I'm triggered! my friend is the best

in Infertility

So, I mentioned earlier that my friend's DH (also my friend) was going to give me my trigger shot tonight (they did 10 IVFs total, so he has had lots of practice).

He INSISTED on coming here, even though it is a 50 minute drive each way.  I insisted that I drive there, but he wouldn't hear of it.  He said "this is about you, you should be comfortable and relaxed, stress is not good for a cycle."

He mixed the HCG for me and did the shot exactly at 10:30.  It didn't hurt a bit.

I was so touched.  Not only did he make the journey, but he did it cheerfully and with such kindness.

I feel so lucky to have friends like them.
