Round Two

Today I went for my baseline ultrasound and bloodwork and administered my first injection for our second attempt at pregnancy via IVF. Feeling a bit nervous, more so than last. You'd think by now I'd be numb to it all, but hardly the case. Tears began to well up during my ultrasound at thought of the month's end marking three years that I've been taking prenatal vitamins. The new ultrasound technician probably learned the hard way not to ask questions.

In any case, all numbers were as to be expected, with the exception of a small lingering cyst on one ovary. We're full steam ahead, however, anticipating egg retrieval on or about the 25th and transfer on the 30th.

Best Wishes Erin. I was wondering if/when you were going to try IVF again. I've also gone back through your old posts and read about the adoption attepts in Honduras. Whatever happened with that? Hang in there, the injections will be a breeze this time.

Adoption is still going, slow going, but going. Nothing seems to come easy, ever, but that's just the way it is, and I hope we've finally accepted that.

Thanks for the support out there.
