A quick update regarding our follow up appointment this morning... We were really hoping the fluid in my uterus would go away and we could focus on moving forward with the embryo transfer, but that's not the case. The fluid is still there and our Doctor would like to go ahead and start the progesterone on Thursday to prepare for the transfer next Tuesday, sometimes when progesterone is added the fluid will take care of itself. We are scheduled for a follow up with her on Monday morning to check on the fluid and if all looks good then we will transfer an embryo on Tuesday. If the fluid is still there then we will cancel for this month and start over next month.
I've convinced myself that we will probably not transfer this month, just to save my sanity. We want the BEST possible environment for our embryo and if we have to wait for perfection then I will gladly wait. We appreciate all the prayers and positive words from all of you, please keep them coming over the next few weeks. I began praying for patience and I truly feel like my prayers are being answered because I feel more at ease about all the waiting. Have a great week everyone!
Love,
Lauren & Matt

A Bump in the Road...
I decided to update today since I sort of already did via Facebook.... If you've been following you know that we were scheduled to transfer an embryo next Tuesday, but that has since changed. We had a follow up appointment on Wednesday to make sure the uterine lining was thick enough to transfer as well as blood work. During the ultrasound my doctor found that I had some fluid build up in my uterus and decided to have me come back today to see if it would go away on its own. Well, it didn't and now our transfer is on hold for now... We go back on Monday to see if it has resolved and if it hasn't I will go ahead and start a progesterone supplement to see if that will help and if it does then it's great we can schedule the transfer the following week. However, if the fluid is still present then we will cancel this cycle and more than likely I will need a hysteroscopy (exploratory surgery of the uterus) to figure out exactly what is going on.
I'm feeling extremely overwhelmed, disappointed, sad and a bit defeated.... I know we have so much to be thankful for and we have these 2 embryos that need the perfect home in my uterus. I know that we have to be cautious and wait for EVERYTHING to be perfect for the transfer to happen, but it's just disappointing. I am definitely having my patience put to the ultimate test. A friend of mine said to me, "just remember this is your bump." She's right, it's just a bump in the road and we have to keep moving forward. I have to trust my doctor and the process. They say "good things come to those who wait" and I believe its true.
Please pray that we have the strength and patience to get through these next few weeks, we appreciate all of the positive thoughts and prayers we have received.
