Success after IF

karyotyping back and moving on

This am we had our WTF (I guess it falls in that category) after our missed miscarriage.  DH and my karyotyping both came back norma, so no balanced translocation for us fortunately.  Our RE says that PGS isn't worth the money at this point in time.  I am pretty sure I agree with him but am super apprehensive about doing another FET with they embryos we have.  I feel like it should have worked by now if it was going to, like something might have been wrong with the cycle they retrieved 18 eggs from me.  I am not sure it's worth a second opinion or if I am just overthinking things.  I guess for now I am waiting for CD1.    
Me = 36 with PCOS and 1 tube removed for a cyst and adhesions
DH = 35 with low morphology

April '09 IVF (antagonist protocol) = 5R5M, none fertilized, cancelled at ET
May/June '09 IVF/ICSI = 6R6M6F, 2ET on 6.18.09, 1 frostie, Beta on
6.30.09 = 51 OMG!! Beta #2 = 167 Beta #3 = 2630!!!!! An uneventful pregnancy. 
3.16.10 a healthy beautiful miracle boy born via unscheduled c-section

Now on the quest for another, so our dear son is not alone.

May/June '12 IVF/ICSI (antagonist protocol) =10R9M9F, 1ET = BFN, 2 frosties
Aug '12 FET, 1ET= beta hell, 2 rounds of methotrexate, 4 months later Hcg < 2 
Jan/Feb '13 IVF/ICSI (long lupron protocol) = 18R18M18F, 1ET = BFN, 10 frosties
Apr '13 FET w 2ET (one from '09 and one newer) = (strep throat during 2ww) biochemical = BFN
June '13 FET w 2ET = 1 baby boy lost at 10w, D/E with karyotyping, loss due to monosomy 21.
Karyotyping of me and DH negative for a balance translocation.
Dec '13 FET w 2ET, BFP!!!! 12/26 beta #1 10dp5dt = 781, beta 2 12dpt= 2234 could this be real?!
  Not giving up yet.
5 frosties on ice.

Truly realizing how much of a miracle my son is and praying this will be a sibling for him.

Re: karyotyping back and moving on

  • Hugs. GL with your decision.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I know how hard it can be to not feel defeated but try and keep pushing forward, just taking it one small step at a time.  I'm not sure that I agree with you regarding there being something wrong or jinxed about the eggs retrieved that cycle but I can see where you would think that.  Maybe a second opinion is in order, or maybe you just need a little more time and space from all of this to see things in a new light.

    Huge hugs to you and I'm glad you at least got good news on your karotyping.

    Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.
