This mornings injection did not go well. I've been doing my own injections for the last 4 days b/c when my hubby was giving me the injection it started to burn. I'm not sure if it was because he pushed the needle in to far, or what...my Doc said that the burning sensation was normal, but it doesn't burn as bad when I do it, so I took over being my own brave doctor. Everything has been going fine at the injection site, except for today. When I pulled the needle out a droplet of medication leaked out, I wiped that up and a second drop came out. After wiping that drop up, the grand finale was a drop of blood. I've put a call into my Doc but they don't open up until after I'll be at work. So that means I'll be packing up my medication, needle, and cleaning alcohol and heading to work. Could I be so lucky to have to do second injection this morning, at my office? I've done injections in as few strange places including a hotel bathroom floor and a tent, but this will top my list. I guess when IVF calls, it doesn't wait for anything.
*sigh* I would really just like to crawl into bed and sleep the day away, my throat is starting to feel a little scratchy, that could be because we've been sleeping with an extra fan at night, the house is 71 degrees but I'm hot? I usually get hot easy, but I beginning to think the medicine is giving me hot flashes too!
Hmm, after a morning like this, I think I deserve Starbucks...before I can't have caffeine too!
UPDATE: Spoke to my doc...I hit a capillary blood vessel, it can happen. But no worries, I'll just bruise. Yay! I don't need to do another injection, and I got Starbucks :0)
