I’m so very sorry. Do you have a follow up appointment setup?
Yes, for next week. I told them they need to schedule with my DH because I want him there. Mostly because I think I’ll just cry and not ask the questions I need to.
I’m honestly surprised at my reaction. I was expecting bad news, but I guess I had a litttle sliver of hope hiding somewhere.
I think its impossible to let go of that little bit of hope, no matter how much you anticipate bad news, that hope is what keeps us going. I am so very sorry you didn't get better news.

I'm so very sorry for all the setbacks and hard news in here. fairfax, I'm so sorry and in would feel the same way. Answers provide at least a semblance of comfort.

My FET consult scheduled for August 1st. It feels good to have another milestone coming up so I'm not just constantly thinking about the ultrasounds we'd be having if we hadn't had the loss.
I am leaning heavily toward canceling the work stuff that interferes with an earlier transfer. Thinking about postponing the transfer is giving me intense anxiety and thinking about canceling the work travel makes me feel a lot more calm. Just need to work out the details with my boss. If my cycle cooperates we'd transfer sometime around Sept. 10th.
So, my Dr just called. Apparently they took another look at the best embryo this morning and it is developed enough to send for PGS. She said it’s 4aa quality which I guess is good? So they are doing the biopsy/freeze/send for testing.
This is good news for sure, but I’m confused about how they’ve handled it. What a rollercoaster!

fairfax, I am having heart palpitations and it's not even my rollercoaster! Every ounce of positive energy I have is going toward that little embryo that could. I hope it's perfect. <3
My FET is scheduled for September 7th, which is the second day of school. I can’t do that. My FET consultation is next Wednesday, so I’ll have to discuss options at that time. I may postpone until December. I turn the magic 40 in December though.
Good luck fairfax , I hope you get some good news.

I am so bummed for you that you have to wait so long. I am kind of an IVF newbie, so please excuse my ignorance, but why are they waiting so long for the FET?
I go in tomorrow for a baseline ultrasound to do an IUI with injectables. I think we'll do a couple of injectable IUIs and that may be it. My H is not long for the IF world.

Good luck with your IUI cycle!
I’m in rough shape emotionally but not too much that can be done about that. Trying to look forward. I did just schedule some dental work (deep cleanings) that will be a good thing to get out of the way before our FET. I also have a whole long list of questions for the RE at our FET consult on August 1st. I’m just terrified that none of these other transfers will work even though there’s no real reason to think that. Back to feeling like time is passing soooooo slowly. I’m not a very patient waiter!

No question is a dumb question here!
It’s just he first available FET appointment he has. I hoping he’ll try to squeeze me in the week before, otherwise the wait will be brutal (I want to wait until the holidays when I have 5 days off, so the bajillion appointments are more manageable).
No, I am guessing next week it'll all start. Last time it took 10 days. I have been loading up on black cohosh. Waiting for the blue cohosh and the raspberry leaf tea to arrive . I'm hoping those will speed things along.

I'm officially missing my work travel and expecting to do FET around mid-Sept (starting the cycle on CD1 which may be mid-late August). I feel really good about this decision. It's kind of keeping me sane to think about moving forward as scary as it is. And September feels a lot sooner than October for some reason.
shoeless can you get some misoprostol if it doesn't happen? I know some women have painful experiences on it, but it's a middle step between raspberry leaf and a D&C, at least. I used two rounds of it after my first loss.
Okay, final embryo report! I had 12 fertilize and still had 12 on day 3, and today when they biopsied and froze them there were 4. I'm so-so about the number. We started with 30 eggs. My previous best round was 18 eggs and 3 embryos. So my feeling is that maybe they still aren't that high quality, but I could be wrong. It's totally possible that everything else has been a fluke so far. My doctor thought the first embryo/miscarriage that never really solidly took was mosaic, but maybe it just didn't attach well. And we knew the second one that didn't take was non-concurrent. Sure, it's been hard for me to get high-quality eggs that turn into embryos, but it only takes one.
Off to genetic testing, which of course seems to take forever. I need to wait a month to do my HSG again, since they want to do it after any miscarriage, so we'll transfer in 2 cycles (September) hopefully.

Four seems like a good number hoping your perfect take home baby is in there!

I've never regretted stepping back from work and in my case switching jobs, in order to pursue fertility treatments. Fingers crossed for your September transfer!!
