I mentioned the other night (Monday) that I gave Sarah an IM shot of hCG. Weirdly, after the shot she decided she was greatly disturbed by the fact that the shot --- wait for it --- didn't hurt enough. No, really; she was three-quarters convinced that the absence of pain from the shot meant I'd done it wrong. She wigged out all night, and didn't relax again until the positive pregnancy test on Tuesday morning.
So I mentioned this to the doctor on Wednesday, and he said "oh, we can fix that." And the fix is this: after the retrieval but before she got dressed, the nurses at the surgery center took a black magic marker and drew targets on Sarah's butt. The "targets" are circles and crosses: the crosses are supposed to roughly mark the track of a major nerve that runs through the area, while the circles are sort of drop-zones for the shots.
