We had our one day work up with CCRM in Colorado back in June 2013.
Everything looked great except for...dun dun dun...my ovarian reserve. We decided to move forward with an IVF at CCRM at the end of July 2013/August 2013.
We ended up with retrieving 5 eggs with only 2 mature at that time. 2 more matured over night and one of each fertilized with ICSI. We froze both embies on day 3...One was a 7-cell with 10% fragmentation and 4-cell with 15% fragmentation.
Here's a few pictures from our trip to Colorado. While there with our retrieval, we were able to do some exploring with Albert and Daisie.
With neither embryo being super great quality, and day 3 at that, we decided to transfer both in October. Unfortunately, neither one took. Dr. M thinks it was due to quality (not a big surprise there) and wanted to regroup to figure out a plan next.
Talk about devastation. This was such a difficult time for us, but we weren't giving up hope. After regrouping with Dr. M, we decided we were going to try again with my own eggs before even considering donar egg or embryo adoption. She recommended we try again at least 6 months from now and suggested I get on a slue of supplements/meds while going gluten free. Hey, whatever it takes.
So, here we are. In a position of disappointment but we haven't given up hope. We have age on our side. We have hope on our side. We have faith on our side. Here's to round #3...
