11:05pm:
"Can I help?"
"Yea, I'd LIKE it if you did. Maybe even take pictures of me doing it?"
"Cool, but only if I get to eat Rolos on completion too."
------------------------------
11:10pm:
"Fuck! I can't believe they just send us HOME to do this all alone? There's a LOT of shit here? Do I put THIS thing on first? Does THAT pop the holes in the bottles? Cuz the actual needle, I don't get how that'd work? What the HELL????"
"Just let me do it, I know what I'm doing."
"How the hell would YOU know and I wouldn't? I'M the one that took the notes during the f*g orientation, I'M the one who did the practice shot, and I'M the one who watched the f*g video. Have you even WATCHED the f*g video?"
"Do you WANT me to watch the f*g video? Cuz I can go WATCH the f*g video if you want, but seriously... trust me, I know what I'm doing."
"No, you DON'T know what you're doing! You can't do that like THAT or we have to change syringes! Don't look at me like that, I'm not kidding! You can't do it like THAT!"
"Fine, I'll go watch the f*g video."
"Good! Go!"
------------------------------
11:15pm:
Bawling... "Will you please come back? I can't do this."
Grabbing my hand... "Waddaya need me to do?"
Bawling even more... "I don't know, ALL of it? Everything? Something? I just can't understand how they think we can do this? A half hour session two FUCKING weeks ago, no written instructions, a video that shows some bitch doing DIFFERENT drugs than mine, and we're supposed to just KNOW how to do this? What if we f* it up? What if my stupid scribbled notes aren't right?"
Squeezing my hand... "We won't f* it up, we can do this. Whatever you need me to do, I'll do it."
"I don't know, just watch and tell me if it looks like I'm doing things right? If I missed some drugs? If something's not tight enough?"
"Whatever you want:-)"
------------------------------
11:20pm:
"Fuck, I can't believe we're REALLY doing this."
"You sure you want to do it? I can do it for you?"
"No, I can do it. Lots of deep breaths and a chunk of fat squeezed up all nicely in my fingers, and we'll be on our way."
"You're super brave my beautiful wife. Don't think for a SECOND that I don't think what you're doing here ISN'T hard. I can't imagine how hard it is."
------------------------------
11:21pm:
"Chicklet, you gotta put it all the way in."
"I AM f*g putting it all the way in! Gimme a second wouldja? Are YOU jabbing a needle in YOUR belly?"
"You're doing a great job:-)"
"Just get my f*g Rolos ready."
------------------------------
11:21pm:
"Wow, I can't believe we just did that. You're so brave, seriously."
Bawling again...
"You okay? Did it hurt? Can I do something?"
"It was actually fine? I just HATE that we're doing this. I really really HATE it."
"You did an awesome job, really."
"Then stop eating my f*g Rolos!"

Hilarious!!
You deserve a CASE of Rolos for that! You are so brave!
My first injection went similar to that! And I cried for no real reason afterwards. Glad your hubby was so supportive
It's a whole weird other ballgame when shots are introduced! Iam proud of the both of you ... eat all the rolo's you want
Good job on the shot! My hubby started promising all sort of treats if I would just do it. The first one is the hardest one.
Good luck!
Ahhh. I can so appreciate every aspect of this dialogue. Pretty remarkable what's required isn't it? You are brave! Raising my Dove milk chocolate squares to you...
Hugs to you Sweetie. We had virtually the same conversation this week too.
Wish I'd thought of the Rolos though xx
As long as your putting the sharp end in YOU, you'll be fine,
xx

Well, you got through the first ones. I'm sure it was scary. I've only shot myself up with hcg trigs 3 times a cycle, so I don't know how overwhelming this must all be for you. And I'm sorry you ~are~ doing this. But it's started. You are doing this. And damn it, you've got a pretty damn good chance of it working too. ~yay~!!
Just a little follow up note to say "damn you chicklet!".
You titled your blog post "Shot in the dark" and now I'm singing some bad 80s hair band ... "Shot in the dark, and your to blame baby you give love a bad name" (okay, I know the lyrics are "shot through the heart.." but the end remains the same. I'm singing a bad song and I'm even singing it wrong. But yet, I continue to sing it.
omg. now that i think about it to come up with WHO sings it. I'm singing bon jovi. omg.
Too funny! You crack me up! And I love Rolos. I haven't had them in ages. YUM!
WOOHOO for the first inject! I'm glad that mess is over. I hope it gets a bit easier with each one.
And YAY for Rolos! XOXO
Aw, honey, IF is so hard! Eat those Rolos and ENJOY them!
Congratulations, you did it!!!
I remember reading through all the overwhelming paperwork with injection instructions and getting really freaked out when it said at the bottom of the instructions "Congratulations, you did it!" I mean, if a piece of paper felt the need to congratulate me, this was going to be really bad, right?
But seriously, you got through the first one, the hardest one by far because now you know what to expect.
I love reading the conversations you have with your husband.
You are so brave, I'm not sure that I could do it and keep a sense of humour.
you guys are AMAZING!!!
I'm sorry you have to do it, too, but congrats on getting thru the first one. That has to be the hardest, right?
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Rolos!
I'm a little teary-eyed right now. Sorry that sucked so bad. Hope the Rolos helped.
Oh my goodness...arent shots lovely--esp sharing the moments like that with your hubby;)
It gets easier after the first one!
Did you record the conversations between me and my husband the first time we had to do a trigger shot???
Seriously, why do nursing students get graded on something we are expected to be able to do with no training???
Laughed and cried when I read this! Similar events in my house on Saturday night...
Hope it get's easier with every one!!
You're the BEST!! What drugs are you doing again? I have some good online video links.
Congratulations on starting your shots! They really do get easier after you get a few under your belt, but I am sorry that you had to deal with stress of the first one.
Rolos??? What a great idea! Those things are like crack!!!
