Dealing with my Wife who wants me to give herself the Progesterone injections.

Unfortunately i hurt her yesterday while giving the progesterone injection. I know where to inject in the outer quadrant of each buttock and was successfully performing the task until she had to return back to Saudi Arabia where she started injecting herself. Now I think she hasn't been performing the task correctly, so when I returned to Saudi Arabia and injected her yesterday through her into a crazy spin. Now I'm an engineer and pride myself on attention to detail, so I'm a little hurt that this has all happened. I know there are a lot of emotions around. We have been through a few miscarriages, a septum removal and a lot of hard times since getting married in Apr 2018. I think she hates me.

Please can some help me understand and help get back into the good books with my Wife.

The hormones can have a major impact on a woman’s body. Just keep reassuring her. Be there for her. Tell her you love her. Tell her you are a team. Keep communicating. Take hatred with a pinch of salt. I was spitting fire when on injections! My partner just kept reassuring me and holding me. It’s all you can do.

I'm sure she doesn't hate you! It's hard with all the hormones flying around. Just be there for her, equally though don't make out that she hasn't been doing injections properly, I would be super pissed off at that....she wants this as much as you!! Just make her aware that you just want to feel involved and take the pressure off her a little.

Hi Jiffy. I don't have advises to offer. Just praying that things get sorted and best wishes for things to move forward well.

I'm so sorry to hear about your losses :( The thing I'm sure about, your wife doesn't hate you! You both are having tough times now. You're inbetween which puts additional strength on both. I did have my dh to do injections for me too. He did this for a couple of days, sometimes I felt I could do them better. But when tried later doing injectibles myself, I found out I totally had a bad hand at!! I understood how perfect my dh was doing that..I agree with ladies who've posted above. This is all about the hormons change. All those emotions/worries/.. You shouldn't blame yourself. Just be the best support for her. Listen to her. Be at her side. Do your best to keep patient. Storm won't last forever. Stay both well.
