So after everything got moving we had to stop and put it all on hold for 3 months or more. :( I had been taking my injections and was all ready for my transfer on June 20th. Then around the beginning of June I got a call from our nurse coordinator. My IM had tested positive for Hep B. It turned out to be a false positive and she had just come in contact with someone who had it and she doesn't actually have the disease (she has actually been vaccinated against it), but it still put us on hold until I could get the vaccines just in case. It is a series of 3 vaccines that take place over 6 months. We are hoping that I will have the antibodies to Hep B after the 2nd vaccine so that we can go ahead and transfer. If I don't then we have to wait the full 6 months so that I can have all 3 vaccines. My IM of course was devastated. She is so ready to be able to move forward and have me pregnant and I am too.

She ended up continuing her egg retrieval cycle since it was already started and they didn't want to waste that too. It is pretty easy to freeze the embryos for later use. They ended up retrieving 7 eggs which is really good. The sad thing is only one made it. The rest were abnormal. Again another set back for her.

We will do a fresh transfer as soon as I get the go ahead to start cycling again (meaning the embryo will not be frozen before implantation) The lone little frozen embryo will be for back up if the fresh doesn't work. Something on SMO that I find amusing, they call the frozen ones totsicles.

So that is my update, I am currently in limbo which is frustration. Especially since everything was moving along so well.
