Follow Up

Follow up follow up. I went to the clinic on Monday to find out about my endo biopsy. I couldn't believe I was back there. Moreove, a man walked in with 2 kids and seemed to know the people behind the desk then walked back to the offices. My appointment was 1:30--and this was 1:30. Our clinic has a rule about no children in the waiting room. I just knew when they walked back that this was my RE's family. IT was 1:30--and they were just getting there!! WTF. Now maybe there was some sort of emergency and they needed to see her, blah blah blah. She kept me waiting for 25 minutes!! 25 minutes. When the family left I was called in 2 minutes later. Then there it was---the picture of her kids on her desk--same kids that just left. Maybe it wouldn't bother a better person--but it bothered me. Anyway, it turns out I have Endometrits or whatever--some low grade infection in my uterus. My doc seeemed unconcerned with it, and said she thinks this in no way caused my ectopic. The treatment is 2 weeks of Doxy (which I was on right after my retrieval so it couldn't have been an infection that caused it). Whatever --she said, we found it so let's treat it. My DH was a call in and she seemed worried because he seemed distant on the phone. We really had nothing to say or ask. She pulled up our file and said that we have 6 frozen embryos--4 at A+ and 2 at A status. For our FET, if we chose to do it she said there is a mix of genders and then asked us repeatedly if we wanted to chose the gender. We said no. She said that we could  change our mind. She also talked to us about a single embryo FET (since their success rate is now 66% of pregnancies made in the clinic result in twins they are pushing the single transfer) unmedicated cycle ( I said I wanted the unmedicated cycle if we do it--she said fine). The only problem to unmedicated is if they can't determine when I ovulate they have to cancel the transfer, but I am a pretty regular person. I could probably tell them when I am ovulating. The earliest we can do it would be at my next period. Of course that is after 2 weeks of doxy AND another DAMN endobiopsy. Which are painful--and this will be my third one. Again, she said she is not worried about the infection. I also said that I have been having a ton of pain at ovulation and PMS--she said SO many women say that to her and she attributes it to the fact that we are now hypersenstive to our cycles--and said it would be especially different  if I had been on birth control (which I wasn't)--and she knows that from my file. Discounting much--we all have this pain and it is just awareness? That seems an easy answer to something they really they have no answer for at all. I know this post seems angry and I am not that angry or I didn't think I was until re-reading this. This was just an exploratory follow up. I am still numb to the whole idea.

She did tell us that our fresh embryo transfer was one boy one girl. Which we predicted and she confirmed is what they usually try to do. There was a moment in the meeting where I got the sense she was going to say that they weren't even our best quality embryos--but then she didn't say it. Who knows. That is where we are now, I am on doxy and waiting--my next endobiopsy is 9.15.2011. It took them 3 weeks to get the results from my last one and she said she was suprised at that because it usually only takes a week. Let's hope these come back sooner, because if we do try at our next cycle then day one is September 24th. She said my chances of an ectopic again do not increase because I have already had one (not that encouraging, since I have already had one).


It is absolutely amazing to me that if the ectopic was a normal pregnancy we would be going into our 3rd trimester--we would be just 3 months away from the due date of  Dec 11th---that time went fast (after the ectopic was resolved that is).

My hope---
