the last couple of days have been really quite difficult but today we went along for our down regging appointment. i was really nervous and dreading the injections. the nurse showed us how to draw up the syringe using a green needle (argh - a big fat one, glad im not sticking that in me lol) and then to change it to a small yellow one. im on 0.5ml of Buserelin once daily into my tummy. She demonstrated using a pretend tummy and then i was allowed a go myself. i expected to sit there hovering over my tummy for half an hour until my mike had to finally do it, but i just pushed it straight in at the 45 degree angle shown 
afterwards, my skin started to get really itchy and had a red rash but she said that was normal and it would go down which it did quickly. mike said he was very very proud of me and gave me a big hug and kiss.
we then had a mock embryo transfer and this was fine - she got the catheter in very easily and it didn't hurt - just felt a little strange.
im feeling very proud of myself for doing my own injection, i thought i would be really squeamish but to do it myself i felt like i suddenly had some control over this whole damn treatment malarky.
after hospital my fabulous hubby took me to the pandora shop and bought me a charm - its a little elephant. its very very cute.
so second injection to be done tonight - just need to decide on a time and then to do one every night until the 4th Feb. Oooooo, im so excited. xxx
