Egg Freezing Fertility Shots Video
The next step in how the process of egg freezing works โ this is all about the shots. I mentioned in my last video that I thought the shots I was going to have to give myself where going to be super easy โ like an epi-pen. I thought theyโd be automatic and Iโd just click it into my stomach super quick and easy and be on my lil way.
Yeahโฆ no.
It was a lot more complicated than that.
But it was do-able.
Egg Freezing โ How the Injections Are Goingโฆ

I think the fact that I assumed it would be so easy but then realizing it was a real injection made it more difficult. My expectations were incorrect and that led me into this process a little more overwhelmed than if I knew from the start it would be a real shot with real measurements and real needles.
Note: No one straight up told me it was going to be an epipen style injection. I saw that some of the shots are available in a pre-measured and ready to go injection like an epi-pen in my research. And I always assume medicine and technology are moving fast and updating faster so if I see something online โ tech or in this case medicine is already a step ahead. I donโt know why I think thatโฆ maybe wishful thinking? Well, at least I have an optimistic mindset โ right?!
The point is โ I had to give myself REAL shots with REAL needles. And I had to mix some of the injections with liquid and/or mix them together to get the right dosage. So I was combining multiple liquids and vials of medication and carefully filling up the shots for the prescribed dose. Then, cleaning off my stomach with a little alcohol wipe and giving myself the injection.
Iโll go into more detail on the step by step process of the injections soon. But for now I wanted to share a short video of me actually doing one of the injections for anyone thatโs curious or wants a peek at what itโs like. I wish I would have had a video like this to watch before I started the injections and then I might have had more realistic expectations. Maybe.

I give myself injections as well, not for this but for B12 (I’m vegan and supplements don’t cut it for me). Yeah – it was pretty intimidating at first, but a nurse taught me/watched me do it the first time and then I was good to go. You do get used to it! And now I feel like a super-empowered person (which is surely an exaggeration, but whatevs…). ๐
