Getting Ready
Over the next month we have a TON of things going on.  FET #2 is scheduled in about two weeks and I plan to pile up for at least a week after this time.  I know the fact that I was busy after FET #1 was not the cause of the miscarriage but still I was under stress because of the Art Festival.  After some testing we found out that I have a genetic disorder called MTHFR. I am homozygous (one gene from each parent) for C677T which is MTHFR in it’s rarest form unfortunately. I am now on very high doses of folic acid (L-Methylfolate actually) and a baby aspirin everyday.  MTHFR causes

FET #2
My appointment went well thankfully.  FET #2 is here.  How in the world did we get here this fast?  I start BCPs today so that we can try to schedule the ET during the week before Christmas.  Dr. A said that there was no reason to think the remaining 7 embryos were bad and would cause another miscarriage.  I did mange to talk him in to doing the testing for autoimmune and clotting disorders.  We will have the results back in 10 days.  I really hope all of that comes back normal.  I cannot imagine adding another problem to the list.  So yeah we have started FET #2 and I am very thankful to have something pushing me through the holidays!

On The Road Again
Our appointment is finally here.  We will leave way too early in the morning to make the 6 hour trip to the RE’s office.  The only good thing about having to drive so far to the Dr is good food.  I’m trying to talk HL into just driving back after the appointment because I hate staying in a hotel.   I have my knitting, magazines, book, & Ipod to keep me busy.  I also have my fingers crossed for good news.  I guess tomorrow is the day we find out what is next…

October ICLW
Just a quick update for those coming from ICLW.  Monday we are going to see Dr. A for a consultation after FET #1 ended with a miscarriage at 5.5 weeks.  Since there was no testing done I have no idea what he thinks he can tell.  The numbers were never high enough for anything to register on an ultrasound and no D&C performed so we will never know.  I’m going to ask for antibody & clotting disorder tests before we proceed with FET #2 or either a completely fresh IVF.  HL comes home early tomorrow morning from work and we are going to discuss things before Monday.  Anyway, I know I’m rambling but I’m busy today getting ready for his return and trying my bes

Good To Go
I spoke with the nurse yesterday and she said we are good to go for FET #2.  We have a consult on the 26th with the Dr to go over why he thinks this miscarriage happened.  I can answer this for him… we just don’t know.  Everything looked perfect, it just wasn’t.  Now if I can talk HL into going forward earlier than we had planned. I think I’m going to need the injections and the structure of the FET to make it through the holidays.  Who would have thought we would be doing this again!
