The needle, it is very small.
The kit. This is the pen that I attach the needles to.
My tummy. If you look very close (you may have to click it to enlarge it),you can see the bruise and poke mark from yesterday on the left of my belly button just below it.
I gave myself my first shot tonight!! Oh my goodness! Everyone took off on me, Charity went to Chicago to celebrate her boyfriend's birthday, Rich went back to work and my mom is out of town! The shot doesn't hurt at all, it's just a mental thing that you have to get past. There just seems to be something wrong with stabbing a needle in your own skin! I know I sat there a full five minutes trying to get the nerve up. I called my friend Dixie who is a phlebotomist for a bit of last minute advice. "Do I go slow or just jab it in?" "Just jab it in!" "Jab it in quick?" "Yes! You'll be fine!" So I jabbed, it didn't hurt a bit, just a little burning when the med goes in. I had quite the audience! The kids are so impressed! I am worried that they are going to go to school and tell their teacher that mom uses a needle to giver herself drugs! Another $75 bucks in!

Oh my goodness, Kari! Good for you for doing it yourself! I am proud of you. I am cringing and ooooh and owww-ing over here on the other side of town. Really praying for a baby so you don't have to do this after this month.
