How Do I Hide the Injections on Vacation?
January 11, 2012 in egg donor blog by Kate
I’m currently in the middle of my first cycle and started injectable medication a few days ago. I have an overnight trip with a couple girlfriends this coming weekend which was planned way before my cycle. I haven’t told these friends that I’m donating and am hoping to be able to discretely do my injections so they don’t notice. Is that a crazy idea in your opinion? Do you have any advice or recommendations for stealth injecting?
Not a silly question at all, and I’ve definitely had to do it. Before you go, put everything you need for a single injection into a single plastic baggy (one needle cap/syringe, 2 alcohol pads and whatever else the routine of your injection entails; 3 baggies for 3 days of injections, for example) and then sneak yourself into the bathroom and inject with all your tools you have pre-packaged. Your meds will most likely need to go into a fridge, but most meds do, so it’s not weird; you could be on an antibiotic for anyone knows, you know? Just dip into the bathroom or bedroom or whatever. If you don’t mention it, or make a big deal out of it, chances are that no one else will, either. Just plan ahead. Make sure you’re prepared before you leave your house for all the times you’ll need to duck out so that when you do, it’s fast. Have fun, and good luck!
