Marvellous IVF update

in #ivf7 years ago

I'll cut the verbosity for this one.

In January I did a second round of IVF.

I was 43 and a bit back then.

I keep staring back at the photo I took now of my medical report because I can't quite believe it.

19 eggs retrieved. 10 embryos. 7 are grade AA.

Of course, I'll count my blessings... Well I believe the more appropriate saying is to not count one's chickens before they are hatched.

Did I mention that IVF is a psychologically hard? How am I to remain positive yet grounded?

Anyhow I'm feeling good right now, at the moment on a high. Just found out the embryo grading.

But, just so you know (and why would you know), age trumps all.

But at the same time those results are fucking amazing.

I feel quite positive about trying this next round.

I'm going to do a scratch on my womb this month. The healing process is meant to help rejuvenate the womb for receiving the embryo.

The joy of this blog being anonymous is that I don't feel like I'm jinxing anything.

I feel really positive. I believe I'll be pregnant next month.
