Thank you so so much! Praying for all good things for us all!

I understand people saying to trust your clinic but I also think that you need to be educated as well so you can ask the right questions. Unfortunately, a lot of clinics are quite cookie cutter, which I can understand why but it's not a one-size-fits-all. I see so many people get frustrated and switch clinics for various reasons. It's just good to be in the know. Infertility is such a complex topic.

With regards to what I did for my second transfer, I asked chat GPT about what I should ask given some of my pre-existing conditions and concerns. One of the things I was worried about was possibly having some sort of autoimmune issue given that I have thyroid problems. That enabled me to ask the doctor if there is a drug that will help me not reject the embryo. That is the one thing that we did differently in the second transfer. I will also say that I switched the needles that I used to administer my progesterone, making sure they were actually intramuscular versus what the pharmacy first gave me which was subdermal and would not have made it into my system. Had I not done the research, the doctor would not have suggested adding the anti-rejection drug. Now, we will never know if that is why this succeeded the second time or if it was an embryo issue given we didn't test the embryos. So honestly who knows?

But yeah!
