Update…

I’ve been really bad at blogging for our Frozen Embryo Transfers. Whoops. This time of year is very busy at work. Between that, a toddler, and IVF, my brain and my body are spent.

So here’s the update…FET #1 failed. We were crushed.

FET #2 transfer was on April 6th. So we started meds March 17th and had the baseline appointment on March 14th. By the time we had the transfer, the clinic had lifted the last of the COVID policies and we were able to take Sterling with us. That was such a surreal experience.

Test day for FET #2 was Monday, April 17th. We got the call that it was positive, but my numbers were low. Anything over 25 is positive, but they like to see it at 50+. My HCG was 32.6 but my estrogen and progesterone levels were good. The HCG for a pregnancy doubles every 2 days. So I had to go in yesterday for another blood draw and test and hopefully see the HCG double. I got the call while at work, before a meeting…my HCG had declined to 11.6. So FET #2 failed. Our doctor is out of town this week, so she will be calling sometime next week to discuss next steps. I had to stop all IVF meds once I got the call.

So that’s the update. As of now, we don’t know what our next steps will be. Our funds are depleted with the two FETs. Most likely, it will come down to money. Which is so utterly cruel.

I will be posting again with processing through everything, but I wanted to give an update.
