Mel, I hope that embie turns out to be super-sticky and just happens to be the one that's needed to make it all the way.

Well, I survived my first lucrin injection! It was scary, and my hands were shaking the whole time. DH had to take over on getting the lucrin into the syringe and getting rid of air bubbles - we had one stubborn little bugger that didn't want to go! I was really quite astounded by how fine those needles are! I've always been told that the finer the needle the less it hurts, but I don't think I'd ever seen one as fine as this. Probably doesn't help that the only needles I see regularly are for blood tests (and haven't we all seen enough of them!). Mel, your instructions on injection technique from a while ago were very, very useful! It really helped to know the finer details behind how to do it - needle in quick, drug in slow... So after all my fumbles on getting the syringe ready, I did the actual injection myself. I was really quite surprised by how hard it is to push the plunger to inject the drug - the first 5 units were really hard to push in, but after that it seemed to go much easier - I hope the sudden lack of resistance wasn't a sign that things went wrong! A few hours on and my belly isn't sore, no enormous red mark like I had from the trigger shot, and no real side effects that can't be explained away by saying it's late and I'm tired.

I tried to get back earlier and post about it all, but my internet connection very unhelpfully decided to drop out on me!
