As we were driving around last night running errands (ahhh the joys of moving...one gets to buy such exciting things...like toilet brushes for example) a thought occurred to me....uh...duh....wasn't I supposed to start shooting needles into me that evening? With that possibility in mind (since neither of us were entirely sure) we decided to forgo stopping off for a drink (tea for me of course) and head home to wade through pages of instructions in Flemish. Which neither of us speak/read btw. Luckily there were pictures. And luckily my man has some paramedic training and is fairly comfortable with a needle. Because tbh my contribution to the whole process was the following.
Me: SQUEAL OMIGOD are you going to stick that huge thing into me (needle folks, needle...!)??!!!!!!!!!!!
Him: No, relax, that's just to transfer stuff from this ampule to the other one and mix it.
Me: OMIGOD I can't look.
Him: Just be quiet and stop wriggling or it will hurt more.
Yup. I must say if I had to do this on my own it would not be happening. Or I would hire a nurse to come by every evening.
Anyways the needle went in fine, and this morning I had no noticeable side effects (not even a bruise), other than a wee bit of a headache, which went away quite quickly and could have been completely unrelated. I did however get a nasty itchy rash from....drum roll please....the disinfecting alcohol swab. Go figure. Won't be using quite so much of that the next time (think I might have overdone it a wee bit).
Tonight we do it all over again, and I think tomorrow night we add a 2nd needle to the mix. Ahhh, the joys. But at least the second one is pre-loaded. However I am STILL not giving it to myself. That's his job. Actually I think he takes secret sadistic pleasure in doing it. He who holds the needle wields the power it would appear!
The fun continues. If it results in a child all I can say is that it had bloody well better appreciate what I had to go through for it!!!! :-) Although of course I know it won't give a dang...but still....!
