Up To Speed

RockyThe timeline of this website does not always sync to the calendar. That may be a blogger sin, I don’t know. If it is, then I am guilty, but it is certainly not the worst of my wickedness.

I bring it up now because people following the narrative of our IVF cycles are feeling bad for us, but it’s old news. I wrote about the experience of IVF from the beginning, but we kept it a secret from family and friends until the second round. All those silent months created a backlog of articles that were important to the story, but this week I can finally bring you up to speed.

The last embryo implantation actually took place on Mother’s Day, but the cycle did not end in a pregnancy. That sucked, and we cried, but as my sister likes to say, “Rub some dirt on it.” We are already deep into cycle number three, and things are looking great.

Michelle’s Egg Factory is back in business and running at full production. In all likelihood she will be triggered for Egg Retrieval this week, Embryo Transfer will be next week, and the pregnancy test will be mid September. Now we are all on the same page. Future posts will more or less follow real life. Oooh the drama.

We are doing a few new things for this cycle I will tell you about in the interim weeks. We did an experimental biopsy on the science side of things, and have seen a holistic hit squad1 of professionals to cover every other facet. We feel good. Ready for the title fight.

    Glad everyone is on the same page now. It is not only in this aspect of your life that we find we are behind on news. We, as family, usual find out things about Dirk and Michelle’s lives long after they happen. I read this blog just to know what my brother is up to.

    I don’t feel bad about that at all. Sure, you get news at the same time as thousands of strangers, but why is that so bad. The news is not verbal, or exclusive. Which one am I taking heat for here?

    Ooops. I may have spoke too soon in my last post while catching up on my reading. :-/
    Thank you so much for visiting me and commenting. I hope that wherever you both are in this crazy life there is an overflowing of love and support and very very soon an extra special cause for celebration and joy.
