I've done some crazy stuff in my life, some of it has been fairly dangerous. I just had to give my wife a progesterone injection and I've never been that scared. I hope this all works.

Sending positive vibes, you've got this! The two things that got me through the progesterone: 1) Put the syringe in my bra for 5 minutes before my husband injected it. 2) Don't hesitate, put that needle in like a dart, hurts way less :)

Soon you’ll be an expert at these! My husband is now world-class injection provider. It can definitely be nerve-racking, but you’ve got this! Good luck!!
