Last week Matt and I decided to get a second opinion with Dr. Charles Miller, another reproductive endocrinologist. He came recommended to us by our neighbors who have a beautiful ivf baby and a friend of a friend who is currently pregnant via IVF from him.
We had a long consultation with Dr. Miller and after his suggestion of trying a few different things/tests we have opted to no longer see our old reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Morris and start seeing Dr. Miller. So once again after a beautiful vacation in Mexico we are starting the IVF journey again. Here's a quick picture of our vacation! Super relaxing allowed Matt and I to get away from life and all of its stressors.
I started this week with my very last blood draw at my old doctors office to confirm that I was no longer pregnant.... A little bitter sweet to hear those words but reassuring that everything ended as it should and I don't need anything else done. The nurse kindly told me to call when I was ready to start my next round of in vitro. Knowing that I would not be returning to there office I got a little sentimental and almost sad as I hung the phone up.
I feel confident in my decision to give another doctor a chance of making a miracle happen in this little body of mine. So just as things ended So fast I have quickly started the process again. I had blood and an ultrasound on Tuesday to confirm that my hormone levels are where they should be and I can begin a "trial period" of a pretend cycle of preparing my body for a frozen embryo transfer.
This is new to me and will allow my new doctor to take two biopsies and test for a few different things. So for the next 5-6 weeks I get to take a combination of oral pills and shots of progesterone in my booty!! Thank god for my husband who has been nick named "murse". Standing for my male nurse. He's got the ole shot thing down!!
