From a nurse, not being critical but have your mom go over technique with you. A few steps were missed. But you still did a great job. Austin deserves a sucker and you too lol. You guys are amazing and I love your family and content.
Yes I am retired (43 years Hospital/Medical & I am shocked they were just sent home with a bag of Meds & Syringes & no hands on instructions... Yikes 👀 😬🙄😳😳
My hubby had to do my infertility shots. He would come home on his lunch break at the same time every day and give me a shot. The first one he cried. After that, he would say, "Let's get it over with." You did fine Jess. Austin... hands in the air!!!
My husband had low T and has been taking vitamin D, Magnesium and Zinc for over a year and his levels are back to normal....He wanted to avoid taking hormones...Good luck on your journey....
That’s wild that they didn’t teach you on the injections. When we did IVF, we had a detailed injection lesson online with an RN before we could start our cycle. I promise you, it becomes second nature after the first couple. For the intramuscular injections, my husband had to do those as they had to go in my hip/upper butt and I couldn’t reach there easily. All the belly injections I did myself. I had over a 100 injections to do at home for the IVF cycle. You’ll look back on this first injection thinking “why was I so worried about it” after a while. You’ve got this
Yes! I just went through IVF too and we got detailed instructions as well. I did all my shots myself in my butt bc I had to do them at work and had nobody to help.
@@jennburgess1987 luckily I work from home so I could just get my husband to do those. I could reach but it wasn’t the easiest for me so got him to do them. Couldn’t imagine having to do them while working outside of the home. Good on you
OMG I am with you Austin, I am scared of needles too. Jess, I definitely feel for you, I can't imagine having to give anyone else a needle. But geez Jess, when you were walking around still holding the needle I was sitting in my Condo and said "put the needle down Jess". When you continued to hold it I found myself shouting "PUT THE NEEDLE DOWN JESS"!!! You were both so brave. But my nerves are shot now. 😰🥰🤗
Paige's face on the ride with dad was funny. Proud of you Jess for give Austin his testosterone shot. I know nervous the first time but you will get use to it because I have to give my grandma her shot
Love all the facial expressions on Paige. Looks like a fun day at the amusement park! Gosh, the whole shot thing took me back to my infertility days. I had to take daily injections and I just couldn't do it. My husband had to do it for me and he really didn't want to. He did great! Now (19 years later) here I am giving myself shots to try to control my chronic migraines. You did great, Jess! You too, Austin! Love and hugs from Norway!
You guys had me laughing so hard with that whole shot process!! 🤣🤣🤣 Omg 😂 I went through nursing school and used to be an EMT…and I swear, there must be something wrong with people like us…always stabbing people with needles… 💉 Bahahaha!!!😂😂 That was rich!!
I recently did a course of needles and I'm totally needle phobic, hate them, have hated them since I was 7. Screamed and cried. It really wasn't too bad. You get used to it. Don't go super slow but don't jab it. Take a deep breath and let it out as you insert it and then do another one as you do the injecting and removal.
Great job Jess! I was 13 when I had to learn how to give myself a shot. I cried and cried because I was so scared. So, I understand both of your qualms. It will get easier. Hang in there. 😊
That was the most hilarious vlog, watching Paige's face on the rides and then Jess with the shot, I was laughing so hard. What a Crack up, thanks guys.
Jess… “stop being a baby”.😂 I have done monthly b12 injections in my thigh for a few years now. It took me a few time to get use to it and I am apprehensive b4 each one still but it is so worth it in the end. Hugs to you all!
Thank GOD B-12 is Not a THICK solution & absorbs for easily into a thigh muscle... Testosterone is very thick & should go into the buttocks (away from the sciatica nerve)👍😁👍🤗
When I lived in Idaho we would drive down to lagoon every summer after I graduated high school... Even got engaged during Halloween at lagoon!!! Sooo much fun!!! Glad y'all enjoy lagoon!!! 🥰❤ When we were kids we would go to disney world every weekend (grandpa mom and dad worked there when we were little so we got free tickets)
My son is 26 and is on T and has had 2 doses and I had no idea how many problems low T could cause. I’m interested to see and hear any changes in you and hear you experiences!! Good luck and keep us updated xo
Love your videos! You did great Jess! I give my son growth hormone shots every night and the first time was a bit scary but it's old hat now. P.S. I sent you guys a book for the kids- hope you got it!
I give my husband a shot every other week of testosterone. You two were identical to how we reacted. He laughed and I was crying afterwards. I didn’t want to give him a shot! Now it’s like nothing for me but still hard on him. We also use a smaller needle 25 g x 1in I give the shot in his upper arm in the muscle. Been about 20 years now doing that. You both did great husband and I watched together. Just like us!! Husband says you will feel better Austin! 😵💫🤗💙
I hate needles too but I’ve started giving myself monthly migraine preventative medication injections. What makes it easier for me though is that I don’t have to use that type of needle. Mine are preloaded and I can’t even see the needle going into the skin which is the part that freaks me out. I actually had to cover the screen on my phone as she did it because I can’t watch that at all without getting goosebumps all over. 😂
Totally sympathise with you on the shot, I recently had to inject myself every day for 40 days after PPH and it was so scary the first time! Well done Jess 👏😊
Oh bless you cos it’s not easy jabbing someone!! I had to do shots on myself after my last baby and they had to go in to my tummy fat and oh it was horrid, my husband did try doing one but he just couldn’t do it, he was terrified. So huge well done for managing to do it! And well done Austin for being a very brave boy!! Although I did laugh so much after you said. Don’t touch it, and typical guy, he touched it!! 😂
It was so funny when Austin said that he was going to pee his pants and Micah looked down at his pants. Lol . Fun day at the amusement park. Love watching the girls faces. You guys are so funny with the shot. Lol 😅
I remember when I started IVF last summer I was so scared to do the shots. It’s not bad. Now I’ve been doing progesterone shots in my back everyday so far for the last 9 weeks. When I hit 10 weeks I won’t have to do the shots anymore. I can’t wait. Just less than 3 weeks left. You can do it! I remember watching a lot of RUclips videos on how to do the shots
LOL I had four vials of blood drawn and a urine sample taken this morning, and it took less time than Austin's one injection 😂 AND it was on an empty stomach!
my favourite memory going camping with my parents looked like you guys had such fun I remember the first time I used my epi pen I collapsed on the bathroom floor😂another great video
You giving him the shot reminded me of when my dad was giving me the growth hormone shots.... I can still occasially feel the phantom pain from a few of them.
When our daughter was diagnosed with Type1 Diabetes, my husband & I had to be able to give injections to ourselves in the stomachs before we could take our daughter home & give her the insulin injections. It was really something because up to that point I had always had a major fear of needles, but when it is your kid you will do anything! Jess, it does get easier the more you do it but can’t believe no one gave you instructions on how to do it!❤
Go Jess 🎉🎉🎉 I had to help my husband with a ganglion cyst (aka Bible Bump)... and smacking his wrist with a leather bible was bad enough. I was shaking and couldn't handle the potential of pain to him. Like the thwack of the Bible worked, but I had to do it a few times bc I missed. 😬🥺🥺 I get the lightheaded feeling for sure! You ARE a Rockstar! Props to all the Nurses and Phlebotomists out there! And especially to those who have to self-inject! 🎉🎉🎉
you can slightly push on the plunger to expel any bubbles, just do it slowly so you don't squirt all of the medicine out i picked up some tricks when i was doing fertility shots along with the trigger shots as well. shots are always scary, and I'm the needle phobic so my husband was the one who did the actual medical part lol.
Let me tell you, the kids are going to remember riding those rides with y’all! As soon as Austin kind of started moving the car I just burst into tears! My dad just passed away unexpectedly in 2021 but when I saw that I was reminded of my 10th birthday when we were in Ohio (we’re from Texas) and we were visiting an aunt and uncle. They took us to an amusement park there called Cedar Point that has a double Ferris wheel. When we were on the very top I was eating my cotton candy thinking how cool it was when my dad started shaking the cart. All of sudden I didn’t think it was cool anymore!!! Now onto the injections. I have two older brothers that unfortunately have since passed away. My very oldest brother passed away from diabetic complications. He was 51 at the time and he was 18 months when he was diagnosed with type I diabetes. At the time they my mom he wouldn’t live to be over 10. When he was 10 he wanted to go on a Boy Scouts trip but my dad told him he had to be able to give himself his shots. I do realize the needles are much much smaller but I think when you’re 8 that doesn’t matter and he learned to give himself his shots and check his own blood sugar.
Good luck. I just did over 80 injections for IVF to be a surrogate for someone. If the thigh becomes painful, the hip area seems to be a lot less painful in my opinion, but I could not do it myself either and had my second grader help me before school. 😂
I had to give myself a shot for 2 weeks straight. I held my breath the first time and almost passed out 😅 remember to breathe in for a count of 4, hold for 2, or for 4. The best way to do it, I discovered!
Austin I have to give myself B12 shots once a month with an inch long needle. When I first started doing them myself, it was ever two weeks. I know how you and Jess feel. I'm also terrified of needles.
We have season passes to lagoon this year(haven't been in a few years), we've already gone twice this season. Easter day was perfect! It was a bit cold so we bundled up and it was fine, with that said, zero lines so we went on Primortal twice and literally evey ride in the park within 3 hours. Best day ever! Then we went last Sunday too. I went to lagoon as a kid almost every year so those core memories are the sweetest. I'm so glad your kids get to create those memories with you. Believe me they will talk about it there entire lives. Lagoon is amazing. And the kid rides are actually fun ha.
The trick is to just do it quick. The slower you insert the needle the more painful it will be. Also one thing I learned as a medical assistant is to never recap the needle. You risk poking yourself with it. Just discard the whole thing into a sharps container right after use. Also now that the medication bottle is open make sure you clean the top every-time before sticking the needle in it. You both will get the hang of it. ❤
Jess next time draw air into the needle and put the air into the vile and then draw the T solution. I had to give myself an intramuscular needle for MS and the nurse who taught me to give myself the needle every week told me to do that. You shouldn't get any air bubbles in the needle next time. It makes a huge difference. Austin it gets easier, trust me. I was needle phobic and after awhile it didn't bother me anymore. Good luck my friend
Austin. My daughter has been taking growth hormone shots ever since she was 4, she started giving her shots herself at 7 yrs old. She is now 17 and just started hormone ( estrogen) patches
I totally understand, anyone, having to give themselves shots. I have blood clots and after 2 days in the hospital (this was my 2nd round in the ER)) the nurse comes in and says 'do you want to go home?'. I said yes of course, i've had blood clots for years, I'm fine. She goes 'ok, well I need to teach you to give yourself the shots'. I said 'OH NO F'N WAY LADY!!'. I've never sworn at a professional but it wasn't happening!! After about 30 mins of me being in tears fighting her on it, I finally did it. Yes it sucks and your brain tells you not to do it cause it hurts so it's a lot easier for someone else to do it for you! I hope Jess gets a little less nervous each time...and BREATHE WOMAN!! Don't hold your breath lol. I'm glad you got some answers Austin and hopefully are on a path that leads you to better days! 💗💗
I give myself monthly injections for migraines and it gets easier each injection. Now that being said, the first time I had to do it myself I had to re-read the instructions several times, call my mom video chat, and have a conversation to distract myself. I've been doing self injections for over a year now and I still re-read the instructions and get a little nervous, but it's nowhere near as nervous racking as it was at first. You can do it!
I know exactly how you felt Jenn! Iv'e been giving my husband his shot every too weeks. I was scared as well, Was worried I would hurt him or mess it up etc. Took me a few minutes to muster up the courage to just do it!! I was so relieved. I also held my breath lol, now it's 123 all done. a littler hint when I give my husband his testosterone shot, I warm it up with body heat, (in my bra) if no pockets, due to the medication being so think, I find it helps with filling the needle to the right amount a little quicker as well as administering it! Hope that helps some!!! P.S. I cleaned the top of the bottle with an alcohol wipe before dispensing the medication!!!
I have to give myself 3 shots weekly. One in thigh and two in stomach. They don’t hurt especially if they use the smaller needles. Any questions just ask.
One way to get more Vitamin D is to be in the sun more. SOOOO, ya'll pack up the kids and come south. Destin/Ft. Walton Beach area in Florida has gorgeous beaches, there's a state park near, Grayton Beach State Park which is family friendly and also beautiful. You could stay in Destin and enjoy the sun! The girls would love playing in the white sand. This would be a fun summer trip after the cruise. May and June are good months to come. BTW, it's easier to give an injection if you do it quickly when you "poke" it in.
From a nurse, not being critical but have your mom go over technique with you. A few steps were missed. But you still did a great job. Austin deserves a sucker and you too lol.
You guys are amazing and I love your family and content.
Yes I am retired (43 years Hospital/Medical & I am shocked they were just sent home with a bag of Meds & Syringes & no hands on instructions... Yikes 👀 😬🙄😳😳
I had to give myself shots and I’m literally laughing at Jess acting like she’s detonating a bomb 😂😂😂😂
👍😅😂😅😅🤣
I loved when Austin said he was going to pee his pants and Micah looks down front and back of his pants!!!!😂😂😂
I thought I was the only person that noticed it.
Me too that was hilarious
I’m so so happy I’m not the only one that noticed that
My hubby had to do my infertility shots. He would come home on his lunch break at the same time every day and give me a shot. The first one he cried. After that, he would say, "Let's get it over with." You did fine Jess. Austin... hands in the air!!!
No she didn't just say she was going to yeet herself right off the coaster. 😂😂🤣🤣💀
That’s what she said.
I'm laughing out loud just because I'm a Nurse so this was so funny!!! Great Job Jess ❤.
You two have me rolling,I was laughing so hard I cried..
Paige’s faces on the rides haha Love it!!
nope for me lol
My husband had low T and has been taking vitamin D, Magnesium and Zinc for over a year and his levels are back to normal....He wanted to avoid taking hormones...Good luck on your journey....
Mine too and vitamin E
My husband has a testosterone cream that he puts on his arm.They never offered him a shot.I'll have to have him look into that maybe
I broke both legs at same time had to give myself short in stomach 2x a day 1st time I called my friend who's diabetic for moral support
Paige just sat on the collar coaster like ...No Big deal...
Great Job Micah & Paige... GBY ALL 🙏❤️💙💖💖💙🧸🤗✝️
I remember My DAD taking me on the tea cups at Disneyland & spun me so... fast on the Tea Cups I PUKED 😬😬🤮🤮🤢🤢

I accidently held my breath the whole time, too. I was like,'Why am I dizzy? Ooohhh 😂'
Paige could be her own meme with the straight face on the roller coaster 😂
This was the best vlog I didn’t know how much I needed to laugh. Thank you for being you!! This goes down as one of my favorites.
Oh my god that was so funny giving austin his shot!! 😂😂😂😂😂 i jst couldn't stop laughing with you guys! I would be jst the same😂😂
I love Paige’s straight face for half the rides and then the “that was amazing”
OMG I am with you Austin, I am scared of needles too. Jess, I definitely feel for you, I can't imagine having to give anyone else a needle.

Omg 😂
I went through nursing school and used to be an EMT…and I swear, there must be something wrong with people like us…always stabbing people with needles… 💉 Bahahaha!!!😂😂 That was rich!!
Haahaha I started legit sweating, heart was pounding as Jess was about to do it😂😂😂 Literally freakin SAME lol.

😂😂😂 Don’t flinch or I’m gonna freak out!! Love it!!😂😂
While an old oc game, we did the Nancy Drew mysteries as a family with the boys reading the conversations and figuring out the puzzles
I was worried sweet little Paige didn’t like the ride but nope, “That was AMAZING!” ❤
I'm old and remember Lagoon was so fun before it became ridiculous expensive. Glad you had a great time!
That was the most hilarious vlog, watching Paige's face on the rides and then Jess with the shot, I was laughing so hard. What a Crack up, thanks guys.
Jess… “stop being a baby”.😂 I have done monthly b12 injections in my thigh for a few years now. It took me a few time to get use to it and I am apprehensive b4 each one still but it is so worth it in the end. Hugs to you all!

I miss going to Lagoon. We would go on a family reunion trip to preston Idaho, and stop ar lagoon after. Such fun memories

my hubby feels so much better on T. he was around 250. i hope you start feeling better!!
Totally sympathise with you on the shot, I recently had to inject myself every day for 40 days after PPH and it was so scary the first time! Well done Jess 👏😊
Micah was a riot too funny on the roller coaster
Paige is braver than I am. I hate high rides. So funny were their faces. Great video of all your family.

It was so funny when Austin said that he was going to pee his pants and Micah looked down at his pants. Lol . Fun day at the amusement park. Love watching the girls faces. You guys are so funny with the shot. Lol 😅

Great job Jess! Not sure I could do one on myself or give one
Omg, I think we all stopped breathing at the point the needle went in.
Well done Jess 👍😁
It gets easier! I was a NERVOUS WRECK to give my kitty (Milo) insulin injections but after a few times it didn't even phase me.
I had to give myself a shot for 2 weeks straight. I held my breath the first time and almost passed out 😅 remember to breathe in for a count of 4, hold for 2, or for 4. The best way to do it, I discovered!
I feel like I’m going to yeet myself off! 😂😂😂
🤞the shots improve how Austin’s feeling. Good job Jess!
Austin I have to give myself B12 shots once a month with an inch long needle. When I first started doing them myself, it was ever two weeks. I know how you and Jess feel. I'm also terrified of needles.
Paige’s face during the rides is ICONIC 😂
My husband always does his. I have never done it for him.
I had to give myself bloodthinner shots for a while in my tummy ,, my husband and myself got over the fear super quick!! Just breathe 🥰
Jess you rock!! I don’t know if I could have done that. I hate needles so bad !
We have season passes to lagoon this year(haven't been in a few years), we've already gone twice this season. Easter day was perfect! It was a bit cold so we bundled up and it was fine, with that said, zero lines so we went on Primortal twice and literally evey ride in the park within 3 hours. Best day ever! Then we went last Sunday too. I went to lagoon as a kid almost every year so those core memories are the sweetest. I'm so glad your kids get to create those memories with you.

"I'm going to yeet myself off." LOL
Those injections get way easier with each dose. You two were so funny to watch with this first one. Made me giggle out loud. 😃💜💜💜💜
Austin. My daughter has been taking growth hormone shots ever since she was 4, she started giving her shots herself at 7 yrs old. She is now 17 and just started hormone ( estrogen) patches
That’s one of my favorite cute games I played on my Switch!
I totally understand, anyone, having to give themselves shots. I have blood clots and after 2 days in the hospital (this was my 2nd round in the ER)) the nurse comes in and says 'do you want to go home?'. I said yes of course, i've had blood clots for years, I'm fine. She goes 'ok, well I need to teach you to give yourself the shots'. I said 'OH NO F'N WAY LADY!!'. I've never sworn at a professional but it wasn't happening!! After about 30 mins of me being in tears fighting her on it, I finally did it. Yes it sucks and your brain tells you not to do it cause it hurts so it's a lot easier for someone else to do it for you! I hope Jess gets a little less nervous each time...and BREATHE WOMAN!! Don't hold your breath lol. I'm glad you got some answers Austin and hopefully are on a path that leads you to better days! 💗💗
I give myself monthly injections for migraines and it gets easier each injection. Now that being said, the first time I had to do it myself I had to re-read the instructions several times, call my mom video chat, and have a conversation to distract myself. I've been doing self injections for over a year now and I still re-read the instructions and get a little nervous, but it's nowhere near as nervous racking as it was at first. You can do it!
I know exactly how you felt Jenn! Iv'e been giving my husband his shot every too weeks. I was scared as well,
Was worried I would hurt him or mess it up etc. Took me a few minutes to muster up the courage to just do it!!
I was so relieved. I also held my breath lol, now it's 123 all done. a littler hint when I give my husband his testosterone shot, I warm it up with body heat, (in my bra) if no pockets, due to the medication being so think, I find it helps with filling the needle to the right amount a little quicker as well as administering it! Hope that helps some!!!
P.S. I cleaned the top of the bottle with an alcohol wipe before dispensing the medication!!!
Hey Austin, I'm excited for you, this hormone treatment might help your beard grow in fuller. Who knows, your voice might become deeper too.
Off topic but where did yall get yalls couch from!!!?
I have given myself weekly allergy shots for about 10 years. It's not that bad.
AUSTIN YOU CAN DO THIS
I have to give myself 3 shots weekly. One in thigh and two in stomach. They don’t hurt especially if they use the smaller needles. Any questions just ask.
All of we nurses are cringing watching hahaha
I don't think Paige was as excited as she tells!!😂
The girls are braver than I am. I used to live near lagoon. They went on some rides that I won't go on. Lol
I've given many of those injections. Most guys have said they prefer it in the hip if you can convince them to try it there.
I loved Lagoon. Oh my as nurse …. ❤ Good luck on your journey with Testosterone injections
For some reason, keystone cops or laurel and hardy came to mind. I know that it is serious, y’all rock. Happy Day❤❤❤❤❤
One way to get more Vitamin D is to be in the sun more. SOOOO, ya'll pack up the kids and come south. Destin/Ft. Walton Beach area in Florida has gorgeous beaches, there's a state park near, Grayton Beach State Park which is family friendly and also beautiful. You could stay in Destin and enjoy the sun! The girls would love playing in the white sand. This would be a fun summer trip after the cruise. May and June are good months to come. BTW, it's easier to give an injection if you do it quickly when you "poke" it in.
I love your videos Dude and jesse you are gorgeous and you are cute
