Making Baby Whitehouse

1. New Year , New Plan

   December 19, 2022(edited)

   It\'s been a crazy Holiday Season so far. Kaitlyn\'s HCG hasn\'t gone down like we were hoping but our clinic thinks it\'s just because of how far along we were, more endless blood tests to happen. We did have a meeting with Dr. B who is just beyond amazing and has championed us from the moment we met him. Because of our history of multiple pregnancy losses, we are going to implement RPL empirical protocol which will include daily Blood thinners ( Lovenox) , IV Intralipids, Prednisone and possibly one more medication. I know Kaitlyn is very tired of injections, bruises and tears but we are committed to this. Thank you for everyone\'s continued support, we know the holidays can be rough financially so we ask that maybe you can share our fundraiser, who knows who may see it, it may help someone else who is struggling.

2. Not what we wanted to share

   Hello Everyone, We wanted to share with everyone whats been going on over the past few months. Kaitlyn had her egg retrieval and we are so thankful that the new medication protocol was successful and we ended up with 4 EMBRYOS! 2 Girls , 1 Boy and 1 Indeterminate( will have to retest this one), After having no viable embryos from our first round this was so amazing to hear. Kaitlyn and I decided to transfer our 1 Boy embryo on October 5th, a few days later we were surprised to see a positive pregnancy test, the joy that we felt was unimaginable, how lucky to have everything work on the first transfer. HCG levels were rising normally, Kaitlyn began to feel morning sickness , everything seemed to be going right. Sadly , we found out at our ultrasound that our embryo was not growing anymore and that there was no heartbeat . We are devastated, Kaitlyn will need further testing to figure out the cause of our RPL( Recurrent pregnancy loss) and we will need to save for another FET. Thank you everyone who helped us get this far, it was successful , if only for a moment.

3. DOR

   July 31, 2022(edited)

   Hello Everyone, Weve been having a very busy summer ! Some recent changes in diagnosis have happened as well, it looks like I have DOR or Diminished Ovarian Reserve , which makes IVF more difficult as I may not be a great responder , but also means that I dont have a great egg supply left. We are still forging ahead with starting cycle 2 sometime late August or September, but the cost has increased due to the medications I will now have to use. We still remain hopeful!
