I had my follow up appointment today with Dr. Milroy.  She explained and went over my IVF cycle.  She went through all of the records and showed us how great everything was.  All of our numbers were perfect.  So why didn't it work?  She said that the uterus lining needed to be a 6 and mine was 6.3.  So that number was where it needed to be but she said that maybe that wasn't enough.  So for our next cycle I will take the same suppositories as well as wear a patch and work my way up to 3 patches.  She said they will monitor the lining closely through sonogram and if it is not thickening up the way she wants it to then she will give me even more medicine to make it happen.  She also explained that even if the embryo looks perfect on the outside that it may not be perfect on the inside.  She said that if it is not quite right on the inside that it won't implant.  She said there is no way to tell from the outside unless genetic testing on the embryo is done.

We have decided to do FET this summer when I am not working so that I don't have the stress of being a teacher and don't have to worry about going to work.  FET is Frozen Embryo Transfer.  We have 3 very good quality of embryos still.  Our little "Frosties!"

The doctor told me that I needed to use this 3 months to loose some weight.  This is something that I have known for a long time.  I know that I need to loose weight.  I know that I need to eat healthier and be more active.  I am now committed to doing that.  I have contacted my cousins, Britt and Betsey, about the Advocare products and I think I will give that a try along with being more physically active!!  I am excited to get healthier!  I will need lots of support and encouragement from all of my friends and family!  So don't be offering to make me pancakes for breakfast!  ;)  And I better not see any of you eating a cinnamon roll!!  LOL

Thanks again for all your prayers and support!!!
