So, my dr. referred me back to St. Louis, Washington University. I have been there once, many years ago. I saw a different dr. this time, Dr. Sarah Keller. She was oh-so-nice and very thorough. The consult we had with her lasted 1.5 hours. The consult at AFG was 10 minutes with mostly the nurse.
She explained so many things in greater detail than I had ever heard them. She pointed out a few things she would have done differently, which makes sense when she explained them. AND after reading the report on the frozen embryos we have left at AFG, only 1 is viable for a pregnancy. There are 3, and they led me to believe all were great. Apparently not. Thanks AFG.
Before we can start another IVF, I will be going through a round of lab tests. She said the goal was to get me pregnant, but they wanted me healthy before we got there. I am not unhealthy, but looking for hidden problems. She wants a full hormone workup, thank goodness, because I think I am definitely out of whack. I have PCOS and she is going to do a full workup for that too. I will be tested on insulin levels and iron, have a biopsy, and a couple ultrasounds.
I wish I had just chose to go here in the first place, but I didn't and need to stop beating myself up about it. We're on a different course now, with the ultimate plan unchanged. I am hoping to be pregnant by the end of the year, but only time will tell. One step at a time!
What would a blog be without a picture?! Since this is my first blog of July (I think......how absurd, I had promised to be better!) lets look at a picture from the 4th of July! You are looking at the new Kopec 4th of July! My dad, Raymond, and Raymond's father in law Rex took the time to set this all up and their hard work paid off. We enjoyed probably one of the best firework shows in West Frankfort! Hope your Independence Day was great too!
