Last week I met with the head of high risk/maternal fetal medicine at Columbia, in the city. She agrees that it looks like I can carry again, assured it were a singleton. She also anticipates a tough pregnancy -- likely PTL again, but hopefully not as early, and hopeful that I may benefit from some of the treatments that aren't helpful in a twin pregnancy... It was more emotional than I anticipated, and has had Georgia and Lucy on my mind...

I think we will try to stim in January/February. We will be doing the micro-ray testing [they map all the chromosomes for any abnormalities -- as I am not a candidate for prenatal invasive tests, and want to be assured of the best chances of BFP since I can only transfer one at a time], which currently requires a frozen transfer (to allow time to get results from the lab). Transfer isn't planned until sometime late next summer for a few reasons... So hopeful that we'll have a few 'on ice' so we can try multiple transfers if necessary. I'll be starting acupuncture again soon prior to stimming.

I am excited about the possibility of trying again, but know we have many hurdles to clear still... just missing my girls.

I hope that everything goes smoothly for you. Glad to hear you got some promising news to move forward for 2010. That's great. I will keep you in my thoughts as the next few months progress. Keep us updated with your progress and stim!
