I kept the first few printouts but after a <A HREF="http://www.ivftruth.com" REL="nofollow">few In Vitro fertilization cycles</A> i stopped keeping them. Finally we go pregnant. The waiting game on that 7th night after the implantation is the killer.

But when I attempted to do the dart thing, Christine jumped through the roof!<BR/><BR/>Instead, I've been doing it slow and steady ever since and she's LOVED it. No bruising and only a speck of blood once or twice so far. Christine said I'm getting TOO good at it now. :)<BR/><BR/>THANK YOU again for your help!Jimmy Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08590225257991702645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-28568679586465393902007-12-11T12:13:00.000-05:002007-12-11T12:13:00.000-05:00Good luck!! I hope all goes as planned!! You will ...Good luck!! I hope all goes as planned!! You will both be in my thoughts and prayers!! <BR/><BR/>Now about that shot.....here's what you do. Carefully grasp arm (or other body part) there you will give injection. Spread the skin or bunch it according to instructions (usually spread for into the muscle, bunch for into the fat, but not always! go by your instructions). With the needle in your dominant hand, aim where you want it to go....hold the needle like you would a dart. Starting with the needle an inch or so from the skin, quickly jab at the arm to get the needle in. DO NOT slowly push in!! You want a quick jab as it hurts less! Once the needle is in you can move your had to depress the plunger, it won't go anywhere and isn't likely to hurt if it moves a little. (Be sure to pull back on plunger before injecting to check for blood) If you can, practice with an orange until you feel more confident. <BR/><BR/>People often think they'll hurt less if the needle is slowly put in, but it's actually the opposite that's true. In my 30+ yrs as a nurse, I've frequently been complimented on the little pain I cause with injections.Alcinda (Cindy) Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950698583878546323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-75748856035388452112007-12-09T01:38:00.000-05:002007-12-09T01:38:00.000-05:00The Courage to share with us makes me speechless, ...The Courage to share with us makes me speechless, you truly are a work of God you and Christine deserve to be parents the love that child will have on this earth will be a blessing.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04880106819332436097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-51691983196798933332007-12-08T19:15:00.000-05:002007-12-08T19:15:00.000-05:00I'm praying for you both... thank you for sharing ...I'm praying for you both... thank you for sharing this precious process with us... blessings to you both....Froileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994601049929694570noreply@blogger.com
