A Time of Waiting
Here we go again...on birth control pills! Sorry I've been quiet on here lately, but I honestly have not had much to update. I've literally just been waiting around for my transfer protocol/calendar to start. Once my period started I went back on birth control for three weeks to prepare for the frozen transfer. Just as the cycle before my IVF stims, the birth control essentially calms the ovaries so they respond better to medication. The next step is to start estrogen patches to prepare my uterine lining for the transfer. I am probably not going to share the exact transfer date, but it's tentatively scheduled for the first week of March. I'll post more as the transfer protocol continues. All thoughts and prayers are appreciated as we take this next step. It's still not a guarantee that the embryo will successfully implant, or that a potentially implanted embryo continues into a live, healthy birth, but at least it's a move in the right direction. Em
