Latest Update...

Okay, so I went to the doctor again today to have bloodwork and an ultrasound done. Our target embryo transfer date is AUGUST 4th!! Keep us in your prayers! ;)

Gettin Hormonal...

:) I start my estrogen pills, patches, and progesterone in oil shots on Friday! That means that approx. 2 wks from Friday, we'll do the embryo transfer! Whoohoo!

Getting Ready for Embryo Transfer Number Two

As many of you know, there are always unexpected "bumps in the road." In short, my husband recently questioned whether or not he was in a place in his life where he should have another child. After talking it out for two weeks and speaking to family/friends/church, he decided that he couldn't be more excited about the opportunity to have a baby with me and it was only a temporary "Freak Out." What I don't want, is to bring a gift from God into the world for the wrong reasons. We have seen a counselor at the church and have gone to the Lord in prayer for two weeks now. We are both on board and ready to rock and roll with this embryo transfer!

I went to the doctor on Wednesday 07/08 and had a saline uteran ultra-sound (I think that is what they called it! Ha!). Dr. Gill wanted to make sure that I was okay and that I didn't have any problems physically. He says that he didn't want to waste any of our embryos, as they look really good (all four!). Everything looks good and Dr. Gill says everything "Is a go!" I was even given a shot to "get the ball rollin." I have continued taking my hormones and will return to the doctor tomorrow morning for another check up and blood work. We will know a more accurate date for the transfer of two of our embryos sometime this week. I will continue to keep you all posted so check back periodically for more updates! Thanks for all of the continued support and well wishes! Remember us in your prayers over the next 9 months! ;)

June 2009, started meds...

I have officially started the process to get my body ready for a July embryo transfer. In approximately six weeks, we will transfer TWO embryos. I am asking that you get the word out and start the prayers and send happy thoughts my way. ;) I will go in within a few weeks to be pricked and prodded with needles and have my uterus checked then we will schedule a day to come in for our second attempt at having a baby (or babies if God so chooses). I will keep you all posted on what is going on. I am both anxious and nervous...

Getting Anxious...

I'm counting down the days until we can "try" again...Please start your prayer circles, as we are aiming for a July embryo transfer. I will begin my regular check-ups (more needles and blood drawn) in June and will let you know when the big day is scheduled.

Results

We have received the results from my surgery and everything came back good. It turns out it was a fluke thing and we can try again in January. However, since the soccer season begins on the 12th, we've decided to wait until later in the year when I can lay low, relax, and not have the stress of defending our two year undefeated winning streak!

I will visit HFI in March, and we'll go from there. Stay tuned...

Post-Op Dr's Appt 10/15

I visited Dr. Schmidt again today for my post surgery check up. She says everything looks good and that the results of my D and C should be available in another 2 weeks. She will call me with those results and let me know when/if we can try again. Please continue to pray for us as we wait for answers...
