While I was driving home tonight I suddenly had this strange realization about WHY I'm not getting pregnant. Here's my thinking: we already know that the RE thinks we have an embryo quality issue. It takes five to seven days for the fertilized egg to make it's little journey from the tubes to the uterus. If we have an embryo quality issue, that amount of time could be the reason we're not getting pregnant. It could be that by the time the embryos get to the uterus, they're too weak or too diminished to implant. So, by transferring them on day three and giving them a head start with the assisted hatching, we could bypass those problems and it would mean a successful cycle this time around. I know it's all just a theory, but when the thought came into my head, I actually said outloud "And that's why this cycle is going to work!" It's just one of those feelings that comes around. It might not be fact, but it certainly feels like it.
It makes me happy.

I think you are absolutely right! It sounds like between you and your RE, you've come up with a great plan for the next cycle. And that's why this cycle IS going to work! :)
I saw your note about the chiro and your migraines. Do you think it's helping? (I'm interested b/c I have migraines too.)
The chiro said that it will work for most people with migraines, but it's a long process, so I won't see results for three months or more. The 'normal' chiro cycle is three months; my back is so out of sorts and my headaches are so bad that he's put me on a six-month schedule. Oh boy. I have to see him three times a week for a month, and then it will drop down to twice a week for three weeks, and after that once a week for five weeks. But I really think it's going to be worth it. If I can get rid of my neck pain and migraines, I don't care if it take six months.
