Results
We had our pregnancy test on Monday and the results came back negative. Its been a rough couple of days. We really appreciate all the love we have been shown. We met with Dr. Foulk today to talk about what went wrong and where to go from here. He said we got unlucky but that they were able to learn from this cycle and adjust my treatment. Apparently at my age and health I should have produced more than 13 eggs and more of them should have developed to the point that they could be used immediately or frozen. This means my endometriosis is affecting my ovaries as well as my Fallopian tubes. He suggested that I take Lupron for three months (yay more shots) which will essentially cause my body to stop creating estrogen. Since endometriosis feeds on estrogen this should kill it off for a year so we can try again within that time. We can't replace eggs that have been destroyed by the endometriosis but with it gone the eggs I do have should have more of a chance to develop fully. After three months we can try another IVF cycle. So, for now, we're trying to stay positive and save up money. Again, thank you for your kindness and for your prayers.
