We haven’t wanted to share such news and kept this to ourselves for a little bit to work through our feelings. We appreciate everyone respecting our privacy and waiting for us to share our updates. Our last embryo didn’t stick. Transfer Date: August 26Pregnancy Test Date: September 5 We don’t want to stop believing, but […]
I have resigned from my job as it had become too much to allow for a work life balance, and the stress was high. Stress in general is not good especially for the IVF process, and we have an egg retrieval coming up. If you have been following our blog, then you know that this […]
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 […]
The G-CSF wash did not help my lining; it actually stayed the same. I am feeling defeated yet again. That is not what I imagined as I had a “good feeling” or maybe I was trying to be positive. Next steps, we will try the wash again and have a check up in 2 days. […]
When we hang out with our friends kids; we always try to convince the kids to take a no thank you bite. It’s to encourage them to try something new and not make a decision that they don’t like something either by the looks or smell of it. The 2nd lining check went OK. I […]
One of the many things I’ve learned is what foods, products, and supplements you are putting in/on your body. Eat as clean as possible which includes whole foods (proteins, fats, and vegetables) and try to avoid processed foods! BPA is also an issue so stay away from plastics and use glass when reheating foods up […]
I had my lining checkup; this typically occurs around 2 weeks after Aunt Flo shows up. The good news, the lining was trilaminar which is good (we did not have that last month)! At the time of embryo transfer, it is favorable to have an endometrium of a thickness of between 7 and 14 mm […]
One thing I didn’t do when I started on this infertility journey: keeping a file of all my medical records. I have learned that you must be your own advocate and when changing doctors, it doesn’t guarantee they will read all of your history. They are seeing many patients so you must know your history […]
We have the green light to get this party started again! The key was waiting for my friend, Flo to show up. I had a check up today; things looked good and now we kick start the shots and drugs again! The protocol was slightly changed and we will add the uterine wash that I […]
The beginning of my personal leave is not getting off to right start. Unfortunately, my lining became thinner than last week and the transfer has been cancelled. It’s not what we wanted to hear but it is what it is. At the end of the day, we want this to be the best scenario because […]
