The Hail Mary

I just had the last round of intra-uterine insemination. It was difficult. When I went to the appointment prior to the procedure, my doctor had schedule the procedure for a day and a half later. I thought this was strange since I have been going in later in the afternoon the day after. Hmm, I thought maybe he was on to something. Perhaps the first two unsuccessful attempts prior could use a little change up. So, I came in a day and a half later in the morning.

I felt like garbage the entire day when I got to work. First off, I was in pain from the procedure. Secondly, I should have just parked in front of my house and walked to work since my work parking lot was completely filled when I got there. And finally, it was strangely warm outside. I just wanted to get through the day and kick back on the couch. I will be testing in about two weeks.

My Last Round of IUI

Well, today is day one of my cycle and I'm growing more and more impatient and frustrated. On day 11 or 13, I will be having my final round of artificial insemination or intra-uterine insemination (IUI). After this point and if it is unsuccessful, I will be going with the husband to the fertility clinic. As I read the words on the page, it makes my skin crawl knowing that we actually may have to go to the end of the plan. It's quite frightening and exciting; however, the scary part is more prominent than the latter. Here goes nothing...or everything for that matter.
