Finally, we have good news! After 3 cancelled IVF cycles, I received the green light to start egg retrieval (ER) stimulation medication aka stims! There is excitement because there have been so many delays this year with the cancelled embryo transfers (due to thin lining) and the cyst causing low follicle aka egg recruitment. There […]

Today I feel like a turtle in a race. The finish line seems to be nowhere in sight but we will persevere until we cross that finish line.

Turning the page. Now that the attempt to transfer the 3rd embryo is behind us momentarily (we have hit pause on that piece), we were encouraged to meet with a new IVF doctor in the area to retrieve more eggs. We are hopeful we can make more embryos to take the pressure off this last […]
Well …. I really don’t know what to say but we had the transfer cancelled yet again (I’ve lost count now, it’s the 4th or 5th cancel). The second G-CSF wash did not thicken my lining. The lining looked better in quality (triple stripe) but it didn’t get thicker. I am pretty much at my […]
