This morning Hilari and I went to the fertility clinic. The nurse taught me how to give myself hormone shots and handed me a box of full of meds shipped directly from the pharmacy (pic on the right). A bonus about filming this documentary - if I can't remember the instructions given, I can always go back and watch the tapes.
We made our way back to the nurse's office and she closed the door. I was relieved to see just the three of us together in that tiny room. I've heard horror stories of single women finding themselves in a classroom full of couples (participating in IVF), feeling alienated for attending the instruction without a "partner". I was happy to realize this wasn't the case for me today.
When I got back to my loft, I removed the contents of the box from the pharmacy: syringes, sharps container, alcohol swabs, fertility drugs and an Injection Guide with photos for reference.
One more appointment to check my hormone levels and follicle count before I start the shots!
