Infertility

gave DH a shot in belly

Since I have to give myself the lupron shot this weekend my dear sweet husband let me practice on him last night. I gave him saline shots in the belly so I'd feel more comfortable doing mine alone for the first time.

Way to take one for the team!!

  • Wow, I'm impressed! Props to your DH. My H is such a baby, he would never agree to that!

  • ha, that's awesome!! I've "offered" to do this many times, but my husband has never agreed. He just says he believes me that the shots are no fun.

  • towards the end of my cycle for IVF#1 DH wanted to know what it was like since he watched me doing shots for so long so I gave him an empty lupron needle and he stuck it in his stomach and pulled it out.  I was pretty impressed.

    I let people practice IVs on me (sharing this so you know I'm not a baby) and I think finger sticks are THE most painful thing in the world.
