Tomorrow is the big day

I can't believe tomorrow is the big day. I feel like it was only yesterday that I had the phone consult with the new doctor. We are so excited and optimistic. Our protocol has been completely different from the past transfers we have done. Last week I did whats called an Intralipid Infusion. Sometimes women (especially those with Endometriosis) have elevated natural killer cells. These see anything new in the body as an intruder and try to fight them off - just like an embryo. By doing the infusion it helps the body rid itself of these killer cells by carrying them out of the body. Hopefully, this will help.

I have also been on steroids as well as Cipro to get my body ready. And our new doctor uses a different type of progesterone supplementation - unfortunately they are nightly injections which aren't much fun - but we are willing to do anything to make this work.

I will post tomorrow when we know exactly how many we transfer. We are planning on 3 but it may end up being more depending on how they look after they thaw them

Say an extra prayer for us tonight! XOXOX
