The Price For Pain and Suffering.

Even though IUI number 2 has completed, the injections continued in an attempt to "support" the assumed pregnancy. Of course, if it turns out that I am not pregnant, the last couple of shots would've been in vain. Still, the advice has been to "err" on the safe side (you know, just in case I'm pregnant) and allow myself to be jabbed anyway (sure! why not!).

Thankfully, the final booster shot was given last night, and by final, I mean final FOR THIS CYCLE. Not that I'm hoping for another but high expectation begets huge disappointment (should this cycle fail, that is).

Anyway, as a "reward" for my bravery (36 injections in total, mind you! If that's not brave, what is?), and to "compensate" for my pain and suffering, the giver of sperm - oops, am I allowed to use the word 'sperm' here? Oh wait, of course I am! This is NOT Joecities! To hell with euphemisms! - decided to bestow upon me the gift of a $100 Target Card. For real.

Yes, ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS.

Or if you like, $2.77 for every time one of those 36 injections went in.

"Nah, claimed all my frequent flyer points liao. Still had to top up $30 to make it $100 leh."

Wow.

Imagine the senseless shopping spree I'll be going on.

Go on.

Envy me (you know you want to).

;P
