The dreaded 2ww............has now come to an end

Well - transfer done, vaginal tic tacs taken - estrace continued along with vitamins - read into every symptom, feeling, twing and twitch. 

I started taking hpt's on Wednesday, February 18 - a day earlier than scheduled beta = BFN 

February 19 - scheduled beta waiting, waiting by the phone - took another hpt= BFN 

Febraury 20 - another hpt - another BFN - called my G.P. - away on vacation - luckily her partner talked to me and confirmed a negative beta 

I am sad - I really was convinced this cycle worked. 

So we are back to square one like October / what do we do?

I contacted the clinic - I can do another cycle within the next month- im waiting for a couple more answers from my doctor - we will see what he says and we will make a decision from there. 

A huge part of me wants to get on that plane ASAP and do another cycle - but I'm also wondering what's best for my body. 

So many questions, here I come Dr. Google 

Thanks for the prayers and positive thoughts 

Till next time

February 2015

Well bad bad blogger again 

We are just about done our Mexican adventure again PUPO 

The weather has been great - some of the best we've ever had in Cancun. 

We transferred two great five day blasts again. 

Dr. Pagaza and Dr. Trevino did my transfer again - Dr. Gaytan wasn't at the clinic as he had done a delivery earlier that morning.  

Of course now every ting and pinch and anything I'm thinking oh it's implantation - fingers crossed - I am much more positive this cycle 

I also saw Ricardo from new life clinic this time for laser acupuncture. Man I love laser acupuncture I find it much more relaxing than traditional acupuncture on going to look harder for one at home - hmmmm maybe a new career for me?? 

Anyways I will keep everyone posted my beta  is on the 19th. 

Hugs XO 

So the super overdue update

Ok - I've been an AWFUL "blogger" I know last time I left was whoas of an IF - waiting for AF
Well she showed up that day - we started out drugs - I am going to make this update very brief - Got to Cancun - had an amazing vacation with DH & DS - LOVED watching him play on the beach - had transferred two very healthy embryos - and I am sad to say our cycle didn't work. Heartbreaking yes - but something deep down inside of me since transfer day told me it hadn't worked.

So NOW here is the New Year! We have decided to give it a go again - and we will be in Cancun for our transfer for February 10.

Took my Lupron last weekend - started Estrace on Friday - I don't remember it affecting me this much in the fall - I've had a daily headache - and the hot flashes - oooohhh weeeee - pray for my DH the next couple weeks hahaha.

I am looking forward to my trip - I am sad that DS isn't coming with us - but the flight back is just too much for DH as I can't lift anything post transfer - dealing with the stroller, car seat, suitcase and a VERY active toddler was too much - so he is having a trip to babcia and dzadza - they are beyond excited to have him - I want him there with us so much - but I know it will be more relaxing and a little less stressful without him.

Wish us luck! Will keep you all posted

The whoas of an infertile

Sitting around praying for your period to show up so that you can start your protocol for FET………

It's been awhile………….

WOW - life is BUSY with a baby!!! Our little man is almost 9 months old and is truly the best! He is very go go go go - I love watching him discover things and explore - we laugh daily - I knew I would enjoy motherhood - but who knew it would be this much! Sure I am downright exhausted some days -but I wouldn't change a thing!!

We have made the decision to keep our embryos in Cancun -  just because transferring them is not the simple quick process I thought it would be - so its a good excuse for a vacation - we will be returning in the fall to try again! Now the question is how many to transfer! Originally thinking that our embryos would be in Calgary and it would be a easy enough trip we decided we would only do one at a time - because it would be easy and cheap enough to go back and try again - but now that we are retuning to Mexico - we are torn if we do two or just one and pray that it sticks - so many thoughts and decisions - two - what if its twins ? one - what if it doesn't take? so thats where we are now - trying to firm up dates with the clinic and decide how many to transfer…….

Little Man is 20 weeks today!!!

WOWowow time FLIES - our little monkey is 20 weeks today - life is great - our days get away on us having so much fun together - even when he is having a little melt down and I have tried everything to make him happy - when he gives me his cheeky little grin its pretty hard to be mad or upset with the monkey!!!

Things are well - slowly getting myself to working out again - the recovery from my c-section did not help with getting on the train.

I have wanted to become pregnant again since Alexander was pretty new - so we haven't been preventing it from happening -nothing yet!

However we have made the decision to move our embryo's from Cancun to the clinic in Calgary so we are just awaiting our referral and start the train - I think it will be fairly simple, I found a company in the states that specializes in this - so I am hoping its as easy as I think I have "researched" it to be - so its a waiting game and if nature doesn't play its course I am hoping we will be able to do an FET this summer !!

I will keep you all updated!!

Trying not to be taken away by the wind today - record breaking gusts recorded this morning 120km/hr - what a winter we are having!!!!
