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.

As I get ready for the week and for the surgery on Thursday, I reflect back on the past weeks. Things that have happened since my last post, I had to get a mammogram a couple weeks ago. Timing worked out to get it done in between the breaks with the IVF. If you haven’t […]
