The shot is Ovidrel.
Ah, the old belly shot. I found those to be pretty painless. It seemed crazy to do a shot in the belly, but I seriously barely felt it.
And I'm much less worried about the needle then TCG is.
THIS! DW was way more nervous about it than I was. She ended up being a pro by the time we were done.
They said belly or thigh. I'm really hoping TCG doesn't have time to become a pro. This procedure is only 1 shot a month.
Yep belly or thigh is what I recall as well. Here's to one shot success!!!!!
Trying to think of a golf hole-in-one joke that would be appropriate... not coming to me.
So, I'm observing an interesting phenomena in myself. How recieving 31 emails within 8 minutes is causing me to freak out a bit. Strange. And yes, by doing this, it is helping me calm down. You'd think I'd be used to tons of emails at this job. But 31 in less than 10 minutes?!? Oy. Yeah. Kinda crazy.

Once more unto the breech!! (what? I work in theater! Of course I'll use a Shakespeare quote)
I know different shots are different, but the diabetic friend I grew up with always preferred those days when her shot rotation got to her belly.
Oh, dear and fluffy lord, I regret what I have consumed this evening. Please make it stop.
Those over-the-counter decongestants? Far far worse than the behind-the-counter stuff. At least for me. I feel like my body is about to jitter itself apart, and yet my heart rate seems normal. My mouth is dry, there is a terrible taste/smell in my (clear) nostrils and throat, and I am nervous as hell. On the upside, I can breathe. I threw the whole box of the damn red pills away. I can't believe I used to take this stuff all the time when I lived with my sister. Maybe this partially explains why I was so miserable then. This feels a lot like an anxiety attack. Also, it's 3am and there's no way I'm getting to sleep for another couple hours. I'd call out sick to work, except I've got too much work to do.
It is 5am and I am still awake. Today is gonna SUCK.
Did you not get any sleep, Zen? I'm sorry; I know how miserable that is. Can you call in?
Just woke up, at 11:30. Yeah, work seems unlikely.
{{{Zen}}} Hope you're on the mend soon.
So, I realized that I never did Thank You notes after my interviews. First I panicked, then I realized that I was contacted by an internal company recruiter and don't have contact info for any of the people I interviewed with. I'm not even sure it'd be worth doing to send a single emailed Thank You to the recruiter to thank the 8 people I interviewed with. Am I wrong? Is it too late anyway (my interviews were Monday)? Ack!
ETA: I went ahead and did one nice email to the recruiter addressing her and the 2 million people who interviewed me. I figured I just needed to get something over there sooner rather than later. Here's hoping it was enough.
