What to Expect When She's Not Expecting

Dave is completely frustrating me.  He really does not get it.  We must argue on a daily basis about baby stuff.  While I am shooting myself up with insane hormones and going to embarassing and degrading gyno appointments, he sits back and tells me that it's not normal for me to "act all crazy" when someone close to us has a baby.  Yesterday's was a whopper.  I told him how afraid I am to do the hip injections of Progesterone in Oil. (In my defense, these really are horrible shots and they may have to happen daily for 12 weeks) Since Dave is not always here, I either have to do them myself or find someone to do them for me.  They have to be done at the same time each morning.  Since it's a 2 inch needle and I'm horrified at giving myself shots, I am not going to be doing these shots myself.  It's all I can do to get through the 20 days of little Lupron shots in my stomach.  He is pissed at me.  He can't understand why this is such a big deal.  If he is paying all this money, the least I can do is take care of my own shots.  It's all I can do not to strangle him.  He upsets me so much.  All he had to say was, "I would be afraid of those too.  We'll figure something out together."  Nope, he tells me I'm crazy and selfish and a chicken.  That just earned him a book that I ordered off of Amazon last night:  "What to Expect When She's not Expecting".  Hopefully it will tell him how to understand me, sympathize with me, and handle me.  It better get here soon, his life may depend on it.  PS - Just for the record, I asked him to use one of my little Lupron needles and just stick it in his stomach.  Nope, he won't do that.  I'm sure it scares him.
