Just call me nurse Jen…

The Wife went in for an ultrasound this morning.  Her left ovary has sprouted two follicles – one 20mm, and the other 14mm.  (Yes, I am secretly hoping for twins – so go follicles, go!) Tonight I have to give her a shot of Ovidrel so that her body will release the eggs… the instructions are to inject her in the abdomen using a “dart-like” motion.  I am only a little terrified.  Monday we go in to Boston IVF for insemination #2.  Yay!!!

9pm – I thought it would be harder, but giving the shot was pretty easy.  My biggest fear was somehow accidently killing the Wife by not getting all the air bubbles out of the syringe.  After a few minutes, with the Wife still alive, I declared great success!
