lurker with a Q: Has anyone here been pulled from Attain?

Got news today that Attain (our multi-cycle buy program) wasn't happy with how our embryos looked for our first IVF and they wanted to pull us out of their program. Our Doc is appealing and we'll find out next week.

Has anyone been pulled from Attain? 

Why and when?

Thanks.

Long story: trying on our own + testing testing testing with 6 rounds of Clomid, more testing, injectables + TI, laparoscopy - one tube blocked, 2 IUIs with Follistim...BFNs.
RPL testing all normal, Karyotyping normal

Moving on to IVF.

IVF #1 April 2012 = BFN, IVF #2 June 2012 = BFP. U/S 7/23 = saw heartbeat but measuring behind. Follow up U/S on 7/30 - no heartbeat. D&C 8/2. Trisomy 12. IVF #3 Oct 2012 = Chemical Pregnancy

Phone consult with CCRM on 12/12/12 - ODWU 1/4/13 - both tubes clear(!) - AFC 24, AMH 3.2, FSH 9.6, LH 5.4, E2 25. DH has high frag rate but improved!
IVF #4 March 2013 CCRM. EP protocol w/ Menopur, Gonal-F & Dexamethasone. ER 3/29 & IMSI, PICSI. 43R 13M 10F 6blasts bio'd. CCS testing reveals 3 normals!!!
FET 5/31/13 of 1 4AA blast - thawed and expanded. 4dp5dt BFP.
Beta 9dp5dt = 181, 11dp5dt = 427. 1st u/s showed a healthy heartbeat! EDD 2/16/14

After 4 years of hoping and heartbreak, our sweet little bean was born on 2/19/14
We are so in love with her.

    I was. I signed up with them in March 2010 for an April/May 2010 IVF cycle. It was my second IVF, and they accepted me anyway because we stated we would be using DS this time due to the failure of IVF #1 and the poor embryo quality. Even with DS our embryos were horrible (which pointed to the fact that I also had egg quality issues), so they cancelled me from the program after that cycle. They were pretty prompt, though, in returning the money I was owed per the agreement. It seemed like the end of the world at the time, and it definitely wasn't. Good luck, hun!
