PUPO

Well I'm officially PUPO (Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise). We were able to transfer one 7 cell average quality embryo this morning. The other embryo was up to 8 cells but was abnormal (had more than one nucleus) so it was discarded. Our odds of success went from 50-60% to 30% but I'll take it.

I asked the doctor on call how common our situation is and she told us they do see this happen in those who need high doses of stimulation drugs (I took almost the max). They don't really know why but it's a sign there is definately something wrong with my ovaries but it's nothing they can fix and is a genetic thing. Yay, I love having one of those diagnoses they don't know much about.


We were also given another hormone to add to the mix. My estrogen level dropped too much sine the egg retrieval so we are adding Estrace. I now take progesterone 3 times a day and estrace twice daily. At least they are not in needle format!

Now we just wait and hope our little embryo snuggles in and keeps growing (in the right spot of course!)
