nothing exciting yet ;)

Hey everyone!
Just a quick little update so I don't keep you guys hanging too long, Jen got her period last week so that's good! Now we wait until next month when she gets it again and we can go off of that for the transfer. Yay!! In the meantime I get to enjoy my new little nephew that was born last week. So cute and cuddly. I also had my first post-cancer check up and everything looked good but we still have to wait for the results to come back. Hang with us for some exciting action coming soon! Hopefully!

On to the next round!

As you know we had our phone consult to discuss the next transfer. Everything is ready to go! Since we've done this before, I felt as it was much easier to pick our embryos. Out of the six choices we had, we decided to go with AE166. Now that that the embryos are picked we wait for Jen to start her cycle again and go with a "very little med" cycle which should put us down for an early to mid May transfer with two embryos again!!!  We are excited to do it again but I think we may take this cycle with a more cautious attitude.

Now I will leave you an adorable picture of the cutest kids ever! I'm so lucky to have such an awesome job taking care of these cuties. Jennifer does produce some pretty wonderful kiddos (but I'm sure they take after their really cool auntie :p)!

Hey there!

So Jennifer is slacking again ;) she was supposed to update you all on everything. That's ok, I have her back! So yesterday Jennifer went in for an ultrasound to determine if she has successfully passed all of the pregnancy. Everything looked good and nothing was left and her blood work was back at 0. Jen is doing good and said it wasn't as bad as she had thought is was going to be.

So what happens next you ask? Well it just so happens that we have a phone meeting tomorrow morning to discuss the next cycle. We already know that we will be doing donated embryos and hopefully another natural cycle. Not too sure about the time line yet but I guess we will be finding out tomorrow! I will update sometime tomorrow to let you all know the details :) Hopefully we still have some readers out there!

:(

Well the ultrasound today went as expected and the pregnancy is not viable. The sack did not show anymore growth. Jennifer will let it pass naturally. We were disappointed but not surprised since we had a feeling it wasn't going to go our way this time. We do plan on doing it again with just donor embryos as soon as we get the green light so please hang with us to soon read up on our next adventure that will hopefully turn out to be our final and successful time with all of this craziness! Hey, we like to look on the bright side and say our life is never boring ;) Thank you for all of your support. We love our readers!

Damn!

Nothing in our life is ever easy! Oh well... we had our ultrasound today as you may know but it didn't go the way we had hoped. We saw one sack with a yolk all good but no fetal pole and the sack measured 5w6days when it should be measuring 7 weeks. Most likely it won't be a viable pregnancy. We go back for another ultrasound next wednesday and we will know for sure. Man this sucks! We will be trying again if this doesn't work out. I will be a mother someday!

ultrasound coming! update...

Just wanted to update everyone and let you all know that we scheduled the ultrasound for next Tuesday the 19th at 10:15. I'm so excited! I hope everything will be good news!


UPDATE: We had to change the day of the ultrasound to wednesday the 20th at 1:30 ;)

Blame it on the chemo brain and the preggo brain!

Hey all of our wonderful readers! Thanks for all of the wonderful encouragement! You guys are amazing!! Sorry to keep you waiting (read the title for a good enough reason for now) Now the news you've been waiting for! Jennifer's numbers didn't quite double but they did increase to 200. The doctors were not concerned what so ever since Sometimes with frozen embryos they can be slow to produce hcg. Ahh... relief? of course not! I googled until my fingertips were numb only to find out that it is really nothing to worry about ;) Let's just say it's going to be a long 9 months! Sorry Jen!

Everything seems to be progressing nicely but won't find out more until the week of the 18th when we will get our first ultrasound. I'm letting Jennifer pick the date that works best for her schedule so we aren't sure of the exact day yet but we promise to let you know as soon as Jen books it.

I'm starting to learn (thank you readers!) that this pregnancy is a step closer to my dream and I don't want to be so uneasy all the time that I miss out on such a wonderful thing so I am going to take it all one day at a time and be happy for each day we get to experience this pregnancy. I feel that I am more prepared for whatever the destiny of this pregnancy becomes good or bad. One day at a time, one day at a time, one day at a time...
