Cycle 3

I have officially began my 3rd (and hopefully LAST) IVF cycle. I am currently on the BC and I had the endometrial biopsy done last Thursday. It wasn't fun but luckily it was over quickly. For those of you I haven't told, this isn't truly a biopsy. When girls had perfectly good embryos but were not getting pregnant, doctors started thinking maybe something was going on with their lining. They figured why not do a biopsy to see if there is something cancerous etc. What they found out was there was hardly anything wrong with their lining when they sent The sample off but the amazing thing was after being biopsied, girls were getting pregnant! My doctor said they aren't even sure why this keeps happening but it does. So we have completed that New step plus they are going to do assisted hatching on my embryos this time. That's where they cut a slit in the shell on the outside of the embryo so it can hatch out and implant in the lining. My only problem now is being able to convince them to put in three embryos. They wouldn't do it last time because we had only one failed IVF but now that we've had two, we are going to beg them. It's not like I'm asking for 8. And the way I see it they told us we could've done injectables with IUI since we know we fertilize well and make quality embryos. That is way riskier for multiples than this way.:) I start my Lupron shots on Sunday. Yay!!!!!! So happy to be moving forward.

  2. Endometrial biopsy's are NO fun! I had a horrible reaction to it but interesting to hear that it was helping women conceive! I had mine a month and 1/2 ago so here's hoping! Good luck to you guys! I hope you get what you want!
