RE Follow Up

We had our follow up with our RE today and it didn't go well.  Basically, my AMH value is .56 and someone my age should have a value between 2-4, so in so many words my eggs are crap (those of a 40+ year old).  We have a 30% chance of getting pregnant.  We still have 2 more frozen blasts but I am not feeling so great about those since we have transferred 5 from the cycle and none of them took.  So at this point I am thinking we need to seriously consider donor eggs or adoption.  We will still have another frozen cycle with the 2 we have because I can't leave them.  We won't be doing that though until September or October, I just want to enjoy the summer first.  But I really think we need to figure out what we are going to do if that frozen cycle fails (which I have a feeling it will).

I just have to thank God for that beautiful, perfect angel I have napping upstairs right now!!!!!

Yet Again - Negative

Wish I had better news but once again I got that awful call that it didn't work.

Transfer Complete

Yesterday we had our transfer - everything went really good!  We ended up trasnferring 3 blastocysts - one of them was already hatching (which is a great sign).  I was very shocked when the doctor came in and said we have 3 that we're going to put back with a very, very miniscule chance that all 3 would take.  I thought for sure that the most he would transfer would be 2 so needless to say I still think I am in shock that there are actually 3 blastocysts inside me right now.  I am freaked out about the thought of all of them taking - I think I could handle 2 but 3 really scares me!  All I am praying for it to work!  My blood test is on May 21st, so we'll know then if it worked!

FET Date

Sorry I have been MIA lately.  Things are all good here.  I have been taking meds in preperation for our frozen embryo cycle.  I went to the doctor today for a check and everything is looking good so one week from today will be our transfer!  This has to be it - 3rd time trying for number 2 - so third times a charm, right?!

Adam is Learning

Today I made tater tots for dinner and Adam asked me for some more cylinders! I died laughing - I know he learned what cylinders are from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, that is where he learned all of his shapes (with my emphasizing it as well on our own) but he knows all the basic shapes and also cone, sphere, cube and we are working on all the "gons" hexagon, pentagon, octagon. He is doing pretty well with counting and can pretty much count to 20 with a little bit of help - can count to 10 no problem. And he does pretty well with his colors. We are now starting to work on letters - my goal is to have him know them all by the time he is 3. He also loves to sing! His favorites to sing with no help are - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, On the Good Ship Lollipop, ABCs and his newest Take Me Out to the Ballgame. I taught him to sing that song to say root for the Cardinals (I am from St. Louis and love them) and my husband just cringes everytime since he was born here in Detroit and loves the Tigers.

Easter 2012

Easter was busy at our house this year. We had my mom and dad, brother and sister and her family stay at our house this weekend and then we had my husband's entire family over on Sunday - so all in all there were about 25 people there. It was so nice to have everyone. The Easter Bunny spoiled Adam rotten (either Mommy or Grandma needs to lay low on that front next time) but he loves everything. He had a blast with all of his cousins and keeps talking about how he played with ALL of his cousins. Adam has really been talking up a storm lately - it's so funny the things he says! He definately is ALL boy - he thinks burping and tooting is hilarious and trys to make the noises and laughs - Mommy can't help but laugh a couple of the times. Yesterday in the tub he tooted and got this shocked look and then said, "I hiccup in my back" - so funny!

Our transfer is scheduled for May 11th - the Friday before Mother's Day. I got a shot at the doctor last week of Lupron (it was $800!!!!) yes for one shot! I am so glad they did that at the office so I didn't screw it up. Now I don't have to go back to the office until April 24th for a ultrasound and then I'll start pills on the 26th and be on our way. I am really hopeful that this is going to be it for us!

Here are a couple of Adam's easter pictures....

Moving On

I have been quiet lately because there hasn't been too much to report. We have just been living our lives and enjoying the AWESOME weather we have been having lately! But soon things will be hopping - I got my calendar from the doctor this week for our FET! It looks like the transfer will be May 11th so soon I will be starting all of the drugs to prepare my body for that! It just has to work this time.

But before all of that I am hosting Easter for my whole family and my husband's whole family! It's going to be a big party! How is it almost Easter already?!
