Either I'm A Wuss Or These Shots Hurt!

I'm not sure which it is. I don't have a high thresh-hold for pain. However, my backside still hurts today, so I'm not sure which way it is! The actual poking of the needle last night went great. It's the medicine going in that hurts. It's medicine based in sesame oil, so it's REALLY thick! Dan heats it in his hands for 5 minutes before drawing it up hoping to make it warmer and a little more fluid. I use the heating pad before and after to loosen up the muscle and let the medicine try and work through a little better. Overall injection...not bad. Feeling today...it hurts! :) I just tell myself, hopefully I GET to continue these shots (only continue if I am pregnant) for 8 more weeks! :)

BTW---Pictures coming. A note for the readers. If you leave your camera outside overnight and it happens to have a random downpour in the middle of summer...your camera will no longer function. This sucks. I will have some friends take pictures tomorrow night, e-mail them to me and then post them.
