Trouble TTC

XP: WTF appointment finally!

We finally had our WTF appointment today 23 days after stopping meds, but who's counting!

Doctor said he looks at 4 main things when evaluating a failed cycle: stimulation, fertilization, transfer, and genetics. Lots of data and medical explanation later, he is very encouraged by how I stimmed, fert rate of 100% of my live eggs (one was dead which he said was normal), a #1 rated transfer by the geneticist, and the fact that I did get pregnant. He thinks there were genetic abnormalities with the embryos, which he says happens with 47% of day 3 transfers.  He also talked quite a bit about why he thinks FET's are more successful, especially now that I have proven that I can get pregnant. He actually did a research project on this in New York, which was a pretty cool story. He was not concerned at all about the bleeding I had after implantation or the low betas. Now I just need MORE AF vibes please! As long as I get my period by 2/13 or so I can make the March cycle for a FET.  Transfer would be 3/20. 

I'm so glad we have a plan!
