Transfer day has come and went

Yesterday was Transfer day and everything went great. The embryos this time were even better quality than last time so the Dr. said he is very optimistic. I on the other hand am going forward cautiously optimistic.

We all wore green for good luck even my girls. They are so supportive to me in this journey. I feel blessed to have them.

Yesterday and today I'm on bed rest to make sure the lil beans have a chance to get settled in. I haven't had the cramping that I did last time so I am thinking that's a great sign. I also got some amazing homemade chicken noodle soup and lots of goodies and word searches to keep me occupied. Now we start the dreaded two week wait!!! My pregnancy test isn't until September 9th so we wait..... Or do we?? Lol anyone who knows me knows I will be testing as soon as possible here at home. So wish us luck that we get a positive test and stay that way. I have posted pics of the two lil beans we transferred and a pic of my awesome little girls in their good luck shirts. Here we go again on this amazing roller coaster ride :) :) :)

Getting closer

Well I'm am on day three of Progesterone injections and that means we are very close to transfer day. I personally find that very exciting. We were scheduled for IM to have retrieval today but because her body was an over achiever this time she was ready a day early so she had it done yesterday and they were able to get 10 eggs. So with that said that means instead of the transfer on the 29th it will most likely take place on the 28th. I am very happy that we have gotten to this point again, it feels like a long time coming. It's hard to believe it has been five months since our last transfer. I am very excited and nervous for the road ahead. All your prayers and good JuJu will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Day 1 of Estrace

Hi everyone, just wanted to do a quick lil update. Sunday was the end of week one on lupron and today was day one of Estrace. So in other words we are trucking right along. I have lining check on the 20th of this month and transfer on the 29th if all is well in IVF land. I am getting excited and anxious all at once. Not gonna lie this time around is a little scary too.

I got to spend sometime with my IM today we went to get an acupuncture consult, in hopes that having a few treatments just might calm my spazzy uterus lol. We gotta keep those lil embies where they are supposed to be. Other than that I don't have much more to update on. I will keep you all posted on all the new stuff as it happens. Thanks again for reading.

Hello, we are on the road again!!!!

Just thought I better start blogging again as now I have exciting news!!! We have a calendar and I start my lupron shots on Sunday we have a tentative date for transfer which is August 29th. So if all goes well my amazing intended parents will be proud new parents by May 17th.

This is very exciting for all of us, it is also a little scary given all we experienced last time. But I'm confident that us as a team can make this happen. I will keep updating as we move along in our journey and can't wait to share it with all of you.

Good Morning,Long time no see

 Hello it has been awhile since I last posted and I am very sorry for that. When I last posted we had thought there had been three babies but at my appointment with my Dr. we were told that most likely what I had miscarried was what they call a pseudo-sac, which is basically an empty sac. So there were not three.But still both embryos had taken just not where they were supposed to.

 Just after that I had a call at 5:30 in the morning on what easily turned into one of the worst days so far. I was awoken with a call from my frantic mother telling me my big brother had passed away. Just when you think it can't get worse it does! That is part of the reason it has taken me so long to post an update.

 I also have not posted simply because there isn't much to update about, Since the surgery we have been waiting for my HCG levels to return to normal which my body is finding hard to do, The levels are going down just much slower that we thought they would. It has taken almost a month to go from 48 to 20 and normal levels are less than 5, So I still have a long way to go. I still have to have a normal cycle before we are able to start meds again and that won't happen if I'm still testing positive for pregnancy.So once again we are learning to be patient. But I am hopeful the next round will go well and we can finish it off with a bang. Please bare with us while we get back on track. I also want to say thank you to all of you who have left supportive comments and all of your prayers. It really helps to know we are in your thoughts as you are in ours. Thanks for reading.

Three?????

So I thought I should quickly write this post to tell you of the news I received yesterday evening.

It was around 5:30 that my phone rang and when I answered it was my Dr. calling to answer a question I had dealing with my check up coming up, after he had answered my questions he gave me some more news...... Well it turns out after all pathology came back I actually had a baby in each of my tubes and my uterus. I was floored to think that we may have had 3. Though that news was surprising to say the least I am taking it well. He told me he had never seen anything like this. And wasn't quite sure what to say. Leave it to me to have freakishly abnormal things happen lol that's just who I am I guess!!! Well hope we all can enjoy the rest of this beautiful weekend. And I will post more after Monday's visit with the doc. Thanks for reading.
