for those of you chomping at the bits...

So, Jill and I have been talking and discussing the possibility of trying again...and it looks like we're going to give it another go. There are still a few more things that need to be sorted but we are moving forward with trying one last time.

For those of you wondering - since James and Jill have no more frozen embryos, we are going with a fresh cycle. So, Jill will be prepping her body to prepare eggs and then we'll have to time it perfectly so that when her eggs are ready (I keep picturing a kitchen timer - *DING*), my body will be ready and they will transfer more than one fresh embryo (and in the IVF world, they are called "freshies.") I know our chances will be a lot better with doing a fresh cycle vs a frozen cycle. We'll have multiple embryo's this time to which will increase our chances. Last round was about a 30% chance when we learned that only one emby survived the defrost. Hopefully this one will be up in the 90th percentile.

Exciting news, huh!

Sorry for keeping you all in suspense for so long. But there was stuff that needed to be sorted out so I didn't really have anything to update you with!! Thanks for being patient.
