Salt in the Wounds

Today I went for my Exit Appointment for the IVF study which I refer to as the "Salt in the Wound Appointment." I sit down and the doctor asks me "so, what went wrong?" I sarcastically said "I don't know, why don't you tell me." Thankfully my doc knows I am a bit of a smarta$$ and smiled at me. We are chocking up the failed cycle to a case of Hyperstimulation spoiling it for me. She feels that my estradiol levels were so high that it made implantation difficult. Not sure if I'm buying but what the hell... I got nothing else to blame it on.

We talked about our totsicles (frozen embryos) and she was optimistic. My clinic has the highest recorded FET success rates in the country. They froze 6 of our embies as soon as fertilization occurred so this will give us almost fresh cycle quality for our frozen transfer. We chose a protocol for when we are ready to move on to a FET. We discussed whether to transfer 2 or 3 embies next time and we left that one up in the air for now. So for now we wait and save and try to scrape together enough cash to afford the 3k we will need. We don't want to spend money that could be put into savings for the girls education so we put aside extra money for the FET.

We are hoping to do it as early as the late Fall but who the heck knows with us. Only time will tell.
