Waitiing is a Pain in my Ass... Literally

No news today really.  Nothing new has occurred we are just waiting.  Waiting to hear about our two remaining embryos and waiting to do my blood test. I can also feel myself waiting to feel different, but I feel absolutely the same. I know it's still too early to experience any symptoms and any and potentially all that even occur I could credit to my PIO shot.  PIO is short for progesterone in oil and is now a nightly ritual for Austin and I. 

I began these shots the day after my retrieval.  These are  monster shots with the big scary needles. I was beyond freaked out and had myself majorly worked up over these, but like the trigger shot they have been really easy.  I am  tolerating them really well.  Austin remains an awesome shot giver. I haven't had any of the major issues they talk about online, (Yet another reason to not google ladies)  the most concerning being Lumpy Butt. I mean talk about adding insult to injury.  You endure these daily pokes and get a lumpy ass to go along with it?  No knots in my behind... so far.  We also haven't had a "bad" shot yet. Knock on wood that hurt for days or made me walk funny. (Although that trigger shot sure did) We have definitely had a few bleeders and learned pretty quickly to have a gauze pad ready to go and to immediately apply pressure.  We pretty much have this thing down pat!

Austin thinks its' funny that I forget which cheek we are injecting some nights.  All I can think of is one of my work out songs. " left cheek, right cheek, left cheek, right cheek.  Let me see your booty work!" Hahahaha... This booty is working for this baby for sure!

The waiting alone can be difficult, the waiting while getting shots is just plain unfortunate :( I am doing my best to keep busy and to not worry.  Surprisingly enough I still feel that I am more emotionally stable/balanced during this IVF cycle than any of my IUIs.    I think I am getting better at this giving it to God stuff :)
