost didn't feel it, and all I have to show for the shot is a bit of a red rash at the injection mark and shaky hands.

But the hands shake because of the enormity of it all beginning, I think.

Moving house today and getting doggy today.

That, and my RE? She said I can continue to drink while on suppressors.

Don't mind if I do...

You whore. I won't let you drink. We need to be miserable together.

The first shot has to be the worst, I can't blame you for the shakey hands.
Best of luck today - what a big day. We need a puppy update, I want to know what kind you are getting too (other than cute).
I like your RE, you'll need a drink by the end of the day.
