So eventhough we have our frozen embryos the doctor says its been too long and we have to redo the majority of all of the testing in order to do another round. We scheduled our one day work up for August 25th. I had to do another HSG test. This is where they insert a gas into your fallopian tubes to make sure they are open and do not have any blockage. I also got an ultrasound done to check on my resting follicle count. and blood flow. Anything greater than 8 follicles is a lot. The last time I had this test done I had 35 resting follicles on the right ovary and 20 resting follicles on the left. This time I had 32 on the left and 36 on the right. To say I am fertile is an understatement LOL. Then the last test I had to get was the hysteroscopy, this is a test that shows the inside of your uterus and checks for polyps, scar tissue, or any abnormalities that would cause a reason for pregnancy not to be successful. Again because our insurance does not cover any fertility we paid $ 1436.00 for these tests.
We also met with our nurse to update all of our paperwork with new phone numbers, address, and emergency contacts. She gave me the list of blood work that I needed to get done. The majority of these could be done at an outside lab so that we could use our insurance. We talked about they time frame we wanted to shoot for the transfer. Since we had planned to take a cruise in September we wanted to wait until well after we got back. One other blood draw we both had to get done was our Communicable disease testing. We wanted to put this off for a little while just because they are only good for 6 months and we did not have an ideal date set for when we wanted to do our transfer. We got our cost outline from the business office and then on to our last appointment.
The last appointment we had was to talk with our doctor and talk about our 8 frozen embryos, the grade scale for each of them and how many we would like to transfer this time. Since we had sucess with just one embryo we are going to do the same for this time around. We were reminded that in order to prep for pregnancy alcohol and caffiene needed to be cut out. I would need to stop playing sports before I could start on any of the medications again. Now that I have finished with all the summer sports and coaching Nevaehs volleyball this would be just fine with me.
We had our cruise cancelled because of the hurricane in Florida. So we had to push it back a few weeks. We finally made it on the big boat in October just in time to celebrate our 7 year wedding anniversary. We had a great time on the ship but missed Nevaeh and Bentley so much. We couldnt wait to get back home to see them. Once we were back I had to wait until my next cycle came so that I could get in touch with my nurse and schedule for the remainder of our blood work, get the list of medications I was going to need, as well as talk about getting our "mock up" callendar for transfer.
It's so crazy to think that we are now going to be going through round 2 of this very stressful yet exciting time. Please keep us in your thoughts over the next few months. ;)
