My very first trigger shot arrived today.
It was in a ridiculously oversized box:
Which only held these three things:
That needle looks awfully big.
DH asked who is giving me that shot.
I looked at him longingly. He turned away. I then told him either my mom (a nurse) or Dr. Terrific would do it. It's not that I don't trust DH to do it, but I just don't want to put him in that position. Not to mention that I don't think he wants to inject me in the first place!
Nor do I want my ass to hurt any more than it has to hurt. (It does go into my butt doesn't it?)
So . . . it's here. Now what?

I have to tell you my husband thought it was fun to inject me in the butt. I guess he gets perverse pleasure from my pain lol. But really he didnt do too bad. It's good you have someone else who can help you
Ha! I can only imagine Todd's face. I'd stick with your mom or Dr. T! Btw...I'm pretty sure it gets injected into your belly. I think that's where?!?
Have a drink?
I mean that's my answer to most things lately, anyway.
The needle that you think is huge might be the needle you use to combine the ingredients. The actual needle you use to inject it is very small. It stings for a second but is pretty easy. If you do it at home, just make sure the alcohol is completely dry before you get the shot. I injected mine into some tummy chub, about an inch away from my belly button. I haven't heard of it in the butt.
Good luck!!!
Good luck!!! All of my injections were in the belly and DH did them.
All mine were in the belly, but they said I could use the thigh - the thought of the belly gave me chills. The only shot I am doing in the butte is the progesterone - the nurse told my husband to hold at 90 degree angle and shoot like at a dart board. - the only shot that has hurt is the progesterone.
oooh, yeah, have your mom do it. It doesn't hurt. That bad. :) And yes, mine went in my butt so I imagine yours will too (that way you don't see that ridiculously long needle going into you).
good luck w/ it!
You're getting mixed comments here and I think the ladies who did it in the belly may have had the small needle of Ovidrel. Novarel usually goes in your tush with the big needle. I had a countless number of those big needles go into my rear (at the hands of Ed), and it was worth every pinch of pain. I'm sure your Mom will do it perfectly for if Dr. T. doesn't do it.
I think you and my best friend Cookie are on the same meds at the same time. Fingers crossed all around.
