Our Journey For A Little One

Round 3?

Last week the hubby and I ventured down state to our clinic for our post-op. We had a list (once again) of questions to ask. Our doctor said that she was a little surprised that this round didn't work..... she said it was a little unusual for someone our age and with our quality of embryos. Hearing that didn't make us feel all too great.

Two weeks ago I also had 12 vials of blood taken to see if perhaps I have a blood clotting disorder. Only half of those tests have come back, and so far, they are all negative. So here we are again, scratching our heads and with more questions than answers. Our doctor said that we could proceed with round 3 when we are ready and to possibly consider transferring our remaining three embryos. I don't know how I feel about that quite yet, but I do know that round 3 will be our last round.....for a variety of reasons. She also mentioned that if round 3 doesn't work, that we could have genetic testing done to check out our chromosomes. The hubby and I looked at each other, like why should we wait for another loss? We'd rather know now rather than later. If there is something wrong that could potentially harm our baby (if I were able to actually carry), I cannot and would not proceed with this process any further. We both agreed that we are not that greedy or selfish. The doctor gave us the okay, so the hubby will drive down to the clinic on Tuesday. It's $100 per person and at this point, what's a couple hundred more bucks for peace of mind?
