My husband is giving me the shots and he's doing great. This is a teeny tiny needle and I can barely feel it going in. However I am just incapable of doing it myself. I don't fear the pain of the needle it just makes my stomach turn to watch it go in. This is true not only for myself but for other people as well. But as long as I don't look I'm good to go.

I'm trying not to be offended :)

Today is also day 2 of no caffeine or alcohol. My nurse told me that I didn't need to restrict either of these until we started the stim drugs. However since this is the time we are resetting my body and putting it into a resting state I decided that it would be a good idea to also try and limit the bad things I'm putting into it. So I've subbed out my morning coffee for green tea and I'm working hard to drink more water and eat healthy at each meal. I also have my first acupuncture appointment next week.

I just don't want to look back and if this doesn't work think "I shouldn't have done that" or "I wish I would have done this".
I hope everyone is having a great week. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who is struggling through infertility during this holiday season. I hope that we all can find some peace and hope.
