Well, yesterday we got some disappointing news. We will not have our transfer this cycle due to hyper-stimulation. I was really disappointed because it means another month of waiting and another cycle of doctor's visits and medicine. However, I don't have to do injections again, but I will be on some type of medication when we do the transfer next cycle.
Of course, my overly positive husband found a billion benefits to us doing our transfer in September. One positive is that I for sure won't be due until the summer, so that's nice. Also, I've heard from a lot of people that a FET (frozen embryo transfer) have higher success rates. If the don't put the embryos back in me (transfer) right after the retrieval it gives my body a chance to recuperate from all the medicines I've been taking. The reason they are putting off the transfer for this cycle, is because of OHSS (ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome) I could get really sick, and in terrible cases could die.
So, although it's another bump in the road, it does seem to be the better option. My retrieval is tomorrow and they will still fertilize the eggs as soon as they retrieve them. So I'm praying we get an awesome phone call saying our little embryos are growing!
