Needle phobia cured

I went in Wednesday for my ultrasound and saw a nice big single follicle. Upon analysis of the blood draw, the RE decided I should do the trigger shot (Ovidrel) Thursday night for Saturday morning insemination. The problem is that I would be 4 hours from my shot-giver, my dad. Well, the RE directed me to give the shot to myself, that it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. We practiced the hand motions in the office, and I resolved I could do it.

I did it. I iced it up first, played the video to remind myself of the steps, and succeeded. I go in tomorrow morning for the insemination ... phew!
