One failed

And one failed

round

Have been somewhat documenting our

journey this time around. At least to the full extent that I can. This is

round two for us. First round last year we ended up with three embryos. Did one as a three day fresh transfer which failed and then a few months later a frozen transfer. The frozen transfer stuck and we were so excited, only to lose the baby at seven weeks on my hubby's bday. We did one last frozen transfer in February and that failed as well. So here we go again.

So this time we upped the doses of medication we would use and ended up taking 150 puregon and 150 menopur for a duration of twelve days.

The HCG trigger was taken on the 12th day and here we are now today two days later with the egg retrieval all done this morning ✔

Don't mind my face in the pics lol I was feeling the drugs pretty good. Light weight here at 120 pounds lol. I also have a video of my trying to eat the cookie but that's for another day 🤣🤣

And now we wait for the call tomorrow to see how many fertilized! Keep me in your prayers ladies! I need it :) freaking out a little here haha but trying to stay calm. Let's hope some of these embryos will be my future babies

So I just got my embryo update this morning. I had 14 embryos retrieved yesterday. 11 of those were mature. And on day one which is counted as today we have 8 fertilized. So scared ladies! Just hoping there babies continue to grow until I can carry them myself! Ahhh the stress is unreal!!! Keep the prayers coming for me girls,much appreciated! Xoxo

Well I got the email today with my day 3 report on my embryos. It's good news today ladies! Now 9 embryos are dividing!!

Yay! Now I am hoping they last till day 5! It would be so wonderful to have a bunch to put on ice for later. Transfer is scheduled for this Sat Oct 13th and we will be putting back two embryos this time. :) will update you all again on transfer day! Thanks again for all the support ladies! Xo

Went on Amazon and bought a pack of 25 cheap hcg tests for about 24 dollars. They are exactly like the dollar store ones. Started testing out the trigger tonight 6 days past trigger shot of 10 000 units. Transfer tomorrow morning ahhhh!! Here is how strong the line for the trigger is right now
