CD5: Happy ICLW!

Welcome, ICLW'ers! I am so happy you're here. After a three year journey, R and I are currently counting down the days to our first -and only- IUI. You can read all about our story here.

We originally planned on two home inseminations using donor sperm but Dr. P has managed to sway us to a single IUI. We are doing a natural cycle with a trigger shot. The calendar is currently set for an HSG on March 26. Since I ovulate late, our first ultrasound should be on CD18. Hopefully we'll be triggering around CD18-CD20.

Although our medical team thinks we're nuts to only do this once, R and I are trusting the Lord with the outcome of this cycle. We've clearly seen God at work in our lives and know that His plan is best, whether that includes another child or not.

I've got my lucky socks and am ready to go. I hope you stick around - things are about to get interesting!

Do you have any lucky talismans that you bring to procedures?
