Shots Schmots

2 shots down and oh, 50 to go?

I did the first shot myself and then my hubby, T wanted to practice so he did the one yesterday. Somehow he is equating the shots to playing darts - he had a very sporty stance when he stuck it in. Bullseye!

He's still very anxious about the IM shots so I'm hoping the more he practices, the better he'll be. No problems so far except I feel a little more tired than usual - like having to take a nap 3 hours after I wake up. T & I also started Doxycycline on Friday - great timing. It's Memorial Day weekend, beautiful weather and I'm on an antibiotic that says I can't be in the sun! Isn't it bad enough that I can't enjoy a beer?! :) I'm not really sure of the reason for the antibiotic except they are trying to get rid of any lurking bacteria and infection. I just picture these little men dressed like the Hamburglar running and hiding behind different organs, trying to remain undetected. Robble Robble.

We went to my brother-in-law's house yesterday for a cookout and their next door neighbors came over. They always give me hope. A & S had twin boys via IVF about 3 years ago and she's now pregnant again after another IVF cycle - another boy. They didn't use the same RE as me but a success story is a success story! I was asking if she had any side effects from any of the shots and she said that none of them were really a big deal. She also seems like the type of person that could have her hand cut off and not think a thing of it. She's just one of those "tough" people. I tend to think of myself as one of those people too so I'll just suck it up.
