Day 21 – Progesterone Shot
Wednesday, June 6, 2012
We did the progesterone shot this morning instead of in the evening and it worked out fantastic. I warmed the syringe under hot water to thin the oil and that worked better than the wash cloth method.
It was so nice to come home from work and not have to prep the shots after a long day. Also waiting for Pete to come home from work is no longer a factor. He does have to get up 30 minutes earlier every day, but he will survive. I am the one getting an IM shot every day.
The one side effect I am having is weight gain and cramping. The nurse said all of those symptoms are normal. Lisa went with me at lunch to Old Navy and I bought a couple of things on clearance so I would have some pants to wear. I think I have gained about 5 or 6 pounds so far. All of this is worth it if I get a big fat positive (BFP).
