Transfer

Yesterday we transferred two perfect embryos into my uterus! :)
Here is a picture:



We also had two perfect blastocysts to freeze. :)
Here they are:

Quick Update

I just wanted to write a quick update with our day 3 embryo report. Yesterday our embryologist called and told me that we have 7 of our 12 embryos that look right on track at 6-8 cells. He said they looked exactly how they want to see them on day 3 and they were the best mine had ever looked at that point. Our other five embryos are developing a little slower with 4-5 cells but they still could catch up. They leave the embryos in the incubator on day 4 so I didn't get another update this afternoon, but they should have been at the morula stage today. Tomorrow morning we are going to Dallas for my embryo transfer. At that point we will find out how many of our embryos have made it to the blastocyst stage which is where they should be on day 5. :)

:))))

IVF #3 is looking to be a success so far! This time I switched my medications all up and did Menopur, Gonal-F, and Ganirelix then a combination of Novarel and Ovidrel as a trigger shot. Yesterday was my egg retrieval and we got EIGHTEEN healthy, normal looking eggs. Today the embryologist called with my fertilization report and 12 of the 18 fertilized successfully and all 12 look healthy, normal and good!! No vacuoles, no problems at all. I am thrilled!!! He will call again on Friday (day 3) with another report on how they are looking. My transfer is scheduled for Sunday. :)) Can't believe that after everything I've been through we finally got some healthy eggs!!

IVF #3

I forgot to update after my last appointment. We are going to start IVF number 3 in the beginning of July. We're going to switch up all my medications and try the antagonist protocol to see if my eggs react better to it. Hopefully we can get at least one or two good eggs that stick this time!

We Shall See

Just wanted to post that I'm going to the RE tomorrow for my first visit after my miscarriage. I have no idea what to expect. Who knows if he'll recommend another IVF cycle or other options............. We shall see.

Long Time No Blog

I just wanted to post a short update and let you know I'm still alive. I am on my first elective break since beginning this trying to conceive journey. After my miscarriage, I just couldn't pull myself back together quick enough to jump back into everything. Instead, I decided to take some much needed time out for myself. It's been a nice break and I'm in a much more stable place emotionally now. I'm not sure exactly what my next steps will be, but first I have to return to my doctor to discuss what went wrong. I may get a second opinion as well. I'm not in any major rush, but I feel like I will be ready to take the necessary steps to get us closer to having a baby sooner rather than later.

Fly

Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again

Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet

Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget

Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light
