I've added more info to my calendar, and I changed the units from ml to iu. Here's a little lesson in metric mesaurements: 1 cubic centimeter (cc) = 1 milliliter (ml) = 100 International Units (iu) if we're talking liquid. So this first series of lupron at .1ml is the same as 10 iu , and I could have written the second series as .05ml, but it's easier to read as 5 iu. And since the follistim and repronex are measured in iu I decided to switch, but they're actually different because the powder is 75 iu, then I add 1 ml sterile water to disolve it, then I put that in with the 2nd 75 iu of powder. It makes slightly over 1ml total for the injections. Okay, that's enough math and chemistry for the day, my brain hurts. :-)
