We spoke with our RE yesterday and she reviewed with us the results of my ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Array). It turns out that the standard clinic protocol was not really compatible with my uterus. Apparently, my body needs almost a full additional 24 hours of progesterone before I am optimally "receptive" to an embryo. So, this explains why I had three failed cycles last year. My body wasn't ready. 

So, we have added the extra day into my protocol for this cycle and I'm feeling pretty good about it. Of course, it doesn't matter how good I feel about it... it will either work or it won't... but I wager a little positive thinking couldn't hurt?

Also, my pneumonia wasn't "walking pneumonia", it was regular pneumonia. And, it appears to be close to running it's course. Thank you, doxycycline!

Embryo transfer is scheduled for next Tuesday!

Progesterone in Ethyl Oleate

Your plans mean nothing.

So we just got back from our scheduling appointment with the FET coordinator and it turns out we won't be doing the actual embryo transfer until the middle of December... like, the 18th. I was NOT planning to have a transfer that late. This puts us at a due date of around September 5th. I was maybe kind of okay with having a due date of mid-August, but September 5th is REEEEALLY pushing it. I will likely have my 3rd semester nursing program orientation on the 22nd, and because 3rd semester classes are on Wednesdays, I probably won't have class until the 29th. However, I really did not want to be due after the semester starts. This is really, really difficult. AND, if for some reason I don't start my period within 4 days of ending the progesterone from my mock cycle... not only will I not get to visit my mom for Thanksgiving (due to baseline ultrasound scheduling), we will likely not make the cut off for transfer before the clinic lab closes for the Christmas holiday... wh...
