The Injections

Well, the time has come. I started the stimulation injections to stimulate my ovaries before the upcoming egg harvesting. "Egg harvesting." It sounds so Handmaid's Tale.

I made a video of the ordeal, condensing 45 minutes of confusion into 5 minutes. The instructions I was provided were terrible. They were almost written for someone who had already done this before. Wtf?

I was also already a little frustrated going into it because I got home late, around 10:30, after 10 hours of networking events, which is exhausting enough (the life of an introverted saleswoman). And since you have to do the injections around the same time every night, I've now committed to doing them late every night, between 9:15 - 11:15. I naturally wake up around 5 every morning, so would have preferred doing them around 7. But again, as my mom reminded me recently, "kids are anything but convenient!" So, good practice for having my plans thrown out the window.

Watch the video below! I'll be doing this every night for about two weeks.
