Getting over a fear one way or another

So I am the BIGgest baby when it comes to needles and shots! My Dad use to get so mad at me when I would through a fit over a shot, at 16....LOL! I do not have any tattoos for this reason. And it took me a long time to get my ears pierced and I cried like a baby.  I do have my belly button pierced too, but there was some drinking involved. But I was still a big baby about it.
Anyways the point of this post is this....
I went to an obgyn specialists Wednesday about my blood clotting blood work. I do have a blood clotting disorder. My Homocysteine levels are higher then they should be. I have MTHFR. Now don't ask me anything about it, because it is like a foreign language. I was following everything the Dr. was saying, but I can not relay it all back. What I under stand is that this blood problem could (most likely) be the cause of my miscarriages. And that leads me to how we will prevent another miscarriage.
Needles!!!! And a LOT of them!
The Dr. told me that my best bet is to take Lovenox injections TWICE a day my WHOLE next pregnancy! That is right..... OVER 500 shots! I am freaking out a bit! I will do whatever it takes to have a healthy baby but the thought of the shots scare me. Maybe it wont be as bad as I think will. And hey, I might even be able to get a tattoo after this is all said and done. I guess I will have to see when the day comes. No reason to get nervous yet.....RIGHT?!?!



Oh and on top of the Lovenox injections, I will be on a prenatal vitamins (of course), extra folic acid, and a baby aspirin. Should be fun...HAHA!
