and...another one.

So this IVF is similar to the last one in many respects. Last time we were supposed to do 3 ultrasounds, then got to do an extra one. Well, today that happened. We have another ultrasound tomorrow morning. That Ultrasound will determine when we do the retrieval.

Right now, retrieval is looking like Thursday. There is a chance it will be pushed to Friday, but I seriously doubt it.

The follicles themselves are developing as well or better than last time, but taking about the same time. Her uterus lining is at least as good and I think (in my completely uneducated way) better.

So, last time things went pretty much how they were supposed to, and this time is much the same. The most likely culprit last time was a failure in the embryo to implant, but not by fault of the uterus lining. So, it is likely that will be the hurdle this time.

No idea what can be done about that (and I doubt anything really).

Either way, we are getting to the serious points again. The progress makes the process less miserable, as does the familiarity of it all. Stay tuned.
