Success after IF

Update on Kate!

Hey ladies, it's been a while! I've been totally consumed by Kate's recovery but thought I would stop by with some awesome news this morning! After 22 long, hard, scary days post transplant, I am thrilled to report that Kate is officially engrafted! Alex and I are thrilled that she has reached this milestone!!

She is still having issues - the biggest being the fact that she currently can't keep anything (and by anything I mean not even ice chips) down. She has to transition to oral meds before being released so we will start working on that now! But I know she will get there!

Thank you all for your support thus far! She has a long road ahead but I am thrilled we have reached such an important milestone!

  • Been thinking of you guys and sending juju every. single. day.

    Beyond thrilled to hear this wonderful news.

    Feeling like you can finally exhale? 

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
  • This is truly wonderful news! So happy to hear it!

    Not quite yet. We've still got a lot that needs to get better. Namely her stomach and platelets. She can seem to hold on to platelets at all so she's getting transfusions almost every day. Since her issues are platelet oriented, I'll feel much better when we see them recovering and increasing without transfusions!
  • That's great news!  I am so happy she is engrafted.  Good luck with the transition to oral meds.  I hope she starts to keep things down soon. 

    Thank you for the update.  I have been wondering how things were going.

  • Great news! So glad to hear that you have reached this point! You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers!!

    Thanks for the update!!! :)
