Green Light





We finally made it to our RE consult this morning!  Of course it included another round of winter weather.  The streets were like a skating rink but we don't live too far from the office and although we had a couple of scary bridges to cross they seemed to be well sanded and we actually made it in plenty of time safe and sound!


We met with Dr. B and he is very happy with Oklahoma!  Whew!  Her AFC ( Antral Follicle Count)  when he checked a few weeks ago was between 23-25!  Ummm mine at it's highest was 6.  Her bloodwork came back super and he has no hesitations about her.  So we have a lot of potential.  There is no way to know this early how many eggs we might get but he thinks close to 20 based on his experience.  Of course anything can happen.

He is all on board with us doing PGD testing to make sure we only transfer healthy embryos.  It will screen that the embryo has the right amount of chromosomes etc.  It will also tell us the genders if we choose to know that.  We choose to know!  He is pushing for a single transfer while we want a double transfer which will give us an 80% chance of twins.  ( Insert a bit of panic here)

We have a tentative schedule and are waiting on Oklahoma to start her protocol.  We should have an egg retrieval the last week of March.  We should have our transfer right before Easter.  That gives me chills just thinking about it!

So excited to finally be moving forward!
