The Next Chapter

It is about time that I started the next chapter in my journey!

It has been a difficult few weeks, especially for my IPs. But we are all ready to start again and getting excited about the future.

I have been on the birth control pill for about 3 weeks now. IM also started last week. We have our baseline scans next Tuesday and then should start injecting the Buserelin some time next week.

Egg collection and transfer should be around the first week of December if all goes to plan.

We had an appointment with the consultant at the hospital a few weeks ago and she said that in her opinion the miscarriage was "just one of those things". There's nothing we could have done. The embryos were good quality, but obviously just weren't intended to become babies. There's no reason to think the same thing will happen again.

Another thing we discussed was the poor fertilisation rate we had last time. Out of 19 eggs only 3 fertilised, and only two were good quality. The consultant believes that if we use ICSI this time we will have a much better result.

I'm really looking forward to trying again. But I am a bit anxious about things going wrong again. Hopefully this time everything will work out.
