Day 3 of injections

I'm working again but this time drive myself as the roads were fine the day before. I take a syringe and the bottle of Buserelin with me in a small bag. I get to work at about 6.50am and make a beeline for the disabled toilet.

This is the first time I will be injecting myself. It doesn't phase me, I have no choice. I sit on the toilet and prick my leg with the needle. It hurts a little more than yesterday, I wonder if this is because I can see it. When I pull the needle out blood follows. This didn't happen yesterday or the day before! Mr IVF is clearly better at it than me.

I could just inject myself but if I did then Mr IVF would not have any participation in this whatsoever. All Mr IVF must do is accompany me to the hospital on the day of the egg collection so he can give a sperm sample and look after me. Given the problem is Mr IVF's dodgy sperm I feel this is all very unfair. So I insist he inject me so he can share my pain. I think he feels it, he really doesn't like doing it.
