It felt SO good to actually say outloud to someone (the nurse at my job) that there's a CHANCE I could be pg.

Yes, about 7 or 8dpo. There were a LOT of coworkers waiting for their shots, but she was discreet and closed the door.

Re: Well, I did it...
Oh and...please be smarter than me....I was SO concerned about getting the mercury free shot that I paid NO attention to which arm she was using!! I got the shot in my right arm and it's making typing and answering my phone quite challenging!

according to the CDC, absolutely nothing. it is a tiny amount.
However, my feeling is. . .if you are supposed to avoid even EATING mercury in fish, i dont want to be injecting it. JMO! I am not a doctor nor do I play one on TV
