Icon7 Trigger tonight!!!

Hi Ladies!
I've just come from the RE's office and I'm set for my trigger shot tonight and ER on Wednesday! I'm filled with emotion of every kind - anxious/excited/nervous/crying...can't wait for the day to come but so apprehensive as well. Is this normal? Mostly, DH and I are super excited...this is our first cycle and we are so hopeful for a BFP!!! And I can't wait to join the 2WWs!!!

ET is scheduled for Saturday if all goes well!!! Now, I have to get through tonight and my DH stabbing me in the butt with that needle...I think I might faint...right after he does! He's got no stomach for these things and he hasn't had a practice! HELP!

Hi - GOOD LUCK!

I had ALL of the same emotions you do....I think most of us do. Good luck! Please keep us posted.

As you are doing your ER - I'll be doing my first beta. This is my first time through all of this too.

Sabrina, I know how you feel- it is very scary and exciting at the same time! I didn't think DH or I could handle doing shots but you get used to it!! Good luck- I can't wait to hear how many you put back in!

At 8:45 last night, DH administered the shot like a pro! I did use an ice pack to numb the rather large upper, outside quandrant of my A$$ and quite honestly, I didn't feel a thing...until I rolled over last night! Ouch!

Thanks for your well wishes. I'll update after the ER.
