Here’s our schedule for our 4th IUI (5th if you count the one that was cancelled):

Tonight 9:30pm – hCG injection (to induce ovulation)

No, I will not be giving myself this shot. It must be done with a much longer needle and must be injected in the lower back area. I am not that brave. My parents’ neighbor, who is a nurse, will be giving it to me.

Thursday, March 12 – Insemination at 2pm

Friday, March 13 – Insemination at 9:30am

Friday, March 27 – Blood Test

Sometime soon, I hope to write about my thoughts towards this one follicle who I am affectionately calling The Lone Ranger.
