POI Update

So I have been on the higher concentration of POI now for a few days. I was so excited to start - certain that less oil = less pain. What I did not consider is that higher concentration = thicker oil. So going in, the oil actually hurts more.

Also in the last few day, my rear has been much more tender. I am not sure if this is from the higher concentrated oil or just from the accumulation of shots and resulting bruises. I think it is more of an accumulation issue because even though the concentrated oil hurts more going in, it doesn't hurt or bruise more after the injection.

I gave in last night and pulled out our two king sized pillows - to sleep on top of! I did this last time to alleviate the pain while sleeping and it seems I will be doing it this time again. Sleeping on top of pillows makes me feel a bit like the princess and the pea. Or maybe I should say, the princess and the POI?

I love that image of the princess and the pea. I only did the shots for what, like two weeks, and I almost had to start sleeping on a body pillow too! Hopefully the pain settles down soon for you.
