Yesterday, we had a clinic appointment to check the thickness of my uterus lining (another internal scan). It needed to be 7mm or above to schedule an embryo transfer date. Knowing how my body has reacted so far, we had a feeling it would not be thick enough and we would need to continue with the shots for another week and schedule in another scan.
However, to our surprise, the consultant told us my uterus lining is a healthy 9mm!!! Both hubby and I had huge smiles on our faces and were really pleased. It’s really exciting to think we are almost finished with this round and we will know if this has been a success or not very soon.
We now have a confirmed embryo transfer date – Monday 20th May. As it’s a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET), we will be informed in the morning of the 20th if the embryo defrosted successfully and if so, we will be given a time slot on the day. We have three embryos in storage so we are confident that this FET will happen.
Emotions are all over the place at the moment. Last night I had my last shot (thank god) and I have started using pessaries. I am still on the Estrogen tablets too. I have scheduled two weeks off work to sit back and relax during the ‘10 day wait’. The last IVF round I felt stressed at work which I felt may have hindered the success.
Loads of questions are spinning around in our head at the moment …
– Will this be the last time I take an IVF shot?
– We will know in two weeks’ time if I’m pregnant…OMG!
– What if it doesn’t work…we have to go through this all over again. Will it be a FET?
– We look forward to baby shopping, my baby shower, having a little baby in the house…
– This time next year we could have a baby in our arms…
Exciting times!!!
