Just gave self the first Progesterone In Oil shot. This intramuscular shot is done nightly for two weeks after egg retrieval. This is normally called the 2 week wait (2ww) because I will take a pregnancy test at the end of the 2ww. If I am pregnant I will continue the shots throughout the first trimester.
I feel proud of myself for finally doing the pio shot. I've been dreading it since an ivf friend warned me about the very fat, long needle 2 years ago. It was uncomfortable and physically difficult to twist around and hit the target which is, after all, behind me. I'm currently sitting on a heating pad to fend off the bruises and large welts often associated with these injections. I'm also smiling because I've cleared a hurdle that has frightened me for years.
