Our new plan...

So we have spent the last 2 Fridays at the Dr.'s. Friday the 29th we went to our new RE. He did not seem to have any concern that we would be able to get pregnant again from IVF he did have some reservations on how many embryo's we would transfer. He also gave us some questions to ask our Dr. about future pregnancy. All we have to do is wait for my next cycle to start of 6 weeks, and we will do a saline Ultrasound. Then we will be on our way to our next IVF cycle. I would think it would be some time in September/October. All in all it was a good appointment.

This past Friday we met with the perinatologist. She had the results from the pathology from the placenta. There was evidence that there was infection in the placenta. Which meant my cervix was open long enough to infect it. Which also means that even though Eleanna's main cause of demise was her cord being crushed and a blood clot. If that hadn't happened she still would have perished due to the infection. Not a great comfort, but it's good to know. We discussed both trans abdominal curclage (TAC) & trans vaginal curclage (TVC). After the discussion we came to the conclusion that at 12 weeks we would have a preventative TVC put in. We will also have weekly ultrasounds from 7-13+ weeks. We also discussed progesterone for the entire pregnancy. We will switch to weekly progesterone at about 16 weeks. Then at about 34-36 weeks they will take out the TVC and we will stop the progesterone so we can have the baby. Dr. also said that my high BP had no effect on the placenta so we will stay with our current medication for that. I will also have at least monthly testing for UTI (urinary tract infection). Dr. also said that this is all being done as a precaution and that she had no problem with us transferring 2 embryos and possibly having a twin pregnancy.

Now I am just ready to be moving forward. I hope that my period gets here soon so we can get the ball rolling sooner than later.
