Ready to Try Again

I had my follow up appointment with my doctor yesterday and he says that it was just bad luck that my transfer didn't work.  He decided to have me redo some blood work that I did in 2013 before I had my transfer with Alex, just make sure nothing has changed, like my thyroid, etc.  All those tests were normal 3 years ago and he doesnt expect them to different but it's more a of precaution before doing another transfer.
Which brings me to another transfer.  Going to try another transfer on September 26th. About 6 and half weeks away.  Enough time for my body to get rid of all the previous hormones and start over. And my lower back to recover from the bruises from the progesterone shots.  And my belly has some extra time to recover from the patches. Back to starting shots this month on the 26th. And going to try patches again but a different brand and hopefully I will not have same reaction.
We will again only opt for a single embryo.  The risk of twins with transferring two embryos is still 50% and that number is too high for Greg.  Which is fine with me because I do not want twins either. We only want one more child. With that being said, we are not sure if we will choose a male embryo (since 2 failed this time) or have another girl (since we had success with one already). That is to be determined at my baseline ultrasound.

So fingers crossed we have better luck this time both with the medication and with little embryo sticking!!!
