The true meaning of intramuscular

Today is potentially the day before transfer. I thought I would be really nervous but I am feeling pretty good. I was busy with friends all day. It was the first day in over a week where I would actually walk with out much pain. It felt good to be able to pick up my house a little and not worry about the chemicals when I cleaned the bathroom. I didn't do everything but I figure if it doesn't happen tomorrow I will have 2 more days to clean.
DH and I have a high self efficacy when it comes to shots now a days. Today I wasn't nervous at all when the clock struck 9pm. We went in to the bathroom and mixed our concoction with ease. I bent over on the bed, I am sure you have a nice visual right now haha. We both took a deep breath and all of the sudden....OH MY GOSH! So, let me describe the feeling. I barely felt the needle go in but as soon as it hit the muscle it felt like someone had just hit me with their knuckle in the same spot about 20 times. My reaction was a yelp then laughter. Not only was it the weirdest feeling ever, it tickled too. I couldn't stay still as DH yelled and me to stop moving and stop laughing.
I now know that this is what it was supposed to feel like and that we didn't do it totally right the last 2 nights. I had him do it a little lower where my muscle actually was. When he took out the needle and realized I was not in pain, well almost, he started laughing too. Now I am totally hurting on my hinnie and will probably feel this for a while.
We will even the score with my other cheek tomorrow!
