Round Two...

Wow!  A lot has happened since I last posted on this blog.

As you can guess from the lack of posts, we were not successful with our FET.  We ended up with a chemical pregnancy (our 2nd in a row) and took a break from TTC for about 6 months.

In that 6 months, we moved to Lansing, MI so that I could start a new job with a great new company.  Over the summer, I had a hysteroscopy, which showed I had some scar tissue and remaining "products of pregnancy" from my miscarriage and d&c in June of 2012, all of which I had removed through an outpatient hysteroscopy.

We tried another injectables/IUI cycle following that procedure and had another chemical pregnancy in October 2013 (3rd in a row / 4th loss overall).  We had RPL testing and it didn't show much, except one mutation of MTHFR, low vitamin D, and potential clotting problems.  So, I'm now on extra folate, baby aspirin and taking prednisone following ovulation.

With all of that said...  it's time to do another FET and this is the cycle we are doing it (hopefully).  Coincidentally, cd 1 of this cycle is the 1 year anniversary of my last FET.  Maybe that's good news, maybe its a bad omen, or maybe it doesn't mean a damn thing.  Who knows.

Today is cd3.  I start bcp today and have to get my cd3 blood work done.  We are heading to Columbus, OH on Friday to have our consult and get our protocol and estimated transfer date.  Based on last time, it should be May 2nd, May 9th or May 16th.  Columbus is now just under a 4 hour drive for us, so the logistics of this FET are going to be much easier to navigate. We are going to transfer 2, which will leave us with 2 babysicles still in deep freeze.

Hoping this FET brings our rainbow(s).  We are nearing the end of our journey and are counting on one of these four embabies to stick.
