It's Go Time

I know that I haven't been keeping up with this blog but i guess there hadn't been too much going on for our second embryo adoption until recently. We also had some internet issues that kept me out of the blogosphere for almost all of may. But over the last week things have started picking up and it is now officially "go time" for our second embyro transfer. I have been on the phone with the pharmacy re-ordering all of my meds and needles. And on friday we received a fax with the embyro donors available to choose from. We had to choose 2 donors but our back up donor was already taken so we chose another one tonight. Our first choice is a donor couple from Texas. They are donating 5 embryos at the blasocyst stage. We decided to go with the blastocyst stage this time after an unsuccessful try with the multi cell stage last time. Dr.Keenan told me that he didn't really see a difference in the success rates between the 3 stages but my internet research showed that blastocysts generally have a better success rate. We know it's all in God's hands and we are trusting in that but we also thought it might be good to try a different stage since we only have 3 tries and this is our 2nd. We are getting excited about going back in July to try this again. We are hoping and praying that this works. I will probably have to start the shots sometime next week and then we will be on the same regimen that I was on last time. We are excited and nervous but mostly excited to have this opportunity again and hoping that this time at least one of these little embyros will survive and grow into a healthy baby! We will keep everyone posted!
