The Injections

At this point my butt is basically a pin cushion. Twice a week Kevin stabs a needle into my behind and then injects a crazy thick serum for what feels like hours but in reality is about 2-3 minutes. The serum is oil based so it is very thick and has to be injected very slowly or it causes a massive welt that takes forever to heal. It doesn't matter how slowly we inject I still get a welt that is sore for a few days. At 20 weeks we are switching care from our current doctor to a midwife and will have to wean off the injections and if my hormones are still too low the midwife can prescribe it orally or in a suppository form. As happy as I am to no longer be stabbed twice a week I think I would prefer the injections over suppositories.
